- Baking decorations
- Party favors
- Crafts
People often eat Smarties straight from the bag as a quick sweet snack. They are also frequently used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, adding both color and texture. In baking, they can be incorporated into cookie dough or used to create colorful patterns on frosted desserts. For parties, they make excellent additions to candy bowls or can be packaged into small bags as favors for guests. Their small size and bright appearance also make them suitable for various craft projects.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other chocolate candies, Smarties are distinguished by their distinct candy shell. This shell offers a textural contrast to the chocolate and prevents it from melting as easily in hand. The vibrant, uniform colors also set them apart from candies with more natural or varied appearances.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your Smarties fresh, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain the crispness of the candy shell and the quality of the chocolate inside.
