Who is it for?

Hosts who want to decorate treats

Looking for loose aniseed sprinkles for things like Dutch rusks or cupcakes, and happy to prepare the treats themselves. Albert Heijn and Jumbo suggest these uses for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

Shoppers looking for a small portion

Want to use crushed aniseed sprinkles for a single occasion, but need to bear in mind that they come in a 270 g pack rather than as an individual bar. Consider whether you can use the rest later and store it in a dry place.

Shoppers who need to avoid wheat or gluten

Need to check the ingredients before serving the treats: Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Check the label on the pack you’re using.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want a ready-made bar or loose sprinkles to make your own treats. Then check the pack size and ingredients.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Serving at the party Choose a base for the loose sprinkles in advance, such as Dutch rusks or cupcakes. Check the product format if you’re actually looking for a bar. I want to finish small sweet treats myself, not hand out a bar; this serving preference would be the top priority for around 44% of consumers.
Pack size and using leftovers Compare the 270 g pack with how much you plan to serve, and check the storage instructions on the packaging. For a single occasion, I want to know what I can do with the leftovers; pack size would be the main concern for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients Check the current label for wheat and cereals containing gluten. Also look at the nutritional information if sugar content matters to your choice. If I need to consider what my guests can eat, I want to know what’s in the product before serving; this would be the first concern for around 23% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting an individual bar

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as loose sprinkles in a 270 g pack. They’re not the same as a ready-to-eat treat for each person.

    Check the product format and pack size before buying. If you really want a bar, only rely on a product page that explicitly says it’s a bar.

  • Confusing crushed aniseed sprinkles with aniseed sugar strands

    Crushed aniseed sprinkles are made from crushed, sugar-coated aniseed; Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter Anijshagel as sugar strands with aniseed flavour. They’re different product formats.

    Choose aniseed sugar strands only if another aniseed-flavoured topping will work for your treats. If you specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles, check the product name and description.

  • Relying only on online allergen information

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Product information may change between viewing a page and serving the food.

    So check the packaging before use, especially if a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten.
