If you want a ready-to-eat bar for a late-night snack, the De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles discussed here aren’t what you’re looking for: Albert Heijn lists them as a topping in 270 g or 330 g packs. If you already have yoghurt, bread or rusks at home, you can use the sprinkles as a topping and set aside a portion first. Check the ingredients and allergen information for your chosen variety, too.
You want a little something late in the evening, but don’t want to eat straight from a larger pack. Albert Heijn lists 270 g and 330 g packs; putting some sprinkles in a small bowl beforehand is a better fit for a single snack than treating the whole pack as an individual portion.
You’re looking for something to sprinkle over a snack, not a snack bar in its own right. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product descriptions mention yoghurt, bread and rusks as some of the ways to use them.
You want a striking blue-and-white topping or a colourful party variety. This distinction is most useful when presentation matters more to you than having an individually wrapped snack.
First decide whether you want a ready-to-eat bar or aniseed sprinkles to add to something you’re already going to eat. If you choose sprinkles, consider the portion and form first, then the colour.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and pack | Check the pack size and any portion information. A pack of sprinkles isn’t a single bar. | If I just want a little something for tonight, I want to set aside the amount myself rather than eat from the pack. Around 44% of consumers would put portion control first. |
| Form and use | Check whether you want crushed or whole aniseed sprinkles, and what you’ll be sprinkling them over. | I already have yoghurt, bread or rusks and want a topping to go with my snack. For around 33% of consumers, this would be the main factor in their choice. |
| Colour and variety | Check the variety name and colours, as well as the ingredients for that variety. | For a themed snack, I mainly want the sprinkles to look the part. For around 23% of consumers, presentation would be the main reason for their choice. |
The varieties described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo are sprinkles or toppings. To use them as a topping, you’ll also need something to sprinkle them over, such as yoghurt, bread or rusks.
If you want a single individually wrapped bar, look in a different product category. Choose aniseed sprinkles when you want to add something to a snack you already have.
A 270 g or 330 g pack isn’t the same as a portion. Jumbo lists 12 g of sugar per 15 g portion for De Ruijter Blue and White Aniseed Sprinkles; the amount you use determines how much ends up on your snack.
Put the amount you want in a small bowl first, then put the pack away.
For its blue-and-white and crushed varieties, Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. A different colour won’t tell you which ingredients or allergens a variety contains.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the exact variety you choose.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter varieties that include crushed, blue-and-white and party aniseed sprinkles. These are sprinkles or toppings, not individual snack bars.
This Joybuy pick is a pack of blue-and-white aniseed sprinkles to add to yoghurt, bread or rusks, for example. If you’re looking for a bar you can eat straight away as an individual portion, this pack isn’t the right choice.
