Choose a multipack if you want to stock up on the same chocolate sprinkles for several Easter occasions, a large pack if you’d rather use a single pack, or portions if you want to divide the sprinkles up in advance. Buy the rusks separately, and check the contents, ingredients, allergens and best-before date on the packaging you choose for both products.
If you’re catering for several people or buying chocolate sprinkles for different occasions, it makes a difference whether you bring home three separate packs or one large pack. Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter 3-pack supplied as individual items; Jumbo also offers chocolate sprinkles in 600 g packs. Buy the rusks separately.
If you want to portion out toppings for each lunchbox or place at the table, pre-packed portions are a different option from serving them yourself from a large pack. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as containing eight portions; check which types of topping are included in the mix.
If you eat rusks with chocolate sprinkles regularly or need to consider allergens, compare the labels on both the rusks and the exact variety of sprinkles. Check the ingredients, sugars, saturates, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g or per portion.
First decide how much chocolate sprinkles you want and whether you’ll portion them out yourself. Then choose a flavour, and read the labels on the rusks and sprinkles if ingredients or allergens are important to you.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Stock for several occasions | Check the number of packs, the total quantity and whether a multipack is supplied as individual items. | If I want the same chocolate sprinkles for an Easter brunch and later breakfasts, the pack needs to suit my plans. Having enough in stock is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Portioning | Check the number of portions, the weight per portion and which types of topping are included in a mix. | For a lunchbox or an individual place at the table, I want to portion out the topping without measuring it from a large pack. Ease of portioning matters most to around 27% of consumers. |
| Flavour and variety | Compare the type of chocolate sprinkles with the contents; if it’s a mix, check which varieties are included. | For an Easter breakfast, I want to choose between options such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate and a mix, even if that means not choosing a large pack of just one flavour. Flavour choice comes first for around 20% of consumers. |
| Label and rusks | Read the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, best-before date and storage instructions for both products. | If I serve rusks with chocolate sprinkles regularly or need to avoid an allergen, I want to know what the whole combination contains. Checking the label is the main priority for around 20% of consumers. |
According to Albert Heijn, the De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur 3-pack is supplied as three separate items. This matters if you want to use the packs on different occasions.
For a multipack, check how the items are supplied and check the best-before date on each individual pack.
A portion mix may contain different types of topping. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions in different portion weights.
Check what’s in the mix and read the allergen information for the varieties you plan to use.
Albert Heijn’s product information lists milk and soya as allergens for De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur and includes a warning about possible lactose. So the flavour name alone doesn’t tell you which allergens are in a particular pack.
If you need to avoid an allergen, always check the label on the exact variety.
According to the Voedingscentrum, bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt. So a general statement about iodine in baker’s salt doesn’t tell you what a particular rusk contains.
Read the ingredients on the rusks you choose, or ask which ingredients are used if you’re buying them unpackaged.
Worth considering if you want to compare a 3-pack of one flavour with a pack of small portions.
Worth considering if you want to choose a flavour and pack size together.
Worth considering if you’re looking for a large pack of chocolate sprinkles.
