Common mistakes
-
Assuming whole and crushed sprinkles are interchangeable
Whole sprinkles have a different texture and crunch from crushed ones. This means the variety you choose may not suit the way you want to serve rusks, yoghurt or cakes.
First decide whether you want whole aniseed seeds or a finer topping, then choose your pack.
