For a group, 600 g is a sensible choice if you want plenty of sprinkles in one pack. If you have a particular flavour or brand in mind, packs of around 380–400 g are also worth considering. Use this comparison for sprinkles added as a topping after baking, not as a basis for using them in oliebollen batter or during frying. If you’re buying for guests, check the label on the exact pack for allergen information.
If you’re serving oliebollen to several people, you’ll want to know how much topping comes in a pack. Jumbo and ALDI list 600 g packs of chocolate sprinkles, while Jumbo also lists branded varieties in packs of around 380–400 g.
You may prefer dark, milk or white chocolate, or a mix. The Venz and De Ruijter range listed by Jumbo includes several of these varieties and pack sizes.
Allergen information varies by product. Albert Heijn lists milk and lactose for AH dark chocolate sprinkles; Jumbo lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and wheat for De Ruijter Dark and Vanilla Mix Chocolate Sprinkles. So check the pack for the variety you choose.
Choose a pack size to suit your group, pick the flavour you want, and check the label before buying if you need to take specific allergens into account.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the net weight and check whether a multipack contains separate packs. | When I’m putting sprinkles out for a group, I want to be able to use plenty from one pack. This is the top priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Flavour and appearance | Choose between options such as dark, milk or white chocolate, or a mix; also check the stated shape of the sprinkles. | When serving, I want to choose a topping that suits the group’s taste. Around 33% of consumers give this choice the most attention. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. | If guests need to avoid certain allergens, I want to know what the chosen variety contains first. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label comes first. |
According to Albert Heijn, the Venz Dark Chocolate Sprinkles 2-pack contains two separate 400 g packs. That’s different from one pack to use while serving.
If you’re looking for a larger pack to sprinkle from, check both the weight per pack and the number of packs.
A product sold as a bread topping or decoration isn’t automatically intended to be mixed into oliebollen batter or fried.
If you want to use chocolate sprinkles in the batter rather than on top of the oliebollen, follow guidance specifically for that use.
Allergen information varies between varieties: AH Dark Chocolate Sprinkles and De Ruijter Dark and Vanilla Mix Chocolate Sprinkles don’t have the same allergen information.
Read the current label on the pack you’re buying, even if you’ve used a similar variety before.
Jumbo lists own-brand chocolate sprinkles in 600 g packs, including a dark chocolate variety and a duo mix.
ALDI lists Kiekeboe dark chocolate sprinkles and a chocolate sprinkle mix in 600 g packs.

Albert Heijn lists AH Dark Chocolate Sprinkles as a 400 g own-brand product.
These products are options for sprinkling on after baking: chocolate sprinkles in 600 g or 390 g packs, and fruit sprinkles in a 400 g pack. Fruit sprinkles aren’t chocolate sprinkles.

No, beschuit met hagelslag describes a food combination, not a pack size. Jumbo and Albert Heijn classify chocolate sprinkles as a bread topping; if you’re catering for a group, check the net weight of the sprinkles themselves.
Follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the pack you choose. De Ruijter’s product information says to store in a cool, dry place; for De Ruijter fruit sprinkles, Joybuy also says to keep the pack tightly closed after opening.
