If you want to serve traditional Dutch rusks topped with aniseed sprinkles to a large group, plan the quantity using several consumer packs of your chosen variety. A personalised colour option is a good choice when presentation is the priority. A product called ‘muisjes’ but sold as sweets is not necessarily the same as the aniseed sprinkles traditionally served on rusks. Check the ingredients, allergens and quantity per pack for every option.
When you have lots of guests, the number of times you’ll be serving, the quantity in each pack and the space you have to store spare packs in a dry place all matter. PLUS describes its 330 g pack of De Ruijter pink and white aniseed sprinkles as providing around 22 portions; how many packs you need will depend on how you serve them.
For a baby shower, new baby celebration table or gift display, your chosen colour may matter more than a standard colour combination. If you opt for a personalised colour, also compare the pack size with the number of portions you plan to serve.
If you’re offering aniseed sprinkles to others, you’ll need the latest ingredients and allergen information for the variety you choose. This is especially important when the original packaging isn’t next to the buffet or counter.
First, decide whether you’re looking for sugared aniseed seeds to serve on rusks or a different kind of sweet. Then compare the quantity you need, the look you want and the product information for your chosen variety.
