If you’re decorating several treats for a Halloween party, a 330 g box of De Ruijter Feestmuisjes is one option; Albert Heijn lists 22 portions of 15 g for this product. If you’d prefer a smaller amount of crushed aniseed sprinkles, PLUS sells a 270 g box. Neither box is a multipack of individually wrapped portions, so check this distinction if you want to hand them out or put them in lunchboxes.
Which pack is right for you?
Party organisers decorating treats
If you want to sprinkle aniseed sprinkles over several treats, a 330 g box could be a good fit. Albert Heijn lists this size for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and suggests using them on items such as crispbreads and cupcakes.
Households that use smaller amounts
Would you mainly use aniseed sprinkles on bread, crispbreads or yoghurt, and prefer to buy a smaller box? PLUS lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g box.
Shoppers looking for individual portions
If you’re packing them to take away or handing them out, check whether the portions are individually wrapped. Albert Heijn lists eight portions of De Ruijter Kleintjes, but these contain chocolate sprinkles and chocolate flakes, not aniseed sprinkles.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to sprinkle from one box or need individual portions. Then think about how much you’ll need and check the ingredients of the complete treat.

What to check before buying |
Who it matters to |
| Amount for your treats |
Compare the net weight with the number of treats and how much you want to sprinkle on each one. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 15 g for its 330 g box of Feestmuisjes. |
If I’m decorating several treats, I want enough topping without treating the serving size as a fixed amount for each one. Around 44% of shoppers prioritise having enough aniseed sprinkles for a group. |
| Ingredients and allergens |
Read the current label on the aniseed sprinkles and on the other items you’re using. PLUS lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Feestmuisjes. |
When preparing treats for guests, I want to know what each item contains before handing anything out. Around 33% of shoppers put this check first. |
| Individual portions |
Check whether each portion is sealed separately and whether the product actually contains aniseed sprinkles. A stated serving size on a box doesn’t mean the contents are individually wrapped. |
If I’m putting something in lunchboxes or handing it out to each person, I don’t want to have to portion it out from a large box myself. Individual portions are the top priority for around 23% of shoppers. |
Common mistakes
-
Confusing a serving size with a multipack
Albert Heijn lists 22 portions of 15 g in a 330 g box of Feestmuisjes. This tells you the weight of one reference portion, not that the box contains 22 sachets.
If you want to hand out individual portions, check the actual packaging to see whether it states the number of separately sealed portions.
-
Going by the box weight alone
The number of treats you can decorate with one box depends on how much aniseed sprinkle topping you use on each one.
Count your treats first and decide how much you want to sprinkle on each. Use the stated serving size as a rough guide at most.
-
Reading only the aniseed sprinkles label
PLUS lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in Feestmuisjes. Crispbreads, cupcakes and other parts of the treat have their own ingredients too.
Before handing out the treats, check the current labels of all the products you’ve used. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority notes that allergens must be listed in the ingredients of prepacked foods.
Brand to consider
De Ruijter
Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list several types of De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles, including 330 g Feestmuisjes and 270 g Gestampte Muisjes.
- The listed varieties give you a choice between whole and crushed aniseed sprinkles, as well as 330 g and 270 g boxes.
- A box with a stated serving size isn’t automatically a pack of individual portions. PLUS also lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in Feestmuisjes, so check the current label.
