If you want to measure out chocolate sprinkles in advance for after school, individual portions such as De Ruijter Kleintjes are a more straightforward choice than relying on a squeeze bottle. The portions are still sprinkleable; with a large pack, you can use a set spoon measure. Check the packaging, ingredients and nutritional information for each variety.
If you want to share out chocolate sprinkles after school without pouring them from a large pack each time, individual portions are worth considering. Albert Heijn lists eight portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes. You still sprinkle out the contents yourself.
If your child needs to avoid a particular ingredient, check the specific variety rather than relying on the brand name alone. Jumbo lists milk, soya and lactose for De Ruijter Hagelslag Melk; Venz Kwinkslag also contains wheat and gluten-containing cereals.
If you use them regularly, pack size may be a factor. Jumbo and ALDI each list a 600 g variety of chocolate sprinkles. The contents are not divided into portions in advance, so decide how much to use for each snack.
Start by thinking about how you want to serve the chocolate sprinkles. Then check the label on the specific variety and consider how much you use at home.
