HELP! Does anyone know where I can buy...

Pearl sugar?

A friend of mine wants some for making a special bread....I guess it's for sprinkling over the top. Coarse grained sugar (like for coffee) will be too hard...

One of those things I know I've seen around but can't find it when I actually want to..!

Thanks in advance xx

Did have a look there thanks savemoney, the pearls I'm after are a different texture, like you get on some sticky buns or sweet bread...they're crunchy but not hard...

Will keep looking, thanks for posting x

They talk about them on the British Sugar website:

They have a contact us button - why not drop them an email for a local supplier?

They have it here at ChefShop.com (aka Hail Sugar) - see here - for $6.99, not sure about P & P so depends how much you'd be ordering to know if it was worth while
