Who are aniseed sprinkles suitable for on the party table?

Halloween bakers and treat-makers

Want to decorate cupcakes, cakes or biscuits with aniseed sprinkles? PLUS recommends these uses for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes. Think ahead about whether the colours will suit your treats.

Hosts serving a shared snack table

If you’re serving sprinkles on rusks or as a topping for several treats, how much you use on each one will determine how many packs you need. The 330 g pack gives you a starting point for working this out in advance.

Shoppers mindful of wheat and gluten

Jumbo lists wheat starch in Feestmuisjes and wheat and cereals containing gluten in the pink and white variety. Check the label on the pack you’re serving and, if needed, provide a suitable alternative.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how you’ll serve the sprinkles: a light topping on rusks calls for a different amount from generously decorated cupcakes.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Pack size Compare the pack size with the number of treats and how much you’ll use on each one. The Feestmuisjes pack contains 330 g. If I’m making several treats per guest, I want to know whether one pack will be enough. Around 33% of consumers put the quantity they need first.
Appearance and use Choose a colour variety to suit your treats and check the suggested uses. PLUS recommends Feestmuisjes for cupcakes, cakes and biscuits. For my decorated bakes, the main thing is how the sprinkles look on the table. Appearance is the first concern for around 45% of consumers.
Ingredients and labelling Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you buy. Jumbo lists wheat in Feestmuisjes and wheat and cereals containing gluten in the pink and white variety. If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know what I can offer before serving. This is the top priority for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes when choosing

  • Assuming a 330 g pack makes a fixed number of party portions

    A 15 g serving is listed for Feestmuisjes, but that isn’t a set amount for a cupcake or rusk.

    Count your treats and decide how much you want to sprinkle on each one before choosing how many packs to buy.

    If you’re decorating generously or making several treats per guest, you may need more than one pack.

  • Choosing based on colour alone

    The colour may suit your Halloween display, but it won’t tell you how many sprinkles you’ll need for the treats you have planned.

    First decide how you’ll serve them and how much you need; then choose the colour variety you want to use.

  • Assuming aniseed sprinkles are wheat-free

    Jumbo lists wheat starch in Feestmuisjes and wheat and cereals containing gluten in the pink and white variety.

    Read the label on the variety you buy and, if needed, offer a suitable alternative to guests who need to avoid wheat or gluten.

  • Relying on outdated product information online

    Albert Heijn notes that ingredient, nutritional and allergy information may change.

    Just before serving, check the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage instructions on the physical pack.
