Ice cream confetti

Jimmies are the tiny rod-shaped candy pieces sprinkled on ice cream, cupcakes, and doughnuts.

The term is primarily Northeastern American, especially around Philadelphia and Boston, where ordering ice cream with jimmies is standard.

Elsewhere in the United States, these are usually called sprinkles.
