Families having breakfast together on the go
If you’re taking bread, crispbread or yoghurt with you, you can use aniseed sprinkles as a topping during a break. You’ll also need a suitable way to serve them.
Who would find a box of aniseed sprinkles useful?
Organisers of a small celebration
For a visit to meet a new baby or another occasion, a consumer-sized pack could be just right if you want to share aniseed sprinkles with a group but don’t need a 1 kg bag.
Shoppers who want to check the label
If you want to check the ingredients, allergens or sugar content, look at the nutritional information for the specific variety before you set off, and check the label on the pack.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how you’ll serve the aniseed sprinkles and how many people will be eating them. Then compare the pack size and the information on the label.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount to share | Compare the net weight and any portion information. According to PLUS, De Ruijter’s 330 g pink-and-white box contains around 22 portions. | I want to make crispbread for several people during a trip or visit, without accidentally choosing a 1 kg bag of a different product. For around 44% of consumers, having an amount they can share is the top priority. |
| Using them on the go | Choose between regular and crushed aniseed sprinkles, and think about what you’ll be sprinkling them on. Take them in a resealable pack and store them somewhere dry. | During a break, I want to be able to use the sprinkles on bread or yoghurt and have a suitable opportunity to serve them. How they’re used matters most to around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and nutritional value | For your chosen variety, check the ingredients, allergens and sugar content in the nutritional table per 100 g. Also check the information per portion if provided. | If I need to keep an eye on wheat or sugar, I want to be able to check the pack before setting off. For around 23% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming all products called ‘muisjes’ are the same
A 1 kg bag with that name may not contain aniseed sprinkles for bread. For example, Snoepstunt describes Joris Muisjes 1 kg as gummy sweets.
Check the product type, ingredients and pack size before comparing a 1 kg bag with a box of aniseed sprinkles.
-
Looking only at the pack weight
A bigger box won’t necessarily give you a snack you can eat on its own while you’re travelling: if you’re using aniseed sprinkles as a topping, you’ll also need bread, crispbread, yoghurt or another base.
Plan your meal first, then choose the quantity. Take the sprinkles in a sealed pack and store them somewhere dry.
-
Waiting until you’ve set off to read the label
The De Ruijter pink-and-white variety and Feestmuisjes included in this review list wheat among their ingredients. Their product information also states that they contain 79 g of sugar per 100 g.
Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for the variety you’re buying, and read the current label on the pack too.

Frequently asked questions
Can you eat aniseed sprinkles on their own as a road-trip snack?
The De Ruijter sprinkles included in this review are mainly sold as a topping or spread, rather than as a snack in their own right. Take bread, crispbread or yoghurt with you, for example, if you want to serve them during a break.
Which box should you choose to share aniseed sprinkles with a group?
A 330 g box is an option for sharing: PLUS states that De Ruijter’s pink-and-white variety contains around 22 portions. Choose the 270 g box if you specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles, and match the quantity to what you plan to serve.
Do De Ruijter sprinkles contain wheat?
The pink-and-white variety and Feestmuisjes included in this review list wheat starch among their ingredients. Always check the current allergen information on the pack for the variety you’re buying.
How should you take aniseed sprinkles with you when travelling?
Store the sprinkles somewhere dry and reseal the pack after use. Keep them separate from wet shopping during your journey so you can store them as directed.
