If you want to take a pre-measured amount for each holiday breakfast and enjoy a bit of variety, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar could be a good fit. However, it’s a mix of chocolate flakes, sprinkles and fruit sprinkles, not a pack containing flakes alone. If you prefer one particular type of chocolate flake, a standard pack is a better option, provided you’re happy to portion it yourself and can keep it dry once opened.
You don’t want to keep spooning from an opened pack, and you’re happy with a variety of toppings. De Ruijter Kleintjes comes in individual portions, but it contains more than just chocolate flakes. Check that you’re happy to use all the varieties in the mix.
If you only want white, milk or dark chocolate flakes, a standard pack means you won’t also be taking sprinkles or fruit sprinkles. You’ll need to portion out the amount you want yourself and store the rest of the pack.
With a mixed pack, it’s important to check every variety. Jumbo lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya, lactose and wheat among the allergens in De Ruijter Kleintjes. Before buying, read the label on the pack you’re actually taking with you.
First decide whether individual portions or chocolate flakes only matter more to you. Then check the label and consider how you’ll store the product while you’re away.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check how many portions are in the pack, how much it contains and whether you want all the varieties in the mix. | If I want to take a measured amount for breakfast, I don’t want to spoon it out of a large pack while I’m away. For around 36% of consumers, this portioning convenience would be the main priority. |
| One particular type of chocolate flake | Read the product name and ingredients. A mix containing sprinkles or fruit sprinkles is different from a pack containing just one type of chocolate flake. | If you only want to eat your usual kind of chocolate flake while you’re away, other toppings in the same pack may not be much use. For around 29% of consumers, sticking to one favourite would come first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current label and, for a mixed box, the information for each individual variety. | If an ingredient could be a problem for me, I need to know what each variety contains before I pack it. For around 21% of consumers, checking this would be the top priority. |
| Storage while travelling | Read the storage instructions and consider whether you can keep an opened pack dry and well sealed. | When I’m moving between places to stay, I want to avoid the opened pack getting damp or being left open in my bag. For around 14% of consumers, storage would be the biggest consideration. |
De Ruijter Kleintjes also contains sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. If you only eat chocolate flakes, you may end up taking varieties you won’t use.
