I love Mentos, and while having some this week, noticed the word “dragees” on the packet – obviously describing the sweets, but I had no idea what it meant. Thanx to Google I managed to find the definition 
Round, edible sugar balls coated with silver or gold and used for decorative purposes.
Small chocolate hemispheres and silver-colored balls of sugar used to decorate cakes.
A dragée (IPA: , from Greek tragêmata “sweets, treats”) is a form of confectionery that is more decorative and symbolic than a substantial sweet. Dragées currently take three forms in the confectionery world.
