For coffee and cake with several guests, a 330 g box of aniseed sprinkles is a practical option to share; PLUS describes De Ruijter’s blue and white variety as making around 22 servings. A box is not the same as a multipack of individual portions for lunchboxes, so check that the pack really does contain individually portioned aniseed sprinkles. Then choose the colour to suit your presentation, and check the label on the pack you buy if you have food allergies.
For a new-baby visit or coffee and cake, you may want to put out a single box for several guests to share. PLUS describes De Ruijter’s 330 g blue and white box as making around 22 servings; how much you need depends on how generously you sprinkle them.
Colour matters when you’re decorating cakes, cupcakes or biscuits. PLUS describes De Ruijter’s celebration sprinkles as suitable for decorating cupcakes, cakes and biscuits, among other treats.
You want to take aniseed sprinkles with you without having to portion them out of a box yourself. If you’re considering a multipack, check both the number of individual portions and the product type: an assortment of small packs of spreadable toppings isn’t automatically a multipack of aniseed sprinkles.
First decide whether you want a box to share or individual portions of aniseed sprinkles; then choose a colour to suit what you’re serving.
