Organisers keeping an eye on quantity
Want to put out enough chocolate sprinkles for everyone to share, using one larger pack. Jumbo and ALDI stock 600 g packs, as well as smaller branded packs.
Who are these packs for?
Organisers catering for different tastes
Want to choose between options such as dark, milk, white or mixed chocolate sprinkles. Jumbo’s range includes these options from De Ruijter and Venz; check which exact pack is right for your group.
Organisers who want to serve separate portions
Want to offer several types of sprinkles in individual portions rather than sharing one open pack. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as containing eight portions, with a total weight of 140 g.
What should you consider when choosing?
First, decide whether a shared pack, a choice of flavours or individual portions would work best for your meeting. Then check the weight and the label on the pack you choose.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight and decide whether one pack will be enough for your planned use. | If I’m putting out one type for everyone to share, I want to know how much is in the pack. This is the most important factor for around 40% of consumers. |
| Choice of flavour | Check the exact options and decide whether one flavour will do or whether you’d like to put out several packs. | If the group has different preferences, I want to be able to offer more than one flavour. This is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Allergens and ingredients | Read the label on each pack you choose and keep it available when serving. | If someone asks about the ingredients, I want to be able to show them the information for the right pack. Checking the label is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
| Serving | Check the number of portions, the weight per portion and which types are included. | If I want to serve the sprinkles in separate portions, individual servings are more practical for my set-up. Around 10% of consumers prioritise this way of serving. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a box of portions for a large pack of chocolate sprinkles
According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions weighing 140 g in total, with a selection of different sprinkles. It’s a different option from one shared pack of chocolate sprinkles.
Check both the total weight and the types of sprinkles in the box before deciding how many packs you’ll need.
-
Assuming you know the allergens from the flavour or brand
Albert Heijn lists milk and soya for De Ruijter Royaal extra dark. This information applies to that specific product, not automatically to other packs from the same brand.
Read the current label on each pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for pre-packed products is shown on the label.
-
Assuming a product page means you can order the product
Lidl marks the 600 g pack of Mister Choc dark chocolate sprinkles as available in store only. Other packs may also have different ordering options.
Before the meeting, check how you can get the exact pack you want and have a second option ready.
-
Assuming a claim about one product applies to every pack
According to Albert Heijn, the claim of at least 43% cocoa solids applies to the 390 g pack of De Ruijter Royaal extra dark. It doesn’t tell you the cocoa content of other products.
Always check the label on the exact pack and size you intend to buy.
Brands to consider
De Ruijter
A brand with chocolate sprinkle options in packs of around 390 g, as well as individual Kleintjes portions.
- Albert Heijn lists eight individual portions in its Kleintjes pack.
- Check the weight, types of sprinkles and allergens for each product; Kleintjes is not the same as a pack of chocolate sprinkles.
Venz
A brand whose range at Jumbo includes dark, milk, white and mixed chocolate sprinkles.
- The options shown at Jumbo offer a choice of flavours and pack sizes from 380–400 g.
- Check the weight and ingredients of your chosen product separately.
Jumbo
A supermarket own-brand option, with chocolate sprinkles in 600 g packs.
- Jumbo’s range includes milk, dark and duo options in this size.
- Check which option you can get for your meeting.
Kiekeboe
ALDI’s own brand, with a 600 g pack of dark chocolate sprinkles.
- The listed pack size is suitable if you’re putting out one pack for everyone to share.
- Check which option is available and read the label before buying.
Mister Choc
Lidl lists dark chocolate sprinkles in a 600 g pack.
- The listed pack size offers a large pack for sharing.

Products for the meeting table

Frequently asked questions
How should I store an opened pack of chocolate sprinkles after the meeting?
Follow the instructions on the label of the product you used. For De Ruijter Royaal extra dark, Albert Heijn advises pressing the pack carefully closed after use and storing it in a cool, dry place. Also check the date on the pack.
Where can I find allergen information for attendees?
Check the label on each exact pack and keep the information available when you serve the chocolate sprinkles. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label.
Can I rely on the ingredients listed on a product page I looked at earlier?
When serving, use the label on the pack you actually bought. Check each flavour and product separately, even if the packs are from the same brand.
Can I have a 3-pack or multipack delivered for the meeting?
Check how you can order the exact pack before relying on it. Albert Heijn marked a De Ruijter Familie Hagelslag dark chocolate 3-pack as available in store only; the name of a pack doesn’t, by itself, tell you whether it can be delivered.
