Choose a multipack of chocolate sprinkles if you want to split the stock between gaming nights or lunchboxes. A large single pack is a better fit when everyone will be helping themselves from the same supply. Either way, you’ll need to buy the rusks separately; according to its product page, Jumbo’s ready-made Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk is no longer in its online range.
You want to have enough chocolate sprinkles and rusks ready for everyone. Compare the total weight of a multipack with that of one large pack, and consider whether you want to split the stock between several evenings.
You want to be able to take chocolate sprinkles along for individual snack breaks. A multipack with separate packs makes it easier to divide up the supply, but you’ll still need to pack the rusks separately.
You want to decide how much chocolate sprinkles to use on each rusk and check the nutritional information on the pack you choose. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 9.4 g of sugars in an average 15 g portion of chocolate sprinkles; the figures for a specific product may vary.
First decide whether you want to divide up the chocolate sprinkles or serve them from one pack. Then check how many rusks you’ll need and read the label on both products.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and packaging | Compare the number of packs, the weight of each pack and the total weight. Check whether you need to buy the rusks separately. | When I’m stocking up for a gaming night, I want to know whether one large pack will be enough or whether I’d rather split the supply between several evenings. Around 46% of consumers put this choice first. |
| Dividing up and taking along | Check whether the multipack contains separate packs and how you can take the rusks along separately. | For my lunchbox, I want to be able to take chocolate sprinkles without spreading them on the rusks in advance. Dividing them up is the main concern for around 27% of consumers. |
| Portions and labels | Read the nutritional information per 100 g or per portion, and check the ingredients and allergens in both products. | For a sweet snack, I want to be able to measure out the amount of chocolate sprinkles; if allergens are a concern for me, I also need to check the labels. Around 27% of consumers prioritise checking portions and labels. |
Jumbo says that Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk is no longer in its online range. That page, then, isn’t a suitable basis for planning snacks for an upcoming gaming night.
Choose an available pack of chocolate sprinkles and buy the rusks separately, or check the current product page for a ready-made option shortly before placing your order.
Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur 3-pack as three separate 200 g packs. That’s 600 g in total, but it’s easier to divide up than one 600 g pack.
Compare both the total weight and the number of individual packs, then choose the format that suits your snack occasions.
Having more chocolate sprinkles in the cupboard doesn’t tell you how much you’ll use on each rusk. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, an average 15 g portion of chocolate sprinkles contains 67 kcal and 9.4 g of sugars; these figures don’t apply to every individual brand.
Decide how much you want to use and read the nutritional information on the pack you choose.
The name ‘rusks with chocolate sprinkles’ doesn’t tell you which allergens or ingredients are in the two products you choose. Nor can you tell from the name whether a particular type of rusk was made with baker’s salt.
Read the current label on both the rusks and the chocolate sprinkles. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority points out that allergens must be listed on the labels of pre-packed foods.
Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Specials hagelslag Intens Puur as a 3-pack containing three 200 g packs.
Jumbo lists, among other options, its own-brand chocolate sprinkles in a 600 g pack and a set with four varieties.
Jumbo lists Venz Melk Chocolade Hagelslag in a 400 g pack.
No. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur 3-pack as three separate 200 g packs of chocolate sprinkles. You buy the rusks separately and put the snack together yourself. Jumbo says that its ready-made Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk is no longer in its online range.
Compare both the total weight and the number of separate packs. Three 200 g packs contain the same total amount of chocolate sprinkles as one 600 g pack, but you can divide up a 3-pack as separate items. Also check that the flavour and the number of rusks you’ll need suit your plans.
Check the current labels on both the rusks and the chocolate sprinkles for allergens; don’t guess from the product names. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be listed on the labels of pre-packed foods.
No. The product name doesn’t tell you which salt was used in a particular type of rusk. Check the ingredients list on the exact pack you want to buy, and read the chocolate sprinkles label separately too.
