Choose aniseed sprinkles if you’re looking for a sweet topping for rusks, bread, yoghurt or cupcakes. If you’re after a chocolate gift, consider a chocolate box separately rather than treating it as a larger pack of sprinkles. When sharing with a large family, consider the product format you need, the net weight and the ingredients of the variant you choose. For example, Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles in 270 g and 330 g packs, but the weight alone won’t tell you whether a pack suits the occasion.
First, decide whether you’re looking for sprinkles to share or a chocolate gift. Then compare packs of the product type you want and check the ingredients of the variant you choose.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight and the number of individual packs, but only within the same product type. | If we’re sharing aniseed sprinkles on several occasions, I want to know how much we’ll have in total. For around 42% of consumers, having enough would be the first consideration. |
| Product format | Check whether it’s aniseed sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles or a chocolate box intended as a gift. | I wouldn’t want to buy sprinkles as a gift, while a chocolate box won’t replace the sprinkles for topping rusks. For around 33% of consumers, choosing the right product format would come first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings for the variant you choose. | If someone sharing it needs to avoid an ingredient, I want to know exactly what’s in that pack. For around 25% of consumers, the ingredients would be their main concern. |
Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter Feestmuisjes as sugar-coated aniseed. Chocolate flakes and chocolate sprinkles are different types of topping, while a chocolate box serves a different purpose altogether.
Decide whether you want something to put on food or to give as a gift, then compare products within that category.
