If you’re sharing aniseed sprinkles with several guests, a 330 g pack is a practical place to start; pink-and-white, blue-and-white and multicoloured varieties are available in this size. Choose a colour to suit the occasion, or opt for 270 g of crushed sprinkles if you’d prefer a finer texture. Check the ingredients and allergens on the current pack each time.
If you’re making rusks with aniseed sprinkles for several guests, the pack size can help you plan. PLUS describes its 330 g pink-and-white pack as providing around 22 servings; how many rusks you can top depends on how much you sprinkle on each one.
Pink-and-white, blue-and-white and multicoloured celebration sprinkles each create a different look. The colour varieties reviewed are available in 330 g packs.
If someone needs to avoid wheat or gluten, the colour isn’t the deciding factor: the De Ruijter varieties reviewed list wheat or cereals containing gluten. Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you’re actually serving.
First, work out how much you want to serve, then choose your preferred colour or texture. Even if you’re buying a familiar variety, check the current label too.

|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare 330 g with 270 g and choose a pack size to suit the number of guests and the amount you’ll serve per portion. | If I’m topping rusks for several guests, I don’t want to run out halfway through. Having enough in the pack would be the first concern for roughly 40% of consumers. |

| Texture | Check whether you’re buying whole or crushed sprinkles; the 270 g pack reviewed contains crushed sprinkles. | For a finer topping on rusks or cakes, I’d prefer crushed sprinkles to whole ones. Texture would be the main consideration for roughly 20% of consumers. |
| Label | Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the current pack. | If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know what I’m serving before choosing a colour. Label information would be the most important factor for around 10% of consumers. |
PLUS says its 330 g pink-and-white pack provides around 22 servings, but the number depends on how much you sprinkle on each rusk or other portion.
Count your guests and think about how you’ll serve the sprinkles. A 270 g pack may be a better fit if you need a smaller quantity or specifically want the crushed variety.
The pink-and-white, blue-and-white and multicoloured varieties reviewed contain wheat starch. Choosing a different colour won’t automatically make the sprinkles suitable for someone who needs to avoid wheat or gluten.
Choose a colour to suit the presentation, but check the ingredients and allergens on each pack separately.
Ingredients and allergen information can change, as Albert Heijn notes in its product information. This is particularly relevant if you’re shopping well in advance of the occasion.
Check the current pack in store or when it arrives, including the best-before date and storage instructions.
