What does DRAGEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small sugar-coated sweet, or a tiny hard, shiny ball used to decorate cakes and pastries.
A dragee usually has a nut, seed, or piece of fruit at its centre wrapped in a hard, polished sugar shell, making a firm little sweet that can be eaten on its own. The same word also covers the tiny metallic-looking silver or gold balls scattered over wedding cakes and pastries purely for decoration, which are not always meant to be eaten. French confectioners are usually credited with popularising the dragee for both purposes.
