For a group breakfast at a festival campsite, you can take several unopened 300 g packs of chocolate sprinkles rather than relying on one large catering pack. Decide between dark, milk or a mixed flavour only once you know how many people you’re catering for, how you’ll keep the packs cool and dry, and which ingredients and allergens matter to the group.
If you’re buying for several people or breakfast occasions, it helps to compare the net weight per pack and work out in advance how many packs you can take. PLUS and ALDI both list chocolate sprinkles in 300 g packs.
At a campsite, you’ll need to find somewhere to keep the packs dry and away from the heat. PLUS advises storing its dark chocolate sprinkles in a cool, dry, dark place. Check the instructions on the packs you’re actually taking, too.
If you’re buying for several people, choose between dark, milk and mixed flavours only after checking the ingredients and allergens for each exact variety. The labels for the De Ruijter, Choca and Venz varieties reviewed differ in this respect.
First, work out how many breakfasts you’re catering for and where you’ll store your supplies. Then compare the labels of the flavours that might suit your group.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the net weight and count how many unopened packs you’ll need for all the breakfasts. | If I’m catering for several people, I want to take enough sprinkles without relying on one large pack. Around 40% of consumers put the quantity they need first. |
| Storing them at the campsite | Check the storage instructions and whether you can keep the packs dry and away from the heat, and reseal them properly after opening. | If my supplies are going to be in a tent or camping luggage for several days, I need to be able to store them carefully. Around 30% of consumers prioritise being able to store products properly. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the declaration on each exact pack; don’t assume a product is suitable based on words such as ‘dark’ or ‘mix’. | If I’m buying for someone with an allergy or dietary restriction, I want to check the specific variety. For around 20% of consumers, this is their top priority. |
| Flavour variety | Find out whether your group would prefer dark, milk or mixed flavours, and check the label again if you choose a different variety. | If people have different preferences, I don’t want to choose several packs of the same flavour without checking. Around 10% of consumers prioritise variety. |
The 300 g options listed are consumer packs. You may need more than one for several festival breakfasts.
Count the people and breakfast occasions before you pack. Then decide how many unopened packs to take and check the net weight on each one.
Two smaller packs won’t necessarily contain as many sprinkles as two larger ones. This could leave you underestimating how much your group needs.
Compare the weights on the packs and work out the total quantity you want to take.
De Ruijter dark lists soya and possible traces of milk. The labels for the Choca mix and Venz Tiger Flakes varieties reviewed list several allergens. So ‘dark’ or ‘mix’ doesn’t tell you whether a variety is suitable for someone.

The product instructions for the sprinkles reviewed say to store them in a cool, dry place; some also specify a dark place or say to close the pack after use.
Store the packs as directed on the label, keep them somewhere dry, close any opened pack after use and check that the packaging stays intact.
