Who are the different pack types suitable for?

If you want to share out sealed packs

You use chocolate sprinkles at different times or in different places, and want to keep some packs unopened. A multipack of separate standard packs is a good choice.

If you’re preparing lunchboxes or a buffet

You want to hand out individual portions without having to spoon them out of a large pack each time. If you choose an assortment, check which varieties are included.

If you regularly use chocolate sprinkles at home

You’re mainly looking for a larger quantity in one pack and don’t need separate sealed packs or individual portions.

What should you look for in a pack?

Think about how you’d like to use the chocolate sprinkles alongside the rijsttafel or on other occasions: sharing out sealed packs, handing out portions or using one larger pack at home.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Sharing out sealed packs Check how many individual packs there are and the quantity in each one; one large pack isn’t a multipack. If I want to share chocolate sprinkles across several lunches or tables, I’d rather keep the packs sealed until I need them; around 42% of consumers prioritise sealed packs.
Individual portions Check the number and weight of the portions. For mixed packs, read the label for each variety. For a lunchbox or buffet, I want to hand out portions without measuring them myself. Around 33% of consumers prioritise individual portions.
Quantity for home use Check the net weight and how to store the pack once opened. I use chocolate sprinkles regularly at home and want to stock up with one larger pack, even if I need to seal it well after opening; for around 25% of consumers, the larger quantity is the main consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a large pack for a multipack

    A 600 g pack contains plenty of chocolate sprinkles, but it doesn’t give you separate sealed packs or pre-measured portions.

    Choose a 2- or 3-pack if you want to share out whole packs. If you want to hand out individual portions, look for portion packs.

  • Planning chocolate sprinkles as a dish for the rijsttafel

    According to Eetspiratie, an Indonesian rijsttafel consists of rice served with several small dishes. Chocolate sprinkles are a bread topping and don’t replace those dishes.

    If you like, serve chocolate sprinkles separately with bread, and plan the rijsttafel itself around rice and side dishes.

  • Checking only the outer pack of a mixed portion pack

    Different varieties in one assortment may contain different ingredients and allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens are listed in the ingredients list on the label.

    Before handing out portions, check the latest ingredients and allergen information for the ones you plan to serve.

Frequently asked questions

Are chocolate sprinkles part of an Indonesian rijsttafel?

Chocolate sprinkles aren’t a typical dish for a rijsttafel. According to Eetspiratie, an Indonesian rijsttafel consists of rice served with several small dishes. So, at most, serve chocolate sprinkles separately as a bread topping, rather than as a replacement for a side dish.

Which pack is handy for lunchboxes or a buffet?

Individual portions are handy if you want to pack them in advance or hand them out. Albert Heijn lists eight portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes: four of 15 g and four of 20 g. Check which varieties are in the pack and read the ingredients for each one.

How should I store an opened pack of chocolate sprinkles?

Seal the pack well and store it in a dry place, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre for chocolate sprinkles. Also follow the storage advice on the pack you’re using.

Do I need to check the allergens again if I buy the same brand?

Yes. Check the latest ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve chosen, especially if you’re handing out different portions. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens are listed in the ingredients list on the label.
