mix-ins
Stirred-in bonus ingredients
Mix-ins are extra ingredients added to a base food—ice cream, frozen yogurt, salad, or similar—to customize it: I got cookie dough and brownie bits as mix-ins.
The term comes from ice cream shops where toppings are folded into soft-serve.
In programming, a mix-in is a class providing methods to other classes without being their parent—a way to add functionality without traditional inheritance.
