Choose the variety and pack size according to what you actually plan to serve. A 330 g pack may work if you’re using aniseed sprinkles across several buffet items, while a 270 g option may suit you if you’re specifically looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles. Colour alone won’t tell you how much you need or whether a product is suitable for your guests, so check the current label before serving.
Are you using aniseed sprinkles on more than one platter, or serving them with both bread and dessert? First, work out how much you want to put out. Albert Heijn and PLUS list 270 g and 330 g packs for the varieties discussed here, but those weights don’t indicate how many portions you’ll get.
If the topping is a visible part of your presentation, consider both the colour and the product variety. PLUS lists De Ruijter Feestmuisjes for use on bread and yoghurt, among other things. Choose the variety that suits what you’re actually serving.
If a guest has a relevant allergy or dietary requirement, the packaging for the variety you choose is what matters. The ingredients listed by PLUS for Feestmuisjes include wheat starch; don’t assume other aniseed sprinkles have the same ingredients.
First decide which buffet items you’ll serve with aniseed sprinkles and how much you want to use. Then choose a variety and check the label for the guests you’re serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and leftovers | Compare the net weight of 270 g or 330 g with the number of items you want to serve with aniseed sprinkles. | If I’m putting out several platters, I want enough without having a large amount left over. For around 33% of consumers, getting the quantity right is the top priority. |
| Using them across several items | Check whether the variety you choose suits the bread, yoghurt or desserts you’re planning to serve. | I want to use one topping across different items on the buffet rather than choosing something different for each one. This versatility is the top priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Colour and variety | Check the full product name: Feestmuisjes, pink and white aniseed sprinkles, and crushed aniseed sprinkles are different varieties. | For a themed table, I want to choose a particular colour or the crushed variety deliberately. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this choice. |
| Label information | Read the ingredients, allergen information, best-before date and storage instructions on the current packaging. | If I need to consider what my guests can eat, I read the label before serving the aniseed sprinkles. For around 20% of consumers, checking this information is their main concern when buying. |
PLUS lists 270 g packs of De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles and 330 g packs of Feestmuisjes. A larger pack is only useful if you plan to use that amount on the buffet or later.
Make a note of the bread, yoghurt and dessert items you want to top with aniseed sprinkles, then choose your pack size.
A colour may suit your table, but it won’t tell you which variety is right for the dishes you’ve planned. PLUS lists several ways to use Feestmuisjes, including on bread and yoghurt.
First decide what you’ll serve the aniseed sprinkles with, then choose whether a festive colour, a pink-and-white variety or the crushed version suits your plans.
The Feestmuisjes listed by PLUS contain wheat starch. Don’t assume the ingredients are the same for other aniseed sprinkles without checking the label.
Read the packaging for every variety you choose, and keep the allergen information to hand when serving your guests.
Albert Heijn and PLUS list De Ruijter varieties including Feestmuisjes, pink and white aniseed sprinkles, and crushed aniseed sprinkles. Compare the individual products by variety and pack size, not by brand name alone.
These two 330 g packs are options if you’re looking for aniseed sprinkles to use across several items on your Boxing Day buffet. Choose between the varieties to suit your presentation, and check the label before serving them to your guests.

Choose based on the variety you want and how much you expect to use, not just the pack weight. PLUS lists 270 g packs of De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles and 330 g packs of Feestmuisjes; a pack’s weight doesn’t tell you how many guests or portions it will serve.
Yes. PLUS also lists De Ruijter Feestmuisjes for use on yoghurt and quark, among other things. Choose this variety for several uses if those items are actually on your buffet.
Check the allergen information on the current packaging of every variety you serve. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are listed on food labels. The ingredients listed by PLUS for Feestmuisjes include wheat starch, but this doesn’t tell you what another variety contains.
Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack you’ve bought. PLUS product information says to store De Ruijter Feestmuisjes in a dry place; always check the label for any other variety.
