A 330 g bag of muisjes (aniseed sprinkles) is most useful if you want to serve them separately as a topping for a group. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Feestmuisjes as containing 22 servings of 15 g. Don’t assume the same serving count applies to other varieties, and don’t treat muisjes as a standard ingredient in oliebollen batter or frying oil. If any guests avoid wheat or gluten, always check the label on the pack you’ve chosen.
If you’re baking for guests and want to put out muisjes separately, the pack size can help you plan. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, 330 g, as containing 22 servings of 15 g; that serving count doesn’t apply to every 330 g bag.
If you want a colourful finish rather than an ingredient for the batter, you can serve muisjes alongside your freshly baked oliebollen. Jumbo’s product descriptions mention decorating baked goods, but not adding them to oliebollen batter.
If you or your guests need to avoid wheat or gluten, check the topping you’ve chosen before serving it. Jumbo lists wheat starch in the De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and Gestampte Muisjes it has reviewed.
First, decide whether you want to serve muisjes as a separate topping. Then choose a quantity that suits your group and check that the ingredients are suitable for everyone.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight with the number of people you’re catering for and how much topping you want to offer. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, 330 g, as containing 22 servings of 15 g. | When I’m baking for a group, I want to put out enough topping without buying more than I need. Quantity is the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Use as a topping | Choose muisjes if you want to serve them separately. For the batter, use an oliebollen recipe rather than deep-frying a topping without a recipe. | I want to add a hint of aniseed to the oliebollen after baking and let guests choose for themselves. Around 33% of consumers prioritise decoration. |
| Wheat and gluten | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label, even if you’ve already checked the product details online. | If someone needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know whether the topping is suitable before serving it. For around 17% of consumers, ingredients are the main thing they consider when buying. |
A 330 g bag can help you choose how much to buy for a group, but it doesn’t mean the muisjes are suitable for oliebollen batter or frying oil. Jumbo’s product descriptions list other uses for muisjes.
Buy them if you want to offer a separate topping, and follow an oliebollen recipe for the batter.
Jumbo lists wheat starch in the Feestmuisjes and Gestampte Muisjes it has reviewed. Even a small amount of topping may therefore be unsuitable for a guest who needs to avoid wheat or gluten.
Check the pack label and, if needed, offer a separate topping with ingredients that are suitable for that guest.
Muisjes contain sugar and aniseed. If you sprinkle them over everything in advance, guests can no longer choose whether they want the topping or how much to have.
Put the muisjes out separately and let everyone add as much as they like.
Among the muisjes varieties reviewed are De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, 330 g, and Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g.
This Joybuy option is a 330 g bag for anyone who wants to serve muisjes separately with oliebollen, not use them as an ingredient for frying.

For anyone who wants to serve muisjes separately as a topping with oliebollen.
Pack size: 330 g. Decide how much you need for your group; the serving count for Feestmuisjes doesn’t automatically apply to this variety.
Check the label for wheat and gluten before serving these muisjes to guests who need to avoid these ingredients.
No. Muisjes are an optional topping, not an essential ingredient in oliebollen batter. You can serve them separately after baking, so guests can decide for themselves whether they want to add them.
Seal the bag tightly after use, store the muisjes in a dry place and follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack for your variety.
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must be shown on the label of pre-packed food. Read the current label on the bag you buy, especially if a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten.
