What it is

How people cook with it
These candies are perfect for adding a decorative touch or a burst of flavor to various desserts and baked goods. They can also be enjoyed on their own as a sweet snack.
- Decorating cakes
- Topping cookies
- Filling candy dishes
- Garnishing ice cream
These dark chocolate nonpareils can be used in many ways in the kitchen. They are often sprinkled over frosting on cakes and cupcakes for visual appeal and a delightful crunch. They can also be pressed into the tops of cookies before baking or added to homemade candies. For a simple treat, they can be placed in small bowls for guests to enjoy. Their small size makes them easy to distribute evenly over surfaces.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other chocolate candies, these nonpareils stand out due to the distinctive coating of sugar sprinkles. This coating offers a unique textural contrast to the smooth chocolate. The dark chocolate itself has a more intense cocoa flavor than milk chocolate varieties.

Home bakers and confectioners often use these to add a professional and appealing finish to their creations.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of these candies fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture from affecting the chocolate and the nonpareils. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this can cause condensation.
