If you want proper Dutch aniseed sprinkles in a smaller pack for the start of school, you can choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes (Crushed Muisjes), 270 g, and measure out the portions yourself. Jumbo and PLUS also list regular aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs. If pre-portioned bags matter more than the type of product, De Ruijter Kleintjes, with eight portions, is an alternative made with chocolate sprinkles and flakes—not mini aniseed sprinkles. Check the current label for every product you choose, especially if allergens are a concern.
If you want to pack a pre-measured portion, individual bags are practical. Albert Heijn lists eight portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes; this topping consists of chocolate sprinkles and flakes, not aniseed sprinkles.
If you want to stick with aniseed sprinkles, you can measure out a portion at home from a pack. Jumbo and PLUS list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes (Crushed Muisjes) in 270 g packs and regular aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs.
Choosing a different colour or type of topping means checking the label again. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Pink and White Muisjes, 330 g.
First decide whether you want to stick with proper aniseed sprinkles or mainly need individual portions for school. Then check the pack size and the label for the specific variety you’re choosing.

For anyone who wants to portion out proper aniseed sprinkles themselves for the start of school. The pack contains 330 g; check the information on the pack you’ve bought for allergen details.
No. De Ruijter Kleintjes consists of portioned chocolate sprinkles and flakes, not aniseed sprinkles. For proper aniseed sprinkles, Jumbo and PLUS list 270 g or 330 g packs from which you can measure out a portion yourself.
The 270 g packs of Gestampte Muisjes (Crushed Muisjes) are lighter than the 330 g packs of regular aniseed sprinkles discussed here, according to product listings from PLUS and Jumbo. A smaller pack does not mean the portions are individually measured out for you.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label for your chosen variety. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Pink and White Muisjes; don’t assume that another variety has the same ingredients.
Seal the pack securely again after measuring out a portion, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging you’ve bought. That way, you can take another portion from the same pack the next time you need one for school.
