<P> In the United States, traditional nonpareils gave way for most purposes by the mid 20th century to "sprinkles" (known in some parts as "jimmies"), confections nearly as small but usually oblong rather than round and soft rather than brittle . Like nonpareils, their function is more decorative than gustatory as their actual taste is indistinct, and the products they are applied to are usually themselves very high in sugar . Candy - covered anise seeds called muisjes, sometimes mistaken for traditional nonpareils, are sometimes offered at breakfast in the Netherlands to be served on bread and butter . They are, however, usually served on rusk to celebrate the birth of a child . This is known as "beschuit met muisjes ." </P> <P> In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, nonpareils are known as "hundreds - and - thousands ." In Australia and New Zealand, they are often eaten on top of patty cakes or on buttered bread as fairy bread, as festive items at children's birthday parties . </P> <P> The term "nonpareils" can also refer to a specific confection: a round flat chocolate drop with the upper surface coated with nonpareils . This confection is also referred to as "chocolate nonpareils ." Nestlé makes a variety marketed as Sno - Caps . In Australia, these confections are commonly known as "chocolate freckles," or simply "freckles ." Nonpareils are also sold in the United Kingdom as "Jazzles," "Jazzies," "jazz drops" and "Snowies" (the latter being of the white chocolate variety). </P>
