If you’re looking for something sweet to keep at the festival campsite, aniseed sprinkles could be suitable if the packaging says to store them in a dry place. If you’re buying for a group, always check the current label for ingredients and allergens. If you’re looking to give a box of chocolates as a gift, aniseed sprinkles are a different product, so make sure you distinguish between the two first.
