Sharing a late-night snack
You want enough chocolate sprinkles for several slices of bread, or to scatter over yoghurt or a dessert. The net weight helps you decide whether one pack will suit your plans.
Who is this for?
Fans of dark chocolate sprinkles
You’re specifically looking for a dark chocolate option or paying attention to the stated cocoa content. In that case, a 390 g pack may suit your taste better than a larger pack in a different flavour.
Comparing labels before sharing
You want to check the ingredients and allergens in each variety before sharing it. Nutritional values per 100 g can also help you compare packs.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide how much chocolate sprinkles you’ll need for your shared snack, then choose a flavour or sprinkle size. Before sharing, read the label on the variety you’ve picked.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight with the number of people eating. Use any stated serving count as a guide only. | If several people are eating, I don’t want the pack to run out halfway through. Around 42% of consumers prioritise having enough in the pack when making this choice. |
| Flavour and sprinkle size | Check whether the sprinkles are milk, dark, white or mixed chocolate, and what an XL or XXL label refers to. | For my snack or dessert, I’m mainly looking for a particular chocolate flavour or larger sprinkles. This is the first consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Label | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack; compare nutritional values per 100 g if needed. | When I share chocolate sprinkles, I want to make sure the variety I’ve chosen is suitable for everyone eating. Around 25% of consumers prioritise checking the label. |
Common misconceptions
-
Assuming XL means a large sharing pack
According to Albert Heijn, AH Hagelslag XL puur contains 380 g. So the XL label doesn’t tell you how much is in the pack.
Check the net weight if you’re looking for enough chocolate sprinkles for several people.
-
Assuming dark chocolate sprinkles contain no milk or soya
Jumbo lists milk and soya as allergens for De Ruijter Hagelslag Puur 390 g, and notes that it may contain lactose. The flavour name is no substitute for checking the allergen information.
Before sharing, read the label on the exact pack you’re buying.
-
Assuming an online product page guarantees availability
A particular flavour or pack size won’t necessarily be available through every sales channel. For example, Lidl lists Mister Choc Hagelslag puur 600 g as an in-store product.
Check where your chosen variety is available. If you opt for an alternative, compare the quantity and ingredients again.
