What it is

Milk Chocolate Nonpareils are small, round candies made from milk chocolate, coated with tiny, decorative sugar sprinkles. They are a type of confectionery, combining the rich flavor of milk chocolate with a crunchy, colorful outer layer.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Milk Chocolate Nonpareils to products primarily for their sweet taste, varied texture, and appealing visual presentation. They are commonly found in snack mixes, trail mixes, baked goods, and as toppings for desserts and ice cream.

Health notes

Milk Chocolate Nonpareils are a confectionery item, not a single food additive. As a sweet treat, they are high in added sugars and saturated fats. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars and that saturated fat intake be less than 10% of daily calories. The colorful sprinkles often contain artificial food colors, which are regulated by the FDA. In April 2025, the FDA announced a plan to phase out several petroleum-based synthetic dyes, such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6. Additionally, Red 3 was revoked by the FDA for food use in January 2025, with manufacturers having until January 2027 to comply.

Allergen info

This product contains milk. It may also contain soy, often present as soy lecithin in chocolate. It is not a major allergen itself, but its components are.
