sprinkles
Tiny candy decorations
Sprinkles are tiny pieces of candy used to decorate baked goods, especially cupcakes and ice cream cones.
They come in various colors and shapes—the elongated kind are also called jimmies.
To add sprinkles is to scatter them lightly: She topped the cake with rainbow sprinkles.
A sprinkle of something is a light scattering: a sprinkle of rain, a sprinkle of cinnamon.
