Notes
These little beauties can be used in so many ways. They take 10 minutes to bake, and will keep for some weeks in the fridge once done. I use them as garnishes on cakes, drizzled over desserts, or sprinkled over salads, and they are good enough to eat just on their own. The quantity here is enough for sprinkling over 6 desserts (20g per dessert) so if you wish to have more then double the quantity but stick to the same baking time.
