Who is this choice relevant to?

People planning a new-baby visit or family gathering

If you’re preparing rusks or other snacks for several guests, you’ll want to choose the colour and quantity of aniseed sprinkles to suit your serving plans.

Large families planning their supplies

For them, it matters how much is in each pack and whether that suits the way the family serves it. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 15 g for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes 330 g.

Shoppers with a preference for a particular colour or shape

Multicoloured party sprinkles, a traditional colour combination and crushed aniseed sprinkles all suit different presentations. The look or texture you want can therefore help you decide.

What should you consider when choosing?

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this most important for?
Plenty in the pack Compare the 330 g and 270 g pack sizes with the number of rusks or other servings you want to prepare. Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g specifically for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes 330 g. If I’m serving a large family and guests, I want to know whether one pack will be enough. Around 50% of consumers prioritise having plenty in the pack.
Colour and occasion Choose your preferred colour and check that the same variety is in your order; don’t assume that a pink pack contains pink-and-white sprinkles. For a new-baby visit, I want the sprinkles to match my chosen colour theme. For around 30% of consumers, appearance is the first thing they consider.
Shape and label Compare whole and crushed sprinkles for the way you plan to use them. If it matters to your guests, read the ingredients and allergen information on the latest pack. For rusks or yoghurt, I want to choose a suitable texture and know what I’m serving. Around 20% of consumers prioritise shape and label information.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘sharing bag’ means a set pack size

    A serving size can help you plan, but it doesn’t tell you how many guests you can serve. Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes 330 g; the amount you use on each rusk or cake may vary.

    Count what you plan to serve and decide how much you want to sprinkle on each item. Then work out whether you’ll need more than one pack.

  • Treating all aniseed sprinkles as the same variety

    Party sprinkles, sprinkles in a traditional colour combination and crushed sprinkles differ in appearance or texture. So even a pack of the right size may not suit your plans.

    Choose your preferred colour and texture first, then compare the pack sizes of the varieties you’re considering.

  • Relying on the online product title when someone has an allergy

    PLUS lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white sprinkles it reviewed. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products.

    Read the latest label on the variety you’re actually serving, especially if anyone has a relevant dietary requirement.

  • Forgetting what you’ll serve them on

    For a new-baby celebration, aniseed sprinkles are often served on rusks; ALDI Netherlands also recommends this combination. Buying sprinkles alone won’t complete your serving plan.

    Add rusks, or whatever base you plan to use, to your shopping list at the same time as the sprinkles.

    If you forget the base you’ve chosen, you may need to make an extra trip to the shops or serve the sprinkles another way on the day.

Frequently asked questions

Is 330 g of aniseed sprinkles enough for a large family or a new-baby visit?

Not necessarily. Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes 330 g, but how much you use depends on what you’re serving and how generously you serve it. Count the servings you’re planning before deciding how many packs to buy.

Which sprinkles should I choose if I don’t want a traditional new-baby colour?

De Ruijter’s multicoloured Feestmuisjes are one option if you don’t want a pink-and-white or blue-and-white theme. Also check that the pack size and texture suit what you plan to serve.

What should I look out for if someone has a wheat or gluten allergy?

Read the latest label on the specific pack before serving the sprinkles. PLUS lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white sprinkles it reviewed. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products appears on the label. Don’t assume another variety has the same ingredients.

How should I store an opened pack of aniseed sprinkles?

Follow the storage advice on the pack. For the De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white sprinkles it reviewed, PLUS says to store them in a dry place. Check the pack for the best-before date and storage advice for your variety.
