They are often used as a fun and whimsical addition to holiday treats. Their size makes them easy to handle and distribute across baked goods. The chocolate flavor is sweet and familiar, appealing to many palates.

Simply scatter these chocolate candies over your baked goods or desserts. They adhere well to frosting and icing, making them ideal for decorating cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. You can also mix them into trail mix or sprinkle them on top of ice cream sundaes for an unexpected treat.
