Who might find a larger pack useful?

A larger pack is most practical when you know how many people are eating and what you’ll do with any chocolate sprinkles left over.

Anyone organising a shared breakfast

For a brunch, family breakfast or other group occasion, you may not want to buy several small packs. Jumbo divides its reviewed 600 g packs into 30 servings of 20 g. How much you need depends on the number of people eating and how much they sprinkle on their rusks.

Buying for a group with different tastes

If not everyone has the same preference, choosing between milk chocolate sprinkles, dark chocolate sprinkles and a mix makes a difference. Jumbo describes its reviewed duo pack as a mixture of chocolate sprinkles and white sprinkles; it doesn’t give each person their own flavour.

Anyone checking labels for everyone eating

For a shared breakfast, you’ll need to consider the ingredients and allergens in the exact variety. For example, the reviewed products differ in whether milk is listed as an ingredient or as a possible presence. The flavour name alone doesn’t tell you this.

What should you consider when choosing?

First, work out how much chocolate sprinkles you expect to use for the occasion and afterwards. Then compare the flavour and the label, and check just before ordering that rusks can be delivered with them.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it’s most relevant to
Quantity Check the pack weight and stated serving size. Also work out how many rusks you’ll need for the group. When I’m buying for several people, I want enough chocolate sprinkles without being left with a large pack of leftovers; around 36% of consumers put quantity first.
Flavour Choose between milk chocolate, dark chocolate or a mix, depending on what the group would like. A mix isn’t the same as offering two separate flavours. When people around the table have different preferences, I want to know whether one flavour will suit the group; around 21% of consumers put flavour choice first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and check both the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements on the label of the exact variety. If someone eating needs to avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to rely on the name ‘dark’; around 29% of consumers prioritise this check.
Storage and delivery Check the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack you receive. Check your basket to see whether both rusks and chocolate sprinkles are available for your address. When planning a breakfast, I want to store the pack properly and avoid discovering an item is missing only when I place the order; around 14% of consumers say this is their main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Looking only at the pack size

    A 600 g pack isn’t automatically the right amount for one occasion. The 30 servings of 20 g listed by Jumbo for the reviewed varieties are a guide on the pack; people may use more or less.

    Choose an amount to suit the number of people eating, and think about whether you’ll use the rest later. Also check how many rusks you’ll need.

  • Assuming ‘dark’ means dairy-free

    Jumbo states that its reviewed 600 g dark chocolate sprinkles may contain milk. So, if someone needs to avoid milk, the flavour name is no substitute for checking the allergen information.

    Read the statements on the pack of the variety you’ve chosen and check that they meet the needs of the person concerned.

  • Assuming information about baker’s salt applies to chocolate sprinkles

    Voedingscentrum discusses added iodine in connection with baker’s salt and bread, among other things. This doesn’t tell you anything about the iodine content of chocolate sprinkles on rusks.

    Choose chocolate sprinkles based on the ingredients and flavour of the product itself; don’t treat information about bread as a property of the topping.

  • Assuming a product page means it can be delivered

    A product appearing in an online catalogue doesn’t mean you can order it for your delivery address. You’ll also need both chocolate sprinkles and rusks for this breakfast.

    Check both items and the delivery slot in your basket before completing your order.

Brands and ranges to help you choose

These examples can help you compare pack sizes and varieties; a range mentioned here doesn’t indicate which products are currently available for your address.

Jumbo

Jumbo has reviewed own-brand 600 g varieties in milk chocolate, dark chocolate and duo.

  • Jumbo lists 30 servings of 20 g for these packs. According to Jumbo, the duo variety is half chocolate sprinkles and half white sprinkles.
  • The allergen statements differ: the reviewed milk chocolate variety contains milk, while the dark chocolate and duo varieties may contain milk. Check the label of the flavour you choose.

De Ruijter

The reviewed Royaal extra dark chocolate sprinkles come in a 390 g pack, for anyone looking for this size and variety.

  • Albert Heijn states that De Ruijter Royaal extra dark specifically contains at least 43% cocoa solids.
  • According to Albert Heijn, this Royaal variety contains milk and soya. Don’t assume that the ingredients or cocoa content are the same for other De Ruijter varieties.

Venz

Venz offers varieties where the shape of the sprinkles or a flavour combination may influence your choice.

  • Jumbo describes the reviewed 380 g Venz XXL dark variety as chocolate sprinkles with extra-large pieces.
  • Check the size and ingredients of each Venz variety: an XXL description doesn’t tell you what’s in another pack or what its ingredients are.

Albert Heijn

The reviewed range includes AH XL chocolate sprinkles and a Venz dark chocolate 2-pack, alongside individual varieties from other brands.

  • According to Albert Heijn, the reviewed Venz dark chocolate 2-pack is supplied as separate items; bear this in mind if you want to use the packs individually.
  • Albert Heijn points out that ingredients and allergen information can change. So also check the label on the products you receive.

Chocolate sprinkles for sharing

These Joybuy products include milk chocolate sprinkles, dark chocolate sprinkles and a milk and vanilla variety, in packs ranging from 380 g to 600 g. Choose a size to suit the number of people eating and whether you’ll use any after breakfast; order rusks separately if you need them too.

g'woon milk chocolate sprinkles with smiley faces, 600 g

g'woon milk chocolate sprinkles with smiley faces, 600 g

A 600 g pack if you want to serve milk chocolate sprinkles to several people or use them again later. Check the ingredients and allergens on the label you receive; don’t use the serving count for a different product to estimate how much you’ll need.

Venz Bear Milk Vanilla Sprinkles, 380 g

Venz Bear Milk Vanilla Sprinkles, 380 g

A milk and vanilla variety for a group that enjoys this flavour combination, in a 380 g pack. That’s less than the reviewed 600 g packs; check that the size and ingredients suit everyone eating.

g'woon milk chocolate sprinkles with smiley faces, 550 g

g'woon milk chocolate sprinkles with smiley faces, 550 g

If you’re looking for milk chocolate sprinkles with smiley faces but don’t want a 600 g pack, this variety contains 550 g. Check the label for ingredients and allergens before choosing it for the whole group.

De Ruijter dark chocolate sprinkles, 390 g

De Ruijter dark chocolate sprinkles, 390 g

A 390 g pack if you want to serve dark chocolate sprinkles and need less than 600 g. Joybuy lists milk and soya as allergens for this variety, so ‘dark’ doesn’t mean dairy-free here. This isn’t the same variety as De Ruijter Royaal extra dark.

View at Joybuy
g'woon dark chocolate sprinkles, 400 g

g'woon dark chocolate sprinkles, 400 g

A 400 g dark chocolate variety if the group prefers that flavour and a smaller pack than 600 g will be enough. If you have dietary requirements, read the ingredients and allergen information for this exact variety; the word ‘dark’ isn’t enough.

Frequently asked questions

How many servings is 600 g of chocolate sprinkles intended for?

Jumbo divides each of the three reviewed 600 g packs into 30 servings of 20 g. This is a planning guide, not a set number of rusks or breakfasts: how much is used varies from person to person.

Are dark chocolate sprinkles always dairy-free?

No. Jumbo states that its reviewed 600 g dark chocolate variety may contain milk, and Joybuy lists milk in the allergens for the 390 g De Ruijter dark chocolate sprinkles. Check the allergen information on the exact pack.

How should I store an opened large pack of chocolate sprinkles?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you receive and seal it well after use. The reviewed products are described as needing to be stored in a cool, dry place; check the best-before date on the pack itself.

Does iodine in baker’s salt tell me anything about chocolate sprinkles on rusks?

No, you can’t apply that information to chocolate sprinkles. Voedingscentrum discusses added iodine in baker’s salt and bread, among other things; check the labels of the rusks and chocolate sprinkles for their own ingredients.

How can I tell whether rusks and chocolate sprinkles can be delivered together?

Check both items in your basket using your delivery address and chosen delivery slot. A product page being visible doesn’t in itself confirm that both products are available in the same order.
