Choose individual mini portions if you want to set out toppings in advance for a small group. De Ruijter Kleintjes includes both chocolate sprinkles and other decorations, so check whether you want to use the whole mix. If several guests will be choosing the same type of sprinkles, a standard 200–300 g box should do if you portion it out yourself and store any leftovers according to the label. Check the allergens for each variety.
If you’re setting up a breakfast, brunch or dessert table for a small group, you can put out individual portions rather than having everyone help themselves from one open box. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as a pack containing mini portions.
If several guests want the same flavour of chocolate sprinkles, you can portion them out yourself from a standard box to serve with bread rolls or desserts. Jumbo, ALDI and Lidl show examples of packs weighing 200–300 g.
If you’re catering for guests with a food allergy or intolerance, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack for the exact variety. A party mix and a milk chocolate variety may have different ingredients.
First, decide whether you need individual portions or can portion the sprinkles out yourself from a box. Then think about which flavour or mix will go best with your dishes, and what you’ll do with any leftovers.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portioning | Check how many individual portions there are, the weight of each portion and which decorations are included. | If I’m laying out toppings for a small group, I want to be able to put out small amounts without leaving one large box open. This would be the main consideration for around 50% of consumers. |
| Flavour variety | Check whether you’re buying chocolate sprinkles in just one flavour or a mix of flavours and decorations. | I want to give guests a choice at my dessert table, but a mixed pack still needs to go with the dishes. Variety would be the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Quantity and storage | Compare the pack size with how much you think you’ll use, and read the storage instructions on the box you choose. | If several guests are having the same flavour, I want to know whether we’ll use up the whole box and how to store what’s left. The quantity needed would be the main consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains other decorations as well as chocolate sprinkles. So a pack of mini portions isn’t automatically the right choice if you only want to put out chocolate sprinkles.
Check the contents of the whole pack before buying and decide which portions you’ll actually use.
