Who is this useful for?

Small gatherings

If you want to serve a limited amount of chocolate sprinkles separately, you could consider individual portions. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as small, individual portions.

Shoppers catering for several people

If you want to share chocolate sprinkles with several people, compare larger packs with the amount you’re likely to use. Jumbo and ALDI Netherlands each list a 600 g option.

Shoppers comparing ingredients

If the flavour, ingredients or nutritional information matter to you, the label on the exact product is more useful than a general brand description.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how you want to serve the chocolate sprinkles and how much you need. Then compare the flavour and the information on the packaging.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Packaging and serving Check the packaging material and decide whether you want individual portions or your own food-safe serving jar. When I put a small sweet addition on the table, I want to know how guests can help themselves. Around 46% of consumers prioritise the packaging and serving method.
Flavour and cocoa Compare the flavour and cocoa percentage, but only if this information is given for the exact product. The chocolate flavour I’m looking for determines which sprinkles I choose. Flavour and cocoa are the top priority for around 27% of consumers.
Quantity Compare the net weight and number of portions with the amount you want to serve. If several people want to use chocolate sprinkles, I want to serve enough without having lots left over. Quantity is the top priority for around 18% of consumers.
Ingredients and portions Read the current ingredients, allergen and nutritional information for your chosen variety, and decide how much you want to serve. I want to know what’s in the chocolate sprinkles I’ve chosen before putting them on the table. Ingredients and portion size matter most to around 9% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a search result guarantees a glass jar

    An image or search term doesn’t confirm the material of the packaging you’ll receive. This matters if you want to put the packaging itself on the table.

    Check the current product listing and packaging for an explicit statement about the material. Using your own clean, food-safe glass jar is another way to serve it.

  • Choosing a large pack for a small occasion

    A 600 g pack may contain more chocolate sprinkles than you want to open for a small gathering.

    Choose a quantity that suits the number of people and compare it with individual portions.

    With a large pack, you may have more left over to store afterwards.

  • Assuming the label for one variety applies to the whole brand

    Ingredients vary between varieties. For example, the product information for De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur lists milk fat and soya lecithin; this doesn’t tell you anything about other De Ruijter varieties.

    Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you’ll actually be using.

  • Presenting chocolate sprinkles as an accompaniment to fish

    Chocolate sprinkles are described as a topping for bread and an ingredient in sweet dishes, among other uses, but not as a pairing with fish.

    If you’d still like to offer something sweet, serve the chocolate sprinkles separately and don’t present them as part of the fish dish.

Brands to compare

De Ruijter

The varieties listed include individual portions, larger packs and an intense dark chocolate flavour.

  • Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as individual portions and Specials Intens Puur as containing at least 52% cocoa solids.
  • Check the packaging material and current label for each variety. A cocoa percentage alone doesn’t tell you about the rest of its nutritional content.

Venz

Venz is worth considering if you want to compare a combination of flavours as well as a single chocolate flavour.

  • Jumbo lists Venz Zebra, with dark chocolate and vanilla flavour, in a 380 g pack.
  • Check the current packaging if you want to serve the chocolate sprinkles directly from a glass jar.

Jumbo

The supermarket’s own brand offers different pack sizes, making it easier to compare quantities.

  • The Jumbo range mentioned includes chocolate sprinkle packs of 200 g, 380 g and 600 g.
  • Before serving your chosen variety out of its packaging, check how it’s packaged.

Mister CHOC

This Lidl brand is worth a look if you’re after a large pack of dark chocolate sprinkles.

  • Lidl Netherlands lists Mister CHOC dark chocolate sprinkles in a 600 g pack.
  • If you want to serve them in glass, check the packaging material of the product you choose.

Kiekeboe

This ALDI own-brand offers a dark chocolate variety that you can compare with other packs for flavour and quantity.

  • ALDI Netherlands lists Kiekeboe dark chocolate sprinkles in a 600 g pack.
  • The pack size alone doesn’t tell you whether the packaging is suitable for serving at the table as a glass jar.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if chocolate sprinkles come in a glass jar?

Check whether the current product listing or packaging explicitly states that it’s made of glass. If the table presentation is what matters most, you can also serve the chocolate sprinkles in your own clean, food-safe glass jar.

Do chocolate sprinkles go with a fish dinner?

Chocolate sprinkles aren’t established as an accompaniment to a fish dish. If you like, you can offer them separately from the fish as a sweet addition.

When are individual portions more convenient than a large pack?

Individual portions suit a small amount that you want to serve separately; a large pack is an option if several people will be using chocolate sprinkles. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as small portions, while Jumbo and ALDI Netherlands also list 600 g varieties.

Can I use the allergen information for one variety of chocolate sprinkles for another product?

No. Check the current label for the exact variety. The product information for De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur lists milk fat and soya lecithin, but that recipe doesn’t automatically apply to other varieties.
