For rusks topped with aniseed sprinkles for a group, a 330 g pack is a useful starting point. Work out how much you need based on the number of rusks and how generously you want to top them. Choose a colour to suit the occasion, or go for crushed sprinkles if you prefer that texture. For all varieties, check the latest packaging for ingredients and allergen information.
Who are these aniseed sprinkles for?
Host of a new-baby celebration or baby shower
If you’re making rusks topped with aniseed sprinkles for a group, it helps to work out the number of rusks and how much topping you want on each one in advance. Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes 330 g. This is a useful starting point for your calculations, not a set number of topped rusks.
Anyone choosing a particular colour
Pink-and-white, blue-and-white and multicoloured party sprinkles each create a different look. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list these De Ruijter varieties in 330 g packs. Choose the colour you’d like for the occasion.
Anyone checking ingredients and allergens
If you’re buying for guests with food allergies, check the current packaging before serving. Wheat and gluten are listed for the De Ruijter varieties described here; Voedingscentrum stresses the importance of checking the allergen information on the label.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how many rusks you want to serve. Then choose the colour or texture, and check the label if ingredients or allergens matter to your guests.

What to check |
Who it matters most to |

Common mistakes
-
Assuming 330 g will top a set number of rusks
The 22 servings of 15 g listed by Albert Heijn for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes 330 g don’t tell you how many rusks it will cover. That depends on how much you use on each one.
Count your guests and the number of rusks you plan to serve per person, and use the serving information as a guide only.
-
Choosing by colour alone
Wheat and gluten are listed for the De Ruijter colour varieties described here. Other ingredients may also vary between varieties.
Check the ingredients and allergen list on the packaging, especially if you’re serving guests with a food allergy.
-
Overlooking the net weight of crushed sprinkles
The crushed variety described here contains 270 g, while the party and colour varieties mentioned contain 330 g. The same pack format doesn’t necessarily mean the same quantity.
Compare the net weight, then choose the texture you want.
-
Not sealing an opened pack of rusks properly
Rusks can go soft or stale once opened, even if you only add the sprinkles just before serving.
Keep opened rusks tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place. Voedingscentrum recommends keeping opened rusks in a kitchen cupboard for up to a month.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell whether 330 g of aniseed sprinkles will be enough for my guests?
Work it out based on the number of rusks you want to serve and how much you’ll use on each one. Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes 330 g, but a serving size on the label doesn’t equal one topped rusk.
Which sprinkles should I choose if I don’t want pink or blue?
De Ruijter Feestmuisjes are a multicoloured option if you don’t want a pink-and-white or blue-and-white display. Check the weight and ingredients of your chosen variety too.
Can I serve these sprinkles to someone who avoids wheat or gluten?
The De Ruijter party, colour and crushed varieties described here list wheat and gluten. If someone has a food allergy, always check the latest allergen information on the packaging before serving.
How should I store aniseed sprinkles and opened rusks?
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging for the sprinkles. Keep opened rusks tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place; Voedingscentrum recommends storing opened rusks in a kitchen cupboard for up to a month.
