i've known them as nonpareils since i was a kid. i never knew they were also called needhams until somewhat recently.

Aren't nonpareils those little chocolate discs covered in white sprinkles?

Needhams are kinda like a Mounds bar— chocolate covered, coconut, but the sweet white part is just potato & powdered sugar instead of monosodoguckitymuckcrose

i must have got my wires crossed somehow

my dad loves nonpareils. he would buy them by the bag when hannaford used to stock them in their self-serv candy chute things. you'd scoop them into your bag and then pay by weight at the register. if it wasn't that, it was a couple boxes of snocaps.

i have no idea why i held such confident beliefs that needhams and nonpareils are the same thing. but that's on brand for me.

Nonpareils are a completely different candy. No relationship whatsoever.

No, no. Nonpareils and needhams just don't happen to be your area of expertise, that's all!
