For a small Valentine’s treat, you could use aniseed sprinkles, but the products listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo come in 270 g or 330 g boxes, not individual bars. Compare the net weight with how much you plan to use, consider a pink-and-white variety for presentation, and check the latest label if anyone has allergies.
You want to avoid having lots left over after making a single Valentine’s treat. So compare the contents of a box with how much you need for sprinkling: Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the aniseed sprinkles mentioned here in 270 g and 330 g packs.
You’re looking for aniseed sprinkles in colours that suit your presentation. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Roze en witte muisjes; PLUS describes Feestmuisjes as sprinkles that can also be used as a topping.
You need the latest ingredients and allergen information before serving the sprinkles. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for pre-packed foods must appear on the label.
First decide how much you want to use. Then choose a variety to suit your presentation and read the latest pack information before serving.

An estimated 50% of consumers put the quantity they need first. |

The aniseed sprinkles listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo in the varieties mentioned come in 270 g or 330 g boxes. A box of sprinkles is not the same as an individual snack or portion.
Check the specific product page for the net weight and whether individual portions are explicitly mentioned.
A pink-and-white colour scheme might suit your presentation, but the name Feestmuisjes doesn’t mean it comes in special Valentine’s packaging or tell you anything about the ingredients.
Choose a variety to suit the look you want, then check the contents and label separately.
Albert Heijn points out that ingredients and allergen information can change. So a previous purchase doesn’t necessarily tell you what’s on the pack you’re using now.
Read the latest label again before serving, especially if anyone needs to avoid allergens.
