Description: The great thing about sprinkles is that they come in such incredibly bright colors. I just can't help but be happy when there's sprinkles about. Especially if they're on top of a cupcake, lying happily amongst great gobs of messy frosting. Yes, life is good when you have sprinkles.

Sprinkle History: In the Netherlands, chocolate sprinkles, or "hagelslag," are used as a sandwich topping for sandwiches with sweet contents. Dutch hagelslag was first invented in 1936 by Gerard de Vries for Venz, a Dutch company made popular by said treat. Several letters to Venz from a five-year-old boy, H. Bakker, asking for a chocolate bread topping, inspired and prompted de Vries's development of sprinkles. After much research and venture, de Vries and Venz created the first machine to produce the tiny cylindrical treats. They were named "Hagelslag" after their resemblance to a weather phenomenon prominent in the Netherlands, hail.
