Hosts who want to keep some stock separate
Would you like to serve chocolate sprinkles with coffee or brunch and keep an unopened box for another occasion? The De Ruijter 2-packs listed by Albert Heijn contain two separate 200 g boxes.
Which pack works best for you?
People who use small amounts
Do you occasionally use chocolate sprinkles on bread or as a topping, perhaps for a lunchbox too? A single 200 g box may suit you better than buying two boxes at once. Check how to store the pack once opened.
Shoppers comparing pack sizes
If you want to stock up on chocolate sprinkles for several occasions, consider whether you need two separate boxes or whether one will be enough. Alongside Albert Heijn’s 2-packs, Jumbo and ALDI also list 300 g packs of chocolate sprinkles.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you want to keep one box sealed for later. Then choose a suitable quantity and, before serving them to others, read the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping stock separate | Check how many individual boxes there are and the amount in each; a 2-pack isn’t automatically made up of individual portions. | If I’m serving chocolate sprinkles now and want to keep an unopened box for later, I need two separate packs. Around 50% of consumers put keeping stock separate first. |
| Quantity for several occasions | Compare the total amount in the 2-pack with that of a single box, and decide whether you need a second sealed box. | For coffee and later occasions, I want to buy enough without getting more boxes than I’ll use. Around 30% of consumers put choosing the right total quantity first. |
| Using small amounts | Check the amount in each pack and the storage instructions. If anyone has allergies, check the ingredients and allergens on the current label too. | When I only use chocolate sprinkles on bread now and then, I want to avoid having much left over once the pack is open. For around 20% of consumers, keeping the quantity small is the most important factor. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a 2-pack contains individual lunchbox portions
Albert Heijn lists the De Ruijter 2-packs as individual products. Two boxes are not the same as separately packed portions for taking out and about.
If you want to take chocolate sprinkles in a lunchbox, you’ll need to portion them yourself.
-
Going by the word ‘multipack’ alone
A 2-pack of two 200 g boxes and a single 300 g box offer different ways to store your stock. The number of packs alone doesn’t tell you how much you’ll use.
Compare the quantities and decide whether you’d rather keep a second box sealed or use one pack for several occasions.
-
Assuming all chocolate sprinkles contain the same allergens
For De Ruijter milk chocolate sprinkles, PLUS lists milk, lactose and soya among the allergens. Ingredients and allergens can vary between product varieties.
Check the current label for each variety before serving chocolate sprinkles to anyone with an allergy or intolerance.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 2-pack of chocolate sprinkles useful for lunchboxes?

How should I store an opened box of chocolate sprinkles?
Follow the instructions on the pack of the chocolate sprinkles you’ve chosen. For De Ruijter milk chocolate sprinkles, PLUS advises storing them in a cool, dry place and gently pressing the pack closed after use.
Where can I check allergen information if friends are coming round?
