Choose a 330 g coloured pack if presentation and having enough to share with visitors are your priorities. If you need fewer sprinkles, the 270 g pack of crushed sprinkles may be a better fit. Check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging for each variety, especially if anyone needs to avoid wheat or gluten.
You're looking for a colour to suit the occasion and want to have enough to share. De Ruijter's blue and white and pink and white varieties are available in 330 g packs; work out how much you'll need for your guests.
You're weighing up whether you can use a 330 g pack or would prefer the 270 g crushed variety. How much you have left over matters just as much as what you serve on the day.
If wheat or gluten needs to be avoided, check the current label before choosing by colour or pack size. The De Ruijter varieties reviewed list wheat and cereals containing gluten.
First, decide how many sprinkles you want to serve and whether the colour matters. Then check the packaging for ingredients and allergens; choosing a different colour doesn't mean you can skip that check.
