Dragée
Okay, sweetie. Have you ever seen candy that's shaped like a little ball and has a hard, shiny coating on the outside? That's called a dragée!
To make a dragée, grown-ups start with a tiny piece of candy, like a sprinkle or a sunflower seed. They put that piece of candy inside a machine called a pan. The pan spins around and around, and the candy piece tumbles and bounces inside, getting coated in a special liquid made of sugar and coloring.
After lots of spinning and tumbling, the liquid hardens, forming a shiny shell around the candy piece. And voila! There you have a dragée!
People like to eat dragées because they're pretty and shiny, but also because the candy inside is usually a little bit sour or crunchy, which makes them even more fun to eat. But remember, only eat candy in moderation, okay?
