Confetti candy is a confectionery food product that is prepared with cooked sugar and corn syrup that is formed into sheets, cooled, and then cracked or broken into pieces.[1][2] It has a hard, brittle[3] texture. To add eye appeal, colored sugar is sometimes sprinkled atop after the cooking and shaping process has been performed.[1]
Confetti candy, also known as confetti sprinkles is also a confectionery that consists of flat or disc-shaped candy sprinkles.[4][5] These are similar to round nonpareils, but are prepared in disc form.[5] It is often used to decorate confectioneries and other sweets.
