For sharing, the Party Aniseed Sprinkles and blue-and-white sprinkles listed each offer more at 330 g than the crushed version at 270 g. Choose between them based on colour and texture. If you’re filling individual Advent calendar compartments, you’ll need to portion and package the loose sprinkles yourself. Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging you receive before handing them out.
You want to divide the sprinkles between your own bags or containers, or use them as a topping. Decide how many compartments you’re filling and which colour will work best. These are loose sprinkles, not individually wrapped calendar treats.
If you’re making cupcakes, rusks or other treats for a group, the quantity you need matters. Jumbo lists 330 g packs of Party Aniseed Sprinkles and 270 g packs of Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles; PLUS lists 330 g packs of blue-and-white aniseed sprinkles.
Wheat or cereals containing gluten are listed for the Party, crushed and blue-and-white varieties mentioned here. Read the label on the pack you receive before giving the sprinkles to anyone else.
First, decide how many individual treats you want to make. Then compare the pack size and type, and check the ingredients for the people you’ll be sharing them with.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and portions | Compare 330 g with 270 g and decide how many portions you want to make yourself. The pack doesn’t contain ready-made calendar bags. | If I’m filling several compartments, I want to know how many loose sprinkles I can put in each one. For around 33% of consumers, quantity and portioning it themselves come first. |
| Colour and texture | Decide whether you want to use the multicoloured Party variety, blue-and-white sprinkles or crushed sprinkles. | When the topping is visible on my treats, I want it to suit the presentation. Colour or texture matters most to around 25% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and highlighted allergens on the pack you receive. Check the nutritional information if the amount of sugar per portion matters to your choice. | If I’m sharing treats with someone who needs to watch out for wheat or gluten, I want to check the label first. Around 42% of consumers give this check top priority. |
The sprinkles mentioned here are loose. So a 330 g pack won’t automatically give you individually wrapped treats for your calendar compartments.
Count the compartments, decide how much you want to use in each one, and make sure you have suitable packaging if you’re handing out individual portions.
Wheat or cereals containing gluten are listed for the Party, crushed and blue-and-white sprinkles mentioned here. The colour you choose doesn’t tell you whether they’re suitable for someone who needs to avoid these ingredients.
Check the allergens on the pack you receive. If a particular dietary requirement must be met, only choose a product whose suitability is confirmed on the label.
Albert Heijn notes that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information may change.
Before handing out the treats, compare the online information with the label on the pack you actually received.

Follow the instructions on the packaging. The product information mentioned here says to store them in a dry place; keep the pack tightly closed after opening and check the best-before date too.
Use the list to help you make your choice, but read the label on the pack you receive before handing out the treats. Albert Heijn warns that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information may change.
