Which size is right for you?

For hosts topping lots of rusks

If you’re serving the same flavour to a larger group, the pack’s net weight is a useful way to compare options. Jumbo lists chocolate sprinkles in packs of 600 g, among other sizes.

For parents who want to hand out portions

Individual packs are handy if you want to give each child a portion or save some for lunchboxes. Albert Heijn lists eight small portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes.

For hosts with guests who have food allergies

If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, check the label on the exact variant you’ve bought before serving it. Don’t assume that two flavours contain the same allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you mainly want to top lots of rusks or hand out portions. Consider a mixed-flavour pack separately, as one mixed pack doesn’t provide individual portions.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity Compare the net weight and decide how many rusks you want to top. If I’m serving the same flavour to lots of guests, I want to be able to serve enough chocolate sprinkles; quantity comes first for around 50% of consumers.
Sharing and variety Check whether the pack contains individual portions or just one bag of mixed flavours. If I want to give guests something to take home after the party, individual portions make it easier to share. Around 30% of consumers give this—or flavour variety—their highest priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of each variant you choose. If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know which chocolate sprinkles I can serve; checking the label is the first consideration for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large bag is a multipack

    A 600 g bag contains plenty of chocolate sprinkles, but it doesn’t give you individually wrapped portions to hand out.

    Depending on whether you want to give portions out after the party, check if you’re buying one pack or individual portions.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s available

    Albert Heijn lists the Venz chocolate sprinkles multipack as no longer in the range. So, the pack details don’t mean you can order it there.

    Check availability before planning to use this pack for the party. If you choose an alternative, compare the size and ingredients again.

  • Assuming all flavours contain the same allergens

    For De Ruijter Hagelfeest, Albert Heijn lists milk, soya, wheat and cereals containing gluten, among other ingredients. This doesn’t tell you what’s in a different variant.

    Read the label on every pack you buy, and keep products a guest needs to avoid separate from the other options.

Brands to compare

De Ruijter

Kleintjes offers small portions to hand out, while Hagelfeest is a mixed-flavour pack.

  • Albert Heijn lists eight portions for Kleintjes and a 390 g pack for Hagelfeest.
  • Hagelfeest doesn’t contain individual sachets. Check the allergens for the variant you choose.

Venz

A brand to consider if you’re choosing between milk and dark chocolate sprinkles.

  • Jumbo lists Venz milk and dark chocolate variants in 400 g packs.
  • Albert Heijn lists the Venz chocolate sprinkles multipack as no longer in the range; check availability separately.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists its own-brand chocolate sprinkles in 600 g packs, in milk, dark and duo varieties, for anyone who wants to portion them out themselves.

  • The 600 g size gives you one larger pack instead of several small portions.
  • The bags aren’t individually portioned; check the ingredients for each variant.

Frequently asked questions

For a birthday party, is a large bag or a pack of individual portions more practical?

A large bag is a good choice if you’re topping lots of rusks with the same flavour yourself. Individual portions are better if you want to hand them out or save some for lunchboxes. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight small portions.

How many portions does De Ruijter Hagelfeest contain?

Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Hagelfeest as a 390 g pack containing 19 portions of 20 g. This portion count doesn’t tell you how many rusks you can top; that depends on how much chocolate sprinkles you use per rusk.

Should I check the allergens in chocolate sprinkles for guests?

Yes, especially if a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients. Check the label on the exact variant you’ve bought. For De Ruijter Hagelfeest, Albert Heijn lists milk, soya, wheat and cereals containing gluten, among other ingredients; don’t assume other chocolate sprinkles have the same ingredients.
