If you want to take pre-measured portions on a car journey, De Ruijter Kleintjes is one option: the pack contains eight portions of 15 g or 20 g, but includes chocolate flakes as well as chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. If you only want flakes, choose a regular pack and portion out what you need for each stop at home. Whichever you choose, check the ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions on the packaging.
If you don’t want to sprinkle from a large pack during a stop, you can take individual portions with you. According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions of 15 g or 20 g. Just check which sprinkles you’ll actually be taking: not all of them are flakes.
If you prepare at home what you want to sprinkle on bread or yoghurt while you’re out, you can portion flakes from a regular pack yourself. Take them in dry, well-sealed containers; an opened pack needs a little extra care after use.
If someone in your group needs to avoid certain ingredients, the exact product variant matters more than whether it’s labelled ‘dark’ or ‘chocolate’. Before you set off, check the label on the pack you’ve chosen, including the allergen information and any warnings about possible traces.
First decide whether you need individual portions or would rather portion them out at home. Then choose the type of flakes you want and check the label for everyone who’ll be eating them.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-measured portions | Check the number of portions, the weight of each portion and which ones contain flakes. | If I want to take a measured amount for each stop, I don’t want to keep sprinkling from an opened pack. For around 50% of consumers, pre-portioned packs are the top priority. |
| Portioning it yourself and choosing one flavour | Check the pack weight and type of flakes; if you’re preparing portions at home, use dry, sealable containers. | I can prepare at home what we’ll use during the journey, and I want to choose a particular flavour of flakes. Around 30% of consumers prioritise portioning it themselves. |
| Flavour and ingredients | For the exact variant, read the ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions on the label. | If tastes or ingredients to avoid vary among the people travelling, I want to know what’s in each product we choose. For around 20% of consumers, checking this is the main concern. |
According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes also contains chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. This mix won’t suit you if you want flakes only for every stop.
Read the product description before choosing and check which sprinkles are included in the individual portions.
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Puur contains soya and may contain milk. The name alone is therefore not a reliable basis for choosing a product if you have allergies.
Check the current label for the exact variant and everyone who’ll be eating it.
Taking small portions from an opened pack yourself requires more preparation than taking individually wrapped portions. Product information from De Ruijter and Venz also says that the flakes should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Portion the flakes in advance into clean, dry, well-sealed containers, or close the pack after use according to the packaging instructions.
The product information consulted from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists both Kleintjes, with individual portions, and a regular 200 g pack of Chocoladevlokken Puur.
PLUS describes Rimboe Tijgervlokken Melk & Vanille as a 200 g pack containing different flakes and shapes.
Jumbo lists Choca Vlokken and Choca Vlokken Mix in 200 g packs; PLUS lists 200 g packs of Choca Vlokken.
These flakes are options for anyone who wants to portion out amounts at home for a car journey. If you’re looking for individually wrapped mini portions, check the packaging rather than assuming they’re included based on the pack weight.

No, the pack also contains chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, it contains eight portions of 15 g or 20 g, including chocolate flakes. Choose this mix only if the other sprinkles also suit what you want to take with you.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen and keep the flakes well sealed. Product information from De Ruijter and Venz says that the products should be stored in a cool, dry place; if you like, portion a regular pack into clean, dry containers before you set off.
Check the allergen information on the label for the exact variant you’re taking. Albert Heijn lists soya and the possible presence of milk for De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Puur; Jumbo and PLUS list several allergens for the mixed variants consulted. Don’t rely on the product name alone.
