Take chocolate sprinkles to a festival campsite in their original packaging if you can reseal it after use and store it somewhere cool and dry. If you want to sprinkle them more precisely, consider a shaker designed for dry food, but check that the opening is suitable for your sprinkles. Don’t simply choose a regular squeeze bottle based on its capacity in millilitres.
If an open packet is awkward to use at the campsite, you’ll want to be able to reseal the sprinkles and keep them dry. For the chocolate sprinkles reviewed, Jumbo says they should be kept cool and dry. A shaker could be an alternative if the seller says it is designed for dry products and the opening is suitable for the sprinkles.
For a weekend with a few mealtimes, the number of people eating and the net weight are more useful than the capacity of an empty shaker alone. For Choca Vlokken Mix 200 g, Jumbo lists around 13 portions; for Jumbo Chocolade Vlokken Puur 300 g, it lists 15 portions. Don’t treat these product-specific figures as a standard portion size.
If you’re sharing the sprinkles, the exact variety needs to suit everyone in the group. According to Jumbo’s product information, De Ruijter Vlokken Puur contains soya and may contain milk; Choca Vlokken Mix lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and wheat. Check the current label before buying.
First, decide how you’ll keep the sprinkles dry while travelling and using them. Then compare the quantity with the number of times your group will eat them, and check the flavour, ingredients and allergens for the exact variety.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them along dry and without spills | Can you reseal the packet after use and store it somewhere cool and dry? If you’re decanting the sprinkles, check that the shaker is designed for dry food and has a suitable opening. | If I’m making breakfast in a tent or at a picnic table, I don’t want to be left with an open packet or damp sprinkles. For around 40% of consumers, keeping them dry and avoiding spills is the top priority. |
| Quantity for the group | Compare the net weight and portion information on the label with the number of people eating and the number of mealtimes, rather than looking only at the shaker’s capacity. | For a short weekend, I want to take enough without having lots of opened leftovers. Around 30% of consumers give quantity the highest priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the exact packaging for both the listed allergens and any warnings that traces may be present. | When several people are eating from the same packet, I want to know whether everyone can have the chosen variety before sharing it. This check matters most to around 20% of consumers. |
| Flavour | Choose the type of sprinkles you want and check the variety on the packaging. Only compare stated cocoa content between the products concerned. | If the group would rather have a mix than just dark chocolate sprinkles, I want to choose a flavour everyone will actually enjoy. Flavour comes first for around 10% of consumers. |
A bottle for sauces or oil isn’t necessarily suitable for dispensing dry chocolate sprinkles. A narrow opening or a neck that’s difficult to clean can make serving awkward.
Don’t let capacity be the deciding factor. Use the original packet, or check before buying that the shaker is designed for dry food and is suitable for the shape of your sprinkles.
The sprinkles reviewed should be kept cool and dry. Van Beekum Specerijen says its shaker and lid must be completely dry after hand-washing before you refill them.
Only fill a shaker once it’s clean and completely dry. If you can’t guarantee this while travelling, keep the sprinkles in their original packaging and store it somewhere dry.
Dark and mixed sprinkles can contain different ingredients and allergens. The name or colour of a variety won’t tell you everything that’s in it.
Ask which ingredients matter to the group, then check the allergen information on the exact packaging before sharing the sprinkles.

Don’t use a regular squeeze bottle without checking that it’s suitable for dry chocolate sprinkles. The sprinkles reviewed need to be kept cool and dry, and a bottle designed for liquids won’t necessarily have an opening that works for sprinkles. If you want to decant them, check that the container is intended for contact with dry food and that you can keep it completely clean and dry.
Base the quantity on the number of people eating and the number of mealtimes. To work it out, compare the net weight and portion information for the variety you choose. For example, Jumbo lists around 13 portions for Choca Vlokken Mix 200 g and 15 portions for Jumbo Chocolade Vlokken Puur 300 g. These figures are specific to those products and aren’t standard portion sizes for other sprinkles.
Keep the chocolate sprinkles reviewed cool and dry, and reseal the packaging after use. Scouting Nederland also recommends storing food while camping in a dry, cool, dark place that’s free from insects. Always check the storage instructions on the packaging you’re taking with you.
