I used to get into trouble for eating them, when I was a kid. Grandpa had
them in five or six different colors--silver, gold, and pastels in pink,
green, blue, and yellow--and I used to sneak them out of the jar and eat
them in secret. There are a couple of jars of them in the cake decorating
stuff I inherited, including a jar of really teeny ones.

They're called dragees, IIRC. It's French. Means something in French, I
assume. ;-)
