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,
“
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.

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.
