You want to serve aniseed sprinkles with rusks, cupcakes or other bites, and work out in advance how many packs you’ll need.
Who is this relevant for?
Host planning a colour-themed party
You choose a suitable variety of aniseed sprinkles first, then compare pack sizes so the colour doesn’t end up dictating how much you buy.
Organiser checking allergens
You want to know what ingredients you’re serving your guests. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and Gestampte Muisjes; check the label on the pack you buy.
What should you look for when buying?
Decide what bites you’re serving and how much aniseed sprinkle you want to use on each one. Then compare the pack sizes and colours, and check the ingredients before serving.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight with the number of bites and how much you want to sprinkle on each one. | If I’m putting out a table with several different bites, I want to be able to top things up rather than relying on one pack. Sufficient pack size is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Colour and use | Choose a variety of aniseed sprinkles that suits the food and the look you’re after, then compare the pack sizes. | I want the sprinkles to suit my party table, whether I’m using them on rusks or as decoration. Presentation matters most to around 40% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you’re going to serve. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in the variety I’ve chosen. This check is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a 330 g pack will go round a whole party
The pack size doesn’t tell you how many guests it will serve: that depends on how many bites you’re serving and how generously you sprinkle.
Count the bites and buy several packs if needed. Albert Heijn lists a 15 g serving on the label for its 330 g De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, with 22 servings per pack. Use this as a guide, not as a fixed number of party guests.
-
Choosing based on colour alone
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and Gestampte Muisjes. A colour that suits your theme doesn’t make the ingredients any less important.
Read the label on your chosen variety before serving, and if necessary provide a separate alternative for guests who need to avoid these ingredients.
-
Leaving it until the day of the party to check the packaging
For De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and Gestampte Muisjes, the product information says to store them in a dry place and to check the use-by date on the packaging.
Store the packs somewhere dry, and check the date and the latest label information before putting the sprinkles on the table.
