Which option is right for you?

Parents who want to hand out treats straight away

Individual, sealed portions save you weighing out the contents when filling party bags. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar is an option if chocolate strands and fruit sprinkles are welcome too, and you don’t need every bag to contain chocolate sprinkles alone.

Parents who want to make up their own portions

If you want to hand out only chocolate sprinkles or decide how much goes in each bag, you can portion out a standard pack. Just bear in mind that this takes time and you’ll need separate bags or pots.

Parents checking school policies and allergens

If you’re preparing treats for school, it’s best to check the school’s policy first. Also check the current ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack you’ll be handing out, especially if it contains a mix of different toppings.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide whether you want each bag to contain a sealed portion or whether you’d rather measure out the chocolate sprinkles yourself. Then check that the contents are suitable for the school’s policy and the recipients.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Portions and ease of handing out Check how many individual portions there are, the weight of each portion and which toppings they contain. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar as containing four 15 g portions and four 20 g portions. If I want to fill bags quickly, I don’t want to weigh out a portion for every child. For around 42% of consumers, having portions pre-measured is a top priority.
School policies and allergens Check the current school policy on treats and read the ingredients, allergens and warnings on the pack you’ve bought. When I’m handing out treats at school, I want to know in advance whether they’re allowed and whether all the recipients can have what’s inside. Around 33% of consumers say this is their top priority.
Personal taste and portion size Choose the type of chocolate sprinkles you want and decide how much to put in each bag. Make sure you have suitable packaging too. If I want to hand out chocolate sprinkles alone, I’d rather make up small portions myself, even if it takes some preparation. Having that choice matters most to around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘Kleintjes’ means mini chocolate sprinkles only

    According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains chocolate sprinkles as well as chocolate strands and fruit sprinkles. So an individual portion doesn’t necessarily contain chocolate sprinkles alone.

    Check the contents before choosing this pack for a treat where you want to hand out chocolate sprinkles only.

  • Treating a standard pack as ready-made portions

    A standard 200 g pack lets you portion out small amounts yourself, but it isn’t the same as individually sealed portions.

    Decide in advance how many bags you’ll be filling and how much chocolate sprinkle to put in each one.

    Allow time to portion everything out, and make sure you have separate bags or pots.

  • Waiting until after you buy to check the school’s policy

    According to the Voedingscentrum and VOO, schools can set their own policies on treats. So a product that seems suitable at home may not be allowed at school.

    Before you buy, ask the school or teacher what the policy is for that class.

  • Guessing the allergens from the brand name or flavour

    If a pack contains a variety of toppings, check the information for everything in it, not just the ingredient you want to hand out.

    Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve bought. Where necessary, check with parents and the school before handing the treats out.

Brands to consider

De Ruijter

Worth considering if you’re comparing standard chocolate sprinkles with a pack of individual portions.

  • According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains eight individual portions, including portions with chocolate sprinkles.
  • The same pack also contains chocolate strands and fruit sprinkles, so it isn’t a pack of mini portions containing chocolate sprinkles alone.

Venz

Worth considering if you want to portion out a Rimboe variety of standard chocolate sprinkles for party bags.

  • Jumbo lists Venz Rimboe sprinkles in 200 g packs, including crocodile and tiger sprinkles.
  • If you want individual small portions for party bags, you’ll need to decide how to portion and pack them yourself.

Choca

Worth considering if you want to portion out standard chocolate sprinkles or a mix for party bags yourself.

  • Jumbo lists Choca Vlokken and Choca Vlokken mix in 200 g packs.
  • If you portion them out yourself, you’ll need separate packaging and can choose how much goes in each bag.

Chocolate sprinkles to portion yourself

These 200 g packs are suited to portioning out small amounts of chocolate sprinkles for party bags yourself. If you want to hand out individual sealed portions, check how the product is packaged.
