For a small amount of aniseed sprinkles on the drinks table, a compact glass jar with a lid is a practical starting point. If you also want to store any leftovers in the same jar, look for a larger size with a secure seal. Before buying, check how much your pack holds: the weight in grams can’t be converted directly into a jar capacity in litres. When decanting the sprinkles, keep the pack’s ingredients and allergen information available for your guests.
Want to display the aniseed sprinkles without taking up too much table space? A compact jar is a good place to start. IKEA lists 1 l and 1.2 l glass jars as examples of possible sizes; test the jar with your quantity of sprinkles to check that it’s big enough.
If you want to store any leftover sprinkles in the same jar after your gathering, look for a well-fitting lid and keep them somewhere dry. Jumbo advises storing De Ruijter Roze en Witte Muisjes in a dry place.
Keep the packaging to hand so guests can check the ingredients or allergen information. For De Ruijter Roze en Witte Muisjes, Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten; check the current packaging for the variety you’re serving.
First decide how many aniseed sprinkles you want to put on the table, and whether you’ll also use the jar to store any leftovers. Then check the fit and seal, and consider what packaging information you need to keep available for guests.

Albert Heijn lists packs of aniseed sprinkles weighing 270 g and 330 g, while jars are labelled in litres. That doesn’t tell you whether your pack will fit in the jar you’ve chosen.
