They are a popular choice for adding a festive and decorative touch to a wide variety of baked goods and desserts. Their firm texture provides a satisfying crunch.
How people cook with it

Apply these sprinkles generously to frosting or icing while it is still wet. This allows the sprinkles to adhere properly to the surface of your baked goods. They can also be pressed into fondant or buttercream for a more secure decoration. For a simple yet effective touch, sprinkle them over freshly baked cookies before they cool completely. They are also a fun addition to homemade candies or chocolate bark.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike nonpareils, which are tiny spheres, jimmies are elongated and cylindrical, offering a different textural experience. Their distinct shape and the way they lie on frosting also create a different visual effect compared to other sprinkle types.
Who it is for
Bakers of all skill levels use these sprinkles to enhance the visual appeal of their creations.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused sprinkles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent clumping. This will ensure they remain ready for your next baking project.
