Which pack works best for you?

Families who often use the same chocolate sprinkles

If you have chocolate sprinkles several times a week at breakfast or lunch, a multipack with separate packs can be handy. A large pack is another option if you’ll use it all up.

Lunchbox planners who want to split their stock

If you want to use one pack and keep another separate for lunches or elsewhere, check that the multipack really does contain individual packs. Albert Heijn describes the Venz 2-pack as two separate 400 g packs.

People who only use chocolate sprinkles occasionally

If you only occasionally add chocolate sprinkles to bread, consider whether a smaller pack is a better choice than buying a larger supply. The Voedingscentrum lists chocolate sprinkles as a sweet topping that shouldn’t be chosen too often. Also check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for each product.

What should you look for in chocolate sprinkles?

First decide whether you want to split your stock, use one pack regularly or switch between flavours. Then check the amount in each pack and the label on the exact product you’re considering.

What to consider What to check before buying Best suited to
Splitting your stock Check whether the multipack contains separate packs and how many grams are in each one. I want to use one pack and keep the other sealed for another breakfast or lunch. For around 36% of consumers, having a separate pack in reserve would be the biggest priority.
Usage and pack size Compare the total amount with how much chocolate sprinkles you usually use; Jumbo and ALDI each list a 600 g dark chocolate option. If the same chocolate sprinkles are often on the table at home, I don’t want to keep opening a new pack. A size suited to regular use would be the main consideration for around 29% of consumers.
Variety at breakfast and lunch Check the flavour and amount in each pack, especially if everyone at home prefers a different option. For different lunchboxes, I don’t want to be tied to one large pack in a single flavour. Having the option to switch would come first for around 21% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information and best-before date on the exact pack. If I have a particular preference about ingredients, I want to know what’s in the product I’ve chosen before buying a supply. For around 14% of consumers, this label information would be the most important consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming more in the pack is automatically more convenient

    A large pack doesn’t give you a separate pack to keep in reserve. With the Venz 2-pack described by Albert Heijn, you can keep one of the two 400 g packs separate instead.

    Check the amount in each pack and choose a size that suits how you plan to use your stock.

  • Choosing one large pack when people prefer different flavours

    A pack with one flavour gives you less scope to switch between options. De Ruijter and Venz offer different varieties, and their pack sizes vary too.

    Choose separate varieties if having a choice matters more than stocking up on one flavour.

  • Assuming ‘dark’ tells you everything about allergens

    A flavour name isn’t a complete list of ingredients. According to the product information, De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur contains milk fat and soya lecithin, and may contain milk protein and lactose.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging for the exact variety, even if you’ve bought a similar product before.

  • Confusing a larger pack with a reason to eat chocolate sprinkles more often

    The Voedingscentrum lists chocolate sprinkles as a sweet bread topping that shouldn’t be chosen too often. A larger pack doesn’t change that advice.

    Choose the amount you buy based on how often you usually use chocolate sprinkles.

Brands to consider

Venz

If you’re looking for two separate packs of dark chocolate sprinkles, Albert Heijn describes a Venz 2-pack containing two 400 g packs.

  • The separate packs let you keep one in reserve.
  • Both packs in this multipack contain the same variety; choose separate varieties if you want to switch between flavours.

De Ruijter

Jumbo stocks 390 g dark and milk chocolate varieties, among others, while Albert Heijn stocks a 200 g Specials Intens Puur variety.

  • Albert Heijn states that Specials Intens Puur contains at least 52% cocoa solids.
  • This particular variety contains milk fat and soya lecithin, and may contain milk protein and lactose; check the label for the variety you choose.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists its own-brand Dark Chocolate Sprinkles in a 600 g pack.

  • The size may suit regular use of the same variety.
  • A single 600 g pack doesn’t give you a separate, sealed pack to keep in reserve.

Kiekeboe

ALDI describes Kiekeboe Dark Chocolate Sprinkles as a 600 g pack.

  • ALDI states that this variety uses Rainforest Alliance cocoa.
  • Check the ingredients and other label information on the exact pack before choosing.

Mister Choc

Lidl features Mister Choc Dark Chocolate Sprinkles in its breakfast and toppings range.

  • A dark chocolate option to compare with other packs of chocolate sprinkles.
  • Check the amount on the pack to see whether the size suits how you use it.

Frequently asked questions

When is a 2-pack more convenient than one 600 g pack?

A 2-pack is more convenient if you want to keep one pack sealed or split your stock between two places. Albert Heijn describes the Venz 2-pack as two separate 400 g packs; a single 600 g pack is a better fit if you regularly use the same chocolate sprinkles in one place.

Can I rely on the product name to tell me about allergens in dark chocolate sprinkles?

No, check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging for the exact variety. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur contains milk fat and soya lecithin, and may contain milk protein and lactose.

What should I check if a pack of chocolate sprinkles has already been opened?

Follow the storage and best-before information on that product’s packaging. This also lets you check the guidance for each individual pack in a multipack.

Is a large pack a reason to eat chocolate sprinkles more often?

No, the pack size doesn’t change how often you should use chocolate sprinkles. The Voedingscentrum lists them as a sweet bread topping that shouldn’t be chosen too often, so bear your usual consumption in mind when choosing a pack size.
