Want to set a limit on the amount of sprinkles for each afternoon snack in advance? Pair plain rusks with individually wrapped chocolate sprinkles: according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions of 15 or 20 g, but no rusks. If you often make rusks with chocolate sprinkles at home and want to decide how much to use, you can pair plain rusks with a regular pack. Whichever option you choose, check the ingredients and allergens in both the rusks and the topping.
An individual sachet of sprinkles gives you a set amount of topping for each snack. Albert Heijn lists eight portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes; AH Beschuit naturel is sold separately in packs of 13 rusks. So you’ll need both products.
If you have rusks with chocolate sprinkles on several occasions, you can use a regular pack and choose how much to sprinkle on. Jumbo lists both plain rusks and regular chocolate sprinkles; make sure you seal any opened rusks well.
Check the rusks and chocolate sprinkles as two separate products. Albert Heijn lists wheat and egg in AH Beschuit naturel; other allergens may also be relevant in the different varieties in De Ruijter Kleintjes. Read the current labels for the varieties you plan to use.
First, decide between a pre-measured portion of topping and helping yourself from a regular pack. Then compare the rusks and chocolate sprinkles separately: a sachet of sprinkles on its own doesn’t make a complete afternoon snack.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check how many sachets there are, the weight of each sachet and whether you need to buy rusks separately.

| Ingredients | Read the ingredients, allergen and nutritional information on both packs. Compare similar products per 100 g. | If you need to avoid certain ingredients, the contents of both the rusks and the topping matter. Around 27% of consumers put this check first. |
De Ruijter Kleintjes contains individual portions of chocolate sprinkles and flakes, but no rusks. So, a mention of mini portions doesn’t mean both parts are included in the pack.
