Choose individual portions of chocolate sprinkles if you’ll only use them a few times during the festival and don’t want to bring an opened pack with you. A pack of around 200 g is a better fit for several breakfasts, provided you can seal it properly after opening and keep it somewhere dry. A larger pack is worth considering mainly if you’re sharing or will use the rest at home. Whatever you choose, check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
If you only want to eat chocolate sprinkles a few times, individual portions or a small pack may fit your luggage better than a 600 g bulk pack. Just think about what you’ll do with any leftovers after the festival.
An opened pack is only practical if you can seal it properly and store it somewhere dry. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping chocolate sprinkles in a tightly sealed pack in a dry place after opening.
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional values determine your choice, compare the exact variants. Even dark chocolate sprinkles may list allergens or possible traces on the label.
Choose these if: you’re travelling solo, only planning a few occasions to eat them and don’t want to sprinkle them from an opened pack.
Bear in mind: the number of portions in the pack. De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight sachets; another De Ruijter portion pack contains 120, making it a very different amount to carry.
Choose this if: you want to use chocolate sprinkles several times and have a dry place where you can store the pack with the seal closed.

Compare the nutritional information per 100 g, then consider the portion you plan to use.
Particularly worth considering if you’re looking for individual portions: according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains four 15 g sachets and four 20 g sachets.
Jumbo lists Venz chocolate sprinkles in packs including 380 g and 400 g, which may suit anyone considering a larger pack.
Jumbo Chocolade Hagelslag Puur is an example of a standard 200 g pack; Jumbo lists ten portions for this variant.
The Kiekeboe dark chocolate sprinkles listed by Aldi come in a 600 g pack.
Lidl lists Mister Choc Hagelslag Puur in a 600 g pack.
These 200 g, 300 g and 400 g packs are options if you want to decide how much to use each time. If you’re specifically looking for individual sachets, check before buying whether your chosen pack contains them. An opened pack still needs to be kept dry and sealed tightly.
