Melissa Gorga Expands Let’s Sprinkle Empire Amid RHONJ Family Drama and Sister-in-Law Tensions

Melissa Gorga, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is proving that her entrepreneurial skills are as strong as her reality TV presence. In the nine months since launching her cookie brand, Let’s Sprinkle by MG, the Jersey mom has transformed the company into a thriving business, all while navigating the ongoing drama with her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, and the evolving dynamics of RHONJ.

Melissa initially debuted her signature sprinkle cookies in December 2024, and the response was overwhelming. Within three months, the brand generated $500,000 in revenue, and as of September 2025, Let’s Sprinkle has surpassed $1 million in sales, according to a company press release. “I was so overwhelmed, but also overjoyed with how the response was to the sprinkle cookies,” Gorga said in an interview with People. She attributed much of the brand’s viral success to TikTok videos featuring taste tests and creative recipes, which captured the attention of a younger audience and boosted nationwide sales.

The expansion hasn’t stopped with cookies. In April, Melissa introduced the buttery coffee cake, followed by a Fourth of July edition that capitalized on the holiday market. On September 14, 2025, she announced three new products: premium almond-vanilla coffee, sprinkle-patterned oven mitts, and a “Cup of Joe” coffee mug, which are available now on the Let’s Sprinkle website. Prices range from $12.99 for the mug to $19.99 for the coffee beans or ground coffee, with the mitts priced at $14.99.

Melissa showcased the new products on Instagram, emphasizing the joy and fun they bring. “What’s a Sprinkle Cookie without A Cup Of Joe!!!” she posted. “We now offer the most delicious vanilla, almond-flavored coffee! Beans or ground coffee, the Joe mug, and also the chicest pair of oven mitts.” Her husband, Joe Gorga, enthusiastically endorsed the products in a promotional video, joking about the personal touch of having his name on a mug. “I don’t know what’s better than a sprinkle cookie with a vanilla-almond coffee,” he said. “A mug with my name on it!? You got your name on your mug? No… Look at me. Sunday morning. Best coffee ever.”

Melissa’s venture into the food and lifestyle industry is particularly impressive given her busy schedule, which includes filming RHONJ, running her boutique Envy, podcasting, and raising three children. “I’ve always had in the back of my mind, like, ‘I need to come out with my own sprinkle cookie,’” she explained to Decider. She revealed that timing was crucial, noting that despite the delay, the brand’s launch ended up being perfect, especially with the viral social media response.

While her business flourishes, Melissa continues to navigate the complicated relationships featured on RHONJ. Recently, her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice extended an olive branch, sparking speculation about a possible reconciliation. However, Melissa firmly shut down the possibility. “The truth is, for the last year, the door has been closed,” she said at the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards. She added that neither she nor Teresa have had contact in nearly two years, making the peace offering “so strange” and unexpected.

Despite this tension, fans remain hopeful. Teresa herself has hinted that a reunion could be possible, saying she would “never say never” regarding the family coming together again. Her daughter, Gia Giudice, chimed in with a pragmatic perspective: “I think everyone can co-exist. Just put your ‘big girl’ panties on and be mature,” she said, emphasizing that viewers might be eager to see some resolution on-screen after years of family drama.

Meanwhile, RHONJ is undergoing a major overhaul as Season 15 approaches. Reports indicate that some cast members, including Melissa and longtime stars Margaret Josephs and Dolores Catania, have already participated in test filming with potential new cast members. Teresa’s involvement remains uncertain, though insiders say she is “still in consideration” as producers evaluate the chemistry and dynamics between old and new personalities.

The combination of Melissa’s thriving business and the ongoing family tensions adds another layer to the show’s narrative. Let’s Sprinkle has become more than just a side project; it’s a key part of Melissa’s brand identity and a recurring talking point on RHONJ, often sparking on-screen conflicts. Fans will likely watch closely to see how Melissa balances her expanding business empire with her personal life and professional relationships, particularly with Teresa.

As for Let’s Sprinkle, the brand shows no signs of slowing down. Melissa has successfully leveraged her celebrity status, social media influence, and business acumen to create a product line that appeals to a wide audience. By branching into coffee and kitchen accessories, she has diversified her offerings, ensuring that Let’s Sprinkle reaches beyond the cookie market.

The interplay between business

With RHONJ Season 15 in the works and Let’s Sprinkle thriving, Melissa Gorga has positioned herself as both a savvy entrepreneur and a reality TV powerhouse. Whether fans are tuning in for the latest family drama or the newest product launch, one thing is clear: Melissa continues to sprinkle her influence across multiple arenas, blending business, television, and personality in a way that keeps audiences engaged and invested.
