About Colored sprinkles

Colored sprinkles are small decorative confectionery pieces used to add colour and a sweet, sometimes lightly crunchy finish to baked goods, desserts and other foods. They are commonly made from sugar with a binder, starch or other shaping ingredients, and may contain colouring and flavouring. Shapes include narrow rods, tiny beads and flat confetti-like pieces.

The term covers varied products rather than one recipe; some are hard and crisp, while others soften on moist foods. They are sold in single colours or mixes. Nutrition comparisons should use the specific product, since ingredient proportions and coatings vary, and toppings combined with a food change the composition of the finished serving.
