Don’t automatically buy a multipack for oliebollen topped with crushed aniseed sprinkles: Boodschappen.nl’s recipe for 20 people uses 2 tablespoons in the batter and 3 tablespoons as a topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in 270 g packs, but without knowing how much a tablespoon weighs, you can’t tell whether one pack will be enough for your portions. Choose this aniseed and orange version only if the flavour suits your guests. The listed ingredients include wheat, so this product isn’t suitable if gluten-free food is essential.
You want to work out how much you need for the batter and topping based on the number of people eating before buying extra packs. Boodschappen.nl’s recipe calls for a total of 5 tablespoons of crushed aniseed sprinkles for 20 people.
You’re looking for a deliberate alternative to icing sugar. Boodschappen.nl adds crushed aniseed sprinkles to the batter and uses them with orange zest as a topping.

| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the amount in your recipe with the pack’s net weight; don’t assume how many tablespoons it contains. | I’m making oliebollen for a group and want enough for the batter and topping without buying unnecessary extra packs. The amount needed is the top priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Wheat and gluten | Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.

This is the main buying concern for around 29% of consumers. |
| Flavour and sweetness | Consider whether the sweet aniseed flavour and orange zest will suit your guests; check the nutritional information if you want to take sugar content into account. | I want a distinctive aniseed and orange version, but not everyone will enjoy this topping. Flavour and sweetness matter most to around 21% of consumers. |
| Pack format | Check the net weight and the number of individual packs rather than relying on the search term ‘multipack’. | I want to know whether I’m buying one pack or several separate packs to keep for later. The pack format is the first consideration for around 14% of consumers. |
