A 2-pack of chocolate sprinkles is handy if you want to keep two sealed packs for different occasions; Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter dark and milk chocolate sprinkles in this format. If you mainly use one flavour on bread or as a topping, a single 300 g box may suit your stock-up needs better. A 2-pack doesn’t automatically contain individual advent calendar portions, so decide how many compartments you want to fill and check the pack contents.
If you want to keep packs sealed until different occasions, a 2-pack is one format to consider. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter dark and milk chocolate sprinkles as a 2-pack; check the contents before planning how to fill the calendar.
If you regularly use the same flavour on bread or as a topping, the amount in each box matters. Jumbo’s range includes boxes of 200 g and 300 g.
If you’re choosing sprinkles for different people, check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack for each variety. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens must be clearly shown on the labels of prepacked foods.
First, decide whether you want to share out sealed packs or portion the contents of a box yourself. Then choose a flavour and check the label on the variety you’re actually buying.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How easy they are to portion | Check how many packs are in the multipack, the net weight and how much you want to use in each compartment. | If I want to spread treats across the days of a calendar, I need to know whether I can use sealed packs or need to portion them myself. This is a priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Quantity for regular use | Compare the net weight of boxes with a flavour and use that suit you. | For lunchboxes and bread at home, I want enough of the flavour we use regularly. Around 25% of consumers prioritise having enough in stock. |
| Choice of flavours | Check whether your preferred flavour is available as a single box, a mix or a 2-pack. | When treats are for different people, I want to be able to switch between flavours. This variety matters most to around 19% of consumers. |
| Labelling and storage | Read the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information and storage instructions for your chosen variety. | If other people will be eating the sprinkles, I want to check the ingredients and allergens; if I’m using them regularly, I also pay attention to the nutritional information. For around 25% of consumers, this label information matters most. |
‘2-pack’ describes the multipack format, not the number of separately measured portions.
Count the compartments you want to fill, decide how much to put in each one, then check the contents of the multipack.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties. For example, Joybuy’s product pages list milk and soya for De Ruijter milk chocolate sprinkles, and wheat, soya and milk among the ingredients for De Ruijter Vlokkenfeest.
Check the current label for each variety, especially if you’re sharing the sprinkles with other people.
If you use a box over several days of the calendar, it will stay in use for longer after opening. Jumbo says De Ruijter Vlokken Puur should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Follow the storage instructions on your chosen pack and seal the box carefully after use.

Not necessarily. The 2-pack label on Albert Heijn’s De Ruijter dark and milk chocolate sprinkles describes the multipack format, not a set of calendar portions. Check the contents and decide how much to use in each compartment.
A single box could be a good fit if you regularly use the same flavour on bread and don’t need to split the sprinkles into sealed packs. Jumbo lists boxes of 200 g and 300 g, among others; choose a size that suits how you use them.
Yes, read the label for the variety you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens must be clearly listed on prepacked foods; the ingredients in one variety of sprinkles may differ from those in another.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal the box carefully after use. Jumbo says De Ruijter Vlokken Puur should be stored in a cool, dry place; also check the best-before date on the box you’re using.
