About English trifles....?

The only decoration an English Trifle takes is slivered toasted almonds. That is a really traditional one.

If you still want to use sugar coated gums, look for Jelly Diamonds, made by SuperCook in the baking section of your local supermarket. I know Sainsburys sells them.

Just so you know what you're looking for here is a picture:

Also Jelly Tots (I believe they're made by Rowntree), they're about the size of a 5p coin and could do the trick.

The traditional English Trifle has toasted slivered Almonds on top. However many people to use hundreds and thousands as an alternative.

Why not try a Scottish trifle instead and decorate it with toasted almonds and glace cherries?

Put Drambuie in it rather than sherry - it's delicious!

I've only seen nuts (sliced almonds etc) on the top of English trifle (or very occasionally sprinkled with hundreds and thousands)

Edit - To the thumbs down person, most of the recipes I see on the Internet include chopped nuts as well as the ones my friends and family make and I see in the supermarket.

This will give you more info on sprinkles anyway

Good luck xox

I dont think they were gum. Sugar strands used in baking otherwise known as 'hundreds and thousands'.

Love trifle. mmm

The top anwers is correct, they are called hundreds and thousands. Our Trifle's are yummy lol

Yep. Hundreds and Thousands. They are not gum; but sugar sprinkles

sometimes they are called sugar strands or sprinkles, try this link, choccie ones are called vermicelli
