If you want to buy chocolate sprinkles for yourself for a Christmas party, a 200 g box is a smaller option than a 300 g box, but it isn’t an individually wrapped bar. For a brunch or dessert with several guests, the flavour and the quantity you need matter too. Before serving, check the allergens on the label of your chosen variety.
If you want to enjoy chocolate sprinkles around Christmas without buying a 300 g box, you could consider a 200 g pack. PLUS lists this pack size for De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Melk. It’s still a box, not an individual bar.
If you want to sprinkle them on bread, yoghurt or a dessert, the flavour matters more than the box size alone. De Ruijter’s product information suggests these uses; check which ingredients are in your chosen variety.
For a brunch with several guests, a 300 g box may be a better fit for the quantity you need than a smaller box. ALDI Nederland, for example, lists 300 g packs of Kiekeboe sprinkles. Also consider whether you’ll use the leftovers after the party.
First decide whether you need individual portions or want to sprinkle them from a box. Then choose a quantity and flavour that suit how you’ll use them at your Christmas party.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Small pack | Check the net weight and whether you’re buying a box of sprinkles or individual portions. | If I’m mainly using the sprinkles myself, I don’t want to buy a bigger box than I can get through. For around 45% of consumers, a smaller quantity is the most important factor. |
| Flavour and use as a topping | Check the flavour and ingredients if you want to use the sprinkles for brunch or dessert. | For a dessert table, I look for sprinkles with a flavour that suits my dish. This use comes first for around 33% of consumers. |
| Quantity for guests | Check the weight per box and how much you expect to use during and after the party. | When I’m catering for several people, I want to have enough without buying so much that it’s left over afterwards. Around 22% of consumers put the quantity they need first. |
A 200 g box may suit occasional use, but it won’t necessarily give you individually wrapped portions.
Check the type of packaging before choosing sprinkles if each guest needs their own portion.
According to product information from Jumbo and PLUS, De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Melk contains milk, lactose and soya; De Ruijter Royaal Puur lists soya and may contain milk. So the variety makes a difference.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ll actually be serving, especially if any guests have an allergy or intolerance.
A product appearing in a category doesn’t mean your chosen variety will be available when you need it for your Christmas party.
Check that the pack you want is available at your local shop in good time, or before you complete your order.
