Which size is right for you?

Solo snackers who want a set amount

Want to spread chocolate sprinkles across separate snack occasions without measuring out an amount each time? According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions in one pack.

Staying in and looking for a small stock-up

If you’d like to use chocolate sprinkles more than once during the autumn half-term, you can choose a pack size to suit those occasions. Jumbo lists 200 g packs alongside larger 600 g sizes.

Shoppers with questions about ingredients or allergens

Check the current packaging for the variant you’ve chosen before using it. According to European labelling information, prepacked foods must show details including ingredients, allergens and nutritional values.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you need individual portions or would rather spoon them out of a pack yourself. Then choose your preferred variant and check the label.

What to consider What to check when buying Best suited to
Individual portions Check whether the pack contains individual portions and how many there are. If I want a measured amount for one snack, I’d rather not spoon it out of a large pack. Around 42% of consumers prioritise individual portions as their main need.
A suitable pack size Compare the weight in grams with how many times you expect to use the chocolate sprinkles. For a few snack occasions, I want enough to have at home without being left with a large stock. Around 33% of consumers prioritise a suitable pack size.
Variant and label Choose the shape and flavour you want; if you have allergies or dietary requirements, read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging. When flavour, texture or ingredients guide my choice, I look beyond the pack size. This is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing a portion of chocolate sprinkles with a snack bar

    The eight portions of De Ruijter Kleintjes are chocolate sprinkles to scatter, not individual chocolate bars.

    Look for a pack of individual portions if you mean a measured amount of chocolate sprinkles. If you want a bar to eat as it is, search specifically for a chocolate or snack bar.

  • Treating online ingredient information as definitive

    A product’s ingredients can change. If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, the information on the packaging for your chosen variant is therefore important.

    Before using it, read the current ingredients list and the allergens stated on the packaging.

  • Choosing a large pack for one planned snack

    A 600 g pack isn’t divided into individual portions and may be more than you want to use in one sitting.

    Choose individual portions if dividing them up is important. Pick a regular pack size to suit the snack occasions you’re expecting, or if you’ll be sharing it with others.

Brands to compare

De Ruijter

Worth considering if you’re specifically looking for chocolate sprinkles in individual portions.

  • According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains 140 g of chocolate sprinkles, divided into eight portions.
  • Check whether other De Ruijter variants also come in portions; a regular pack won’t necessarily offer the same split.

Venz

A brand to explore when flavour or shape matters more to you than a measured portion.

  • Albert Heijn lists products including Venz XXL white chocolate sprinkles and Venz Kwinkslag dark vanilla.
  • Check the size and current ingredients on the packaging for your chosen variant.

Kiekeboe

ALDI’s own-brand range includes dark chocolate sprinkles, among other products, for anyone looking for a larger pack.

  • The dark chocolate sprinkles listed by ALDI come in a 600 g pack.
  • This size is less suited to one measured snack; check the latest shop information if you’re thinking of buying it.

Mister Choc

Lidl lists Mister Choc Dark Chocolate Sprinkles as an option for anyone looking for this variant.

  • Lidl’s product page specifically describes it as dark chocolate sprinkles.
  • Check the current packaging for the pack size and whether it’s divided into portions.

Jumbo

An own-brand option for comparing pack sizes for repeated use.

  • Jumbo lists dark chocolate sprinkles in 200 g and 600 g packs.
  • A large pack isn’t the same as individually wrapped portions, so choose a size to suit how you’ll use it.
