If you want to have a small amount of aniseed sprinkles while gaming, De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles give you a useful starting point: Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving. This serving size doesn’t mean they come in individually wrapped mini portions; you’ll need to measure them out yourself. Whole aniseed sprinkles and party sprinkles are best suited as toppings to share, while a different snack makes more sense if you’re not specifically looking for aniseed sprinkles.
Who are aniseed sprinkles handy for?
Gamers who want to portion them out in advance
If you’d rather not sprinkle them straight from the box while you play, measure out an amount beforehand and put it in a small bowl. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles, which you’ll need to measure out yourself.
Gamers who want to share a topping
For a gaming night when you’re serving rusks, yoghurt or a homemade snack, whole aniseed sprinkles or party sprinkles make a sweet, colourful addition. A listed serving size doesn’t mean they come in a ready-to-eat mini pack.

Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a small listed serving for a mini pack
Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles, but the box contains 270 g. The serving size doesn’t mean that each portion is individually wrapped.
Measure out what you want to use before gaming and set out just that amount.
-
Automatically choosing a topping as a snack
Aniseed sprinkles are a sweet topping. If you’re mainly looking for something to eat between meals, it’s worth considering not only the serving size, but also the nutritional information and the kind of snack you want.
Use aniseed sprinkles as a topping if you like. Voedingscentrum lists fruit, snack vegetables, nuts and bread among other examples of snacks.
-
Relying on allergen information from an older pack
Wheat and gluten-containing cereals are listed for the De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles reviewed. Information on a product page you looked at earlier is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you’re using.
Before using them, check the ingredients and allergen information on that pack.
