I'm making some strawberry bread that calls for a streusel topping. Can I substitute the Cinnamon Sprinkles for the streusal? I haven't used them yet and was wondering how similar to streusal they would be.

I would add them to the struesal - in place of the cinnamon and sugar.
 
I agree with Becky. They definately are NOT the same as streusal...but would be a super addition TO the topping!
