Nonpareils, pronounced non-puh-REHLs, are decorative candy pieces used on cakes and candy. Originally they were tiny, white balls of sugar, but have evolved into the commonly known "sprinkles" and available in a wide array of colors. Popular nonpareils sold in stores are now called Snowcaps and consist of semisweet chocolate covered in small white sprinkles.
