Take aniseed sprinkles on a walk as a sweet topping for bread or another base you already have with you, rather than as a replacement for a separate snack. According to Joybuy’s product information, De Ruijter Pink Muisjes contain 79 g of sugars per 100 g and wheat starch. Check the exact packaging, take a small portion and remember to bring a drink, too.
Who is this option suitable for?
Walkers looking for a sweet addition
You’re already taking bread, crackers or another base with you and want to add a small portion of aniseed sprinkles. A clean, dry, securely sealed container is more practical for that portion than taking the whole box.
People who plan to use the rest at home
You only need a little topping for one walk. So, before buying, consider whether you’ll use the rest of the pack at home.
Walkers who need to avoid wheat
The pink and blue-and-white De Ruijter sprinkles reviewed contain wheat. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact packaging before choosing a variety.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you want a topping for food you’re taking with you or would prefer a bar as a separate snack. Then check the ingredients and how much you’ll need while you’re out.

| Food and drink on the go |

Common mistakes
-
Thinking of aniseed sprinkles as a complete walking snack
The sprinkles reviewed are sold as a topping and bread spread. The nutritional information for De Ruijter Pink Muisjes doesn’t make them a substitute for other food and drink on a walk.
Take them as a small addition to food you already have with you, and plan your drinks separately.
-
Taking the whole pack on a single walk
The packs reviewed contain several portions, so you don’t need to treat the whole box as one walking portion.
Take only what you plan to use, and securely seal both the portion you take with you and the pack you leave at home.
-
Guessing allergens from the colour
The pink and blue-and-white De Ruijter sprinkles reviewed contain wheat. The colour or product name alone doesn’t tell you what the ingredients are.
Check the current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging for every variety.

Frequently asked questions
Are aniseed sprinkles a snack in their own right for a long walk?
It’s best to think of aniseed sprinkles as a topping rather than your only food for a long walk. De Ruijter Pink Muisjes are sold as a topping and, according to Joybuy, contain 92 g of carbohydrates and 79 g of sugars per 100 g. Think about what else you’ll eat and drink, too.
Are De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles gluten-free?
The pink and blue-and-white varieties reviewed contain wheat, so they aren’t suitable if you need to avoid wheat or gluten. For any other variety, check the allergen information on the exact packaging rather than guessing what’s in it from the colour.
How can I take a small portion of aniseed sprinkles with me?
Put the portion in a clean, dry, securely sealed container or bag. Store the rest according to the instructions on the packaging, and seal it securely again after use.
