Dragées

Posted August 2019 
by Stephen Schmidt 

A seed, spice, or nut coated with a smooth or rough hard candy shell. Today, the word has come also to designate small, brightly colored decorations made out of sugar paste, such as “silver balls,” “sprinkles,” and nonpareils. (Originally, nonpareils were dragées of poppy or celery seeds.)
