Melissa Gorga, has a new hustle: sprinkle cookies. Yes, you read that correctly—Sprinkle by MG, Melissa’s very own sprinkle cookie company, is here, and apparently, it’s been “a long time coming.”
Melissa Gorga shared the news on her Instagram page writing,
“
Introducing Sprinkle by MG! @sprinklebymg My passion for sprinkle cookies is finally available for you! With Sprinkle by MG!! The ultimate sprinkle butter cookie that’s as chic as it is delicious! Trust me… you will NOT want to throw these in the garbage 
Don’t miss out—order now and make your celebrations even sweeter!”
Sprinkles cookie became a thing after Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice recalled an issue she had with her sister-in-law after Melissa Gorga brought sprinkle cookies to her home.
In that scene Teresa Giudice recalled a very pregnant Melissa Gorga bringing a box of sprinkle cookies to her home on Christmas Eve. Teresa’s mother-in-law threw the cookies away—and the drama was born. It was Teresa Giudice who made this scene a thing. It was Teresa who turned the situation into a major RHONJ moment, setting the stage for the kind of tension that fans could only dream of. Teresa spoke out about the cookie incident, and suddenly, sprinkle cookies weren’t just a snack—they were part of the Gorga-Giudice feud lore.
@hayusocial it's beginning to look a lot like sprinkle cookie season #RHONJ ? original sound – Hayu
The timing of this sprinkle cookie launch is also… convenient, to say the least. As Bravo remains tight-lipped about the future of RHONJ, it seems Melissa might be hedging her bets and diversifying her portfolio. You know, in case the Housewives gig isn’t waiting for her in 2025. The cookie business could be her soft landing when Bravo inevitably cleans house and considers fresh faces.
Melissa’s husband, Joe Gorga, of course, is fully on board, giving his seal of approval , because nothing says “authentic Italian dessert” like Joe Gorga’s stamp of approval. That’s the same man who’s convinced a pizza from a gas station is the key to Italian culinary perfection, so we’re sure his opinion on cookies is just as credible. But hey, if Joe loves them, it must be a family affair, right?
Now, as Melissa looks to expand her sprinkle empire with ideas like sprinkle cakes and cookie crumb cakes, it’s clear she’s hoping for a sweet future, even if it’s only sweetened by her association with Teresa. Because let’s face it: without Teresa Giudice, there would be no drama, no cookies, and certainly no “iconic” moments for Melissa to try and cash in on.
In the end, you’ve got to respect the hustle, even if it’s a little… sprinkled with desperation. After all, Melissa Gorga’s brand has always been tied to the drama her sister-in-law creates. Without Teresa, Melissa is just another Housewives casualty trying to stay relevant.

Its funny how the only remotely iconic thing connected to Melissa is still a Teresa moment. Melissa is so unimportant, i cant
What would poor Melissa do without Teresa? The only story line she has is her SIL. BTW, the sprinkle cookies were "store bought" which is why Teresa threw them out. I've had those and they do taste like cardboard. Personally, I prefer a fresh ricotta cannoli. BTW, can't believe she's charging 30 bucks for 12 cookies.?
Tre wrote on x "Your Welcome" lol. That's why people love the OG
Welp, good for her.
Btw Joey. They are not an “ authentic Italian dessert”.??????
I don’t like sprinkle cookies , or pignoli cookies. They are dry AF.?

Yep, those are some pricey sprinkle cookies! Even if that was my thing, no thank you ma'am. I'm sure the ingredients include desperation, envy and lots of ill will.
Exactly!
I just read an article and hot damn Cam – this lady is writing everything we have said for years ! She rewatched rhonj from beginning posed the question how can anyone be team Melissa ? Courtney Lander , writes for Collider . Sorry to be off topic but I find it fitting in re to these “ cookies”… lmao
I love this!! and you know Teresa is so MAD LOL.
Why would she be? She’s the reason yet again, Melissa has something . Teresa “ paved” the way for this inauthentic biatch . It’s hilarious that Teresa put out a cookie recipe recently then boom here comes copycat ..
I hope Melissa makes a ton of money on these cookies. Next year, when Teresa and Louis are on marriage bootcamp, she will be sayng that the money should be hers
Why would Tre be mad? The sprinkle cookie became a "thing" because of her. It proves her point that the Gorgas have nothing that Teresa hasn't provided.
This beef always seemed so weird to me. Am I understanding correctly that Teresa was being so ungrateful and rude towards Melissa simply because she prefers a Pignoli cookie over Sprinkle cookie? All this talk about Italian cookies, I don't think I'm going to be able to wait until Christmas!~

No she was insulted by the store bought, cellophane wrapped sprinkle cookie, brought to a table laden with bakery quality goods. No one is going to choose them over what was already there. I loved when Tre's mom threw them out lol.
Kind of like laying out some Chips Ahoys next to some delectable petit fours at brunch huh? How déclassé!
So was it Teresa's mom, mother in law, or Teresa herself? The story changes all the time.
Minor detail. Whoever threw them out, Teresa agreed.
