Choose rusks if you want a crisp base that you can top individually while watching the Dutch team; choose medium-sliced bread if you specifically want sliced bread. Then pick your chocolate sprinkles by flavour and pack size, and check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for the version you’ve chosen of both the base and the topping.
If you want to top individual rusks, choose your base first, then pick a chocolate sprinkle flavour and pack size to suit your plans. Jumbo’s range includes different flavours and pack sizes from De Ruijter and Venz.
If the nutritional value of the base matters to you, compare wholemeal rusks per 100 g. For the Bolletje Vezelrijk boeren beschuit volkoren it reviewed, Albert Heijn lists 10 g of fibre per 100 g. Check the ingredients and allergens for the version you choose, too.
If ingredients, allergens or sugars influence your choice, check both the rusks or bread and the chocolate sprinkles. Voedingscentrum gives 9.4 g of sugars as the average for a 15 g serving of chocolate sprinkles; check the packaging for the nutritional information of a specific version.
First decide whether you want to serve rusks or medium-sliced bread. Then compare the nutritional information and label for your chosen base and chocolate sprinkles separately.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who might find this useful? |
|---|---|---|
| Rusks or bread | Check whether the pack contains rusks or medium-sliced bread; the term ‘medium-sliced’ doesn’t make rusks a type of bread. | I want a crisp base to top individually while watching, or I’d rather use sliced bread. For around 40% of consumers, choosing the base comes first. |
| Fibre and sugars | Compare the fibre in the base per 100 g and the sugars in the chocolate sprinkles per 100 g or per stated serving. Voedingscentrum gives 9.4 g of sugars as the average for 15 g of chocolate sprinkles. | If I’m watching the nutritional value, I want to assess the wholemeal base and the amount of chocolate sprinkles separately. Fibre or sugars are the main consideration for around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the up-to-date ingredients and allergen information for the exact base and chocolate sprinkles you’ve chosen. | If certain ingredients need to be avoided, I want to be able to check both packs before serving. Around 30% of consumers prioritise checking the labels. |
If you search only for chocolate sprinkles, you might overlook the choice between crisp rusks and sliced bread. The base determines what you’ll actually serve.
Choose the type of base first, before comparing chocolate sprinkle flavours or pack sizes.
Ingredients vary between versions. Albert Heijn lists milk, soya, wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Hagelfeest, and cereals containing gluten and sesame, among other ingredients, for the Bolletje wholemeal rusks it reviewed.
Check the up-to-date allergen information on both packs for the exact products you’ve chosen, even just before serving.
According to Voedingscentrum, bread isn’t required to be baked with baker’s salt. So you can’t tell whether it’s included just from the type of product.
If baker’s salt is relevant to your choice, check the bread label or ask your baker.
De Ruijter and Venz offer chocolate sprinkle varieties, while Bolletje is worth considering if you’re looking for a base of rusks. Always compare specific products, not just brand names.
A chocolate sprinkle brand with dark and milk chocolate varieties, among others, in the range shown by Jumbo.
A chocolate sprinkle brand for which Jumbo shows milk and dark chocolate varieties, among others.
A rusk brand with a wholemeal variety for anyone looking to compare the nutritional value of the base.
These products let you choose a rusk base and chocolate sprinkles separately for watching the Dutch team. The rusks are sold without chocolate sprinkles; choose a suitable base for the sprinkles yourself, whether that’s rusks or bread.
