Match watchers shopping for a group
If you’ll be making sandwiches on match day and again later, you can choose between two separate packs and one shared supply. Albert Heijn lists a Venz 2-pack, while Jumbo also offers some larger packs.
Which size is right for you?
Parents preparing lunchboxes
Pre-measured portions can make it easier to divide the sprinkles between lunchboxes. Albert Heijn lists 20 g De Ruijter portions, but says this pack is only available in store.
Viewers who want to share a variety of flavours
If not everyone wants the same flavour, a mixed pack could be a good fit. Jumbo lists a De Ruijter mix of dark chocolate and vanilla; check the current label before serving, especially if anyone needs to avoid certain allergens.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you need separate packs, one shared supply or portions divided up in advance. A flavour mix answers a different question: which flavours you’d like to share.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Supplies for a group | Compare the number of separate packs and the contents of each; a 2-pack is different from one large pack. | If I’m making sandwiches for several people, I want to be able to open another pack at a later mealtime. For around 40% of consumers, having enough for a group is the top priority. |
| Dividing portions in advance | Check whether the portions are individually wrapped and how many grams each one contains. | When filling lunchboxes, I want to be able to portion out the sprinkles in advance. Portion control comes first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Variety of flavours | Check whether you get several flavours in one pack or several separate packs; read the ingredients and allergen information on the label. | When guests want different flavours, I look for variety without having to choose a separate pack for each one. For around 30% of consumers, variety is the top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a 2-pack for individually wrapped portions
Albert Heijn says the Venz Dark Chocolate 2-pack comes as two separate items. These are separate packs, not a set of small portion packs.
Before buying, check how many packs you’ll receive and how many grams each one contains.
-
Mistaking a flavour mix for a multipack
The De Ruijter mix listed by Jumbo combines dark chocolate and vanilla in one 390 g pack. So, in this case, a variety of flavours doesn’t mean you’ll have a second pack in reserve.
Choose according to what you need: several flavours in one pack or separate packs for different mealtimes.
-
Guessing allergens from the flavour name
Jumbo lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and wheat for the De Ruijter mix. Albert Heijn warns that product information can change.
Read the label on the pack you’re actually serving before sharing the sprinkles with anyone who needs to avoid certain allergens.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 2-pack the same as one large pack of chocolate sprinkles?
No, the difference is the number of separate packs. Albert Heijn lists Venz Dark Chocolate Sprinkles as two separate 400 g packs, while the 600 g own-brand pack listed by Jumbo is a single pack.
Are individual portions useful for lunchboxes?
Individual portions are a good fit if you want to divide the sprinkles between lunchboxes in advance. Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter pack containing 120 portions of 20 g, which is only available in store; check whether it suits the way you want to shop.
Should I check allergens again if I often buy the same brand?
Yes, read the label on the pack you’re going to use. Albert Heijn notes that ingredients and allergen information can change, so don’t rely only on a pack you bought previously.
How should I store chocolate sprinkles after the match?
Follow the storage advice on the specific pack. For the De Ruijter dark chocolate and vanilla mix listed by Jumbo, the advice is to store in a cool, dry place.
