If you specifically want to use chocolate flakes for a patio get-together, choose a pack that lets you measure out the amount you need. A small pack doesn’t necessarily contain flakes: the De Ruijter Kleintjes with eight portions listed by Albert Heijn are chocolate sprinkles. So check the product type first, then the flavour, pack size and ingredients.
Want to take flakes with you or share them without scooping from a large pack each time? Check whether the small pack really contains flakes. The Kleintjes portions listed by Albert Heijn are chocolate sprinkles.
If the product type and flavour are your priorities, you can compare standard packs of flakes in varieties such as dark, milk or mixed. Any stated cocoa percentage applies to that specific variety, not to every product from the brand.
When choosing a pack for a patio get-together, consider the pack size, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions. Read the label on the exact product, especially if anyone sharing it has an allergy or intolerance.
First decide whether you definitely want flakes or simply want individually portioned servings. Then compare the flavour and pack size, and read the label of the variety you plan to use.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |

| Pack size | Check the weight and decide how much you want to take with you and store. | If I’m planning several occasions, I want to measure out what I use without taking the whole pack outside. Pack size is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
| Label and storage | Read the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the current pack. | If I need to account for an allergy or intolerance, I want to know exactly what this variety contains. For around 10% of consumers, checking the label comes first. |
