Choose mini portions if you want to take pre-portioned sprinkles with you or try different varieties without opening several large packs. The mini packs mentioned here combine flakes with other sprinkles. If you want flakes only and prefer to serve them yourself, look for a regular pack instead. For mini portions, check the weight per sachet, the ingredients and the label.
For breakfast, lunch or decorating, you may want a small amount ready to use without pouring it from a large pack. Albert Heijn lists eight sachets in De Ruijter Kleintjes: four weighing 15 g and four weighing 20 g. Jumbo lists eight portions in Strooi Mini's.
You may want to alternate flakes with other sprinkles without opening several large packs. Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo describes both of the mini packs mentioned here as a mix of milk and dark chocolate flakes with other sprinkles.
If you regularly use flakes on their own and want to choose the amount yourself, a regular pack may suit your routine better. Jumbo lists 300 g packs of Chocolade Vlokken Puur and Chocolade Vlokken Melk, among other options.
First decide whether you need individual portions. Then consider whether you want a mixed pack of sprinkles or flakes only.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of sachets and the weight of each one. Albert Heijn lists four 15 g sachets and four 20 g sachets in De Ruijter Kleintjes. | I want to take a sachet with me for lunch without measuring it out myself. For around 50% of consumers, pre-portioned servings are the priority. |
| A mix or flakes only | Check which sprinkles are in the pack; the mini options mentioned here combine flakes with hagelslag. | If I want variety, I also need to be happy using the other sprinkles in the mix. Around 30% of consumers prioritise variety. |
| Serving it yourself | Check the pack size and whether your chosen variety contains only the flakes you want. | If I use flakes often, I’d rather pour out the amount I want from a regular pack. This is the main consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini's also contain other sprinkles. A mixed pack won’t necessarily suit someone who only wants chocolate flakes.
Read the full product description and check which varieties are in the sachets.
If you have a food allergy, the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack are what matter. Product information can change.
Check the label before use, including any warnings about cross-contamination. Albert Heijn advises checking the pack for the correct allergy information.
De Ruijter offers regular chocolate flakes as well as Kleintjes, a portion-sized pack containing different sprinkles.
Jumbo lists Strooi Mini's, with eight portions in a 140 g pack, and regular Chocolade Vlokken Puur and Chocolade Vlokken Melk in 300 g packs.
Jumbo’s flakes category includes Venz varieties such as Rimboe Kroko Vlokken Puur/Vanille and Rimboe Tijger Vlokken Melk/Vanille.
Jumbo’s flakes category lists Choca Vlokken and Choca Vlokken Mix, both in 200 g packs.
No. The mini packs mentioned here are mixes. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes combines milk and dark chocolate flakes with fruit sprinkles and chocolate hagelslag. Jumbo says that Strooi Mini's also contains other types of hagelslag alongside milk and dark chocolate flakes.
Not in De Ruijter Kleintjes: Albert Heijn lists four 15 g portions and four 20 g portions. Jumbo lists eight portions in a total pack size of 140 g for Strooi Mini's. Check the weight of each sachet if it matters for how you’ll use them.
Check the label on the exact pack before use, even if you’ve already looked at the ingredients online. Albert Heijn advises checking the pack for the correct allergy information. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. For De Ruijter Vlokken Royaal, Jumbo advises storing the contents in a cool, dry place and checking the best-before date on the bottom.
