Planning a Valentine’s breakfast

You want to share aniseed sprinkles across several rusks or sweet treats. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 330 g boxes of Feestmuisjes and pink and white aniseed sprinkles; work out how much you need based on your plans.

Baking with colour in mind

You’re using aniseed sprinkles as a finishing touch and choosing between a colourful celebration mix and pink and white. PLUS suggests using Feestmuisjes on cupcakes, cakes and biscuits.

Checking the ingredients

You’re serving others and want to know what’s in the variety you choose. PLUS lists wheat and gluten in the product information for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes; check the current label for each variety.

What should you look for when choosing?

For a Valentine’s occasion to share, first decide on the look and quantity you want, then check the label of the exact variety you plan to serve.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity Compare the net weight of the exact variety. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 330 g boxes; PLUS also lists 270 g Gestampte Muisjes. If I want to share aniseed sprinkles across several rusks and treats, I need to know whether one box will be enough. For around 40% of consumers, having enough in the pack is the deciding factor.
Colour and use Choose between a colourful celebration mix and pink and white. Check the variety on the packaging rather than relying on a general product photo. For a pink-and-white table setting, I want the topping to suit the colour scheme, even if a celebration mix offers more variety. Around 30% of consumers prioritise the overall look.
Ingredients and portions Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety, and compare the nutritional information per 100 g or per portion if needed. When I’m serving others, I want to know what the aniseed sprinkles contain and how much I’ll use on each treat. For around 30% of consumers, checking this is the most important factor.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a bag because you searched for a sharing bag

    A search term doesn’t tell you how a product is packaged: Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list the larger varieties discussed here in 270 g or 330 g boxes.

    If you specifically want a bag, check both the net weight and the packaging on the product page.

  • Assuming the colour varieties are interchangeable

    A colourful celebration mix looks different on cakes or rusks from pink and white aniseed sprinkles.

    First decide which look will suit your Valentine’s table, then compare the sizes available.

  • Relying on out-of-date allergen information

    PLUS lists wheat and gluten in the product information for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes. Don’t assume the same information applies to every other variety.

    Before buying and serving, check the current label on the exact pack, especially if someone needs to avoid certain ingredients.

  • Not thinking about leftovers

    A 330 g box may be more than you need for one small occasion.

    Choose a quantity that suits your plans. Seal an opened pack well and store it in a dry place, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
