For a TV night, don’t choose based on the term ‘squeeze bottle’ alone: check whether the product actually contains dry chocolate sprinkles and how you can portion them. Individual portions are handy for setting out small amounts; a standard or larger pack is better suited to repeated use, provided you can dispense and store it dry. Check the current ingredients and allergens for every option.
Want to set out small amounts for several people without having to pour from a large pack each time? Individual portions are worth considering. Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter Kleintjes as small portion packs; check which chocolate sprinkles and flakes are included in the pack you choose.
If you’ll use the chocolate sprinkles after TV night too, a standard or larger pack may suit your needs. Before opening it, think about how you’ll keep it dry and dispense small amounts.
If you need to consider ingredients, allergens or nutritional information for the people eating, compare the specific product rather than relying on the flavour name alone. For example, Jumbo lists milk and soya as allergens in Venz Puur 400 g.
First decide whether you want to set out small amounts or need a pack for several occasions. Then check the packaging and the label of the specific product: a squeeze bottle of liquid chocolate is not a bottle of dry chocolate sprinkles.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing and portioning | Check whether the pack contains individual portions and whether they contain chocolate sprinkles, flakes or both. | If I want to set something out for several viewers, I don’t want to pour from a large pack over the snacks each time; around 42% of consumers prioritise sharing with minimal mess. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, allergen information and nutritional details for the product you’ve chosen. | When others are eating too, I want to know what’s in the pack before serving it. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
| Pack size and storage | Compare pack sizes and check how to store the chocolate sprinkles after opening. | If I use chocolate sprinkles on other days too, I want an amount that suits how I use them; around 33% of consumers prioritise pack size for repeated use. |
A squeeze bottle of liquid topping doesn’t meet the same need as a pack of dry chocolate sprinkles.
Read the product title and ingredients, and check the packaging. If you want to set out small amounts, look at individual portions too.
The flavour name doesn’t tell you which allergens a product contains. According to Jumbo’s product information, Venz Puur 400 g contains milk and soya and may contain lactose.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack, even if you’ve bought the same brand before.
Lidl marks the large packs of chocolate sprinkles mentioned as in-store only. A product listing on its own doesn’t tell you whether it can be delivered to your address.
Check how you can buy the specific product before planning a shop visit or placing an order.

Only if the specific product really does contain dry chocolate sprinkles in the packaging you want. Check the product title, ingredients and how to dispense it; a squeeze bottle of liquid chocolate isn’t chocolate sprinkles. Individual portions are another option if you want to set out small amounts in advance.
Follow the instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. The De Ruijter Specials and Venz Puur products described here should be stored in a cool, dry place; check the best-before date on your own pack too.
Yes. Check the label of the specific product if allergens matter to the people eating it. Jumbo lists milk and soya, and possible lactose, for Venz Puur 400 g. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that the mandatory allergen labelling requirement applies to 14 allergens.
Compare the nutritional information for the products you’ve chosen on the same basis, such as per 100 g, then consider how much you’ll serve. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 67 kcal as a general reference for 15 g of chocolate sprinkles; for a specific product, the information on its own packaging takes precedence.
