For a large King’s Day breakfast, choose whole aniseed sprinkles if you want the familiar shape, and work out in advance how many packs you’ll need. Crushed aniseed sprinkles and aniseed sugar strands have a different shape. Check the colour and current label for each variety you choose, especially if ingredients or allergens are important to your guests.

Organisers of a large King’s Day breakfast
If you’re catering for lots of people, work out in advance how many packs you’ll need. Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g for a 330 g pack of De Ruijter Feestmuisjes. Use this as a starting point and adjust the amount to suit what you plan to serve.
Bakers and buffet hosts
The shape of the sprinkles makes a difference on crispbread, yoghurt or cakes. So compare whole aniseed sprinkles with crushed ones; aniseed sugar strands are a separate product with an aniseed flavour.
Shoppers checking ingredients for their guests
For a group breakfast, check the ingredients and allergens on each pack you choose. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat or cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Feestmuisjes; Albert Heijn lists these in De Ruijter Anijshagel too.
What should you look for when buying?
First, decide how much you want to serve and which type of sprinkles is right for it. Then check the colour and label of the exact variety you’re buying.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming Feestmuisjes are orange
The name doesn’t confirm that the sprinkles are the colour you’re looking for in your King’s Day spread.
Before buying, check the colour on the current packaging or product image for the exact variety.
-
Confusing a large order with a bulk pack
Buying a larger quantity isn’t the same as choosing a separate catering-size pack or multipack. Without planning the quantity, you won’t know how many individual packs you need.
Work out the amount you’re planning to serve per guest. For 330 g of De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, you can start with the 22 servings of 15 g listed by Albert Heijn, then adjust the amount to suit your buffet.
-
Assuming aniseed sprinkles are gluten-free
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat or cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Feestmuisjes; Albert Heijn lists these in De Ruijter Anijshagel too.
Read the current label for each variety you choose, and only choose an alternative based on that product’s ingredients and allergen information.
