Choose individual sachets if you want pre-portioned servings and a choice of different sprinkles for Sunday breakfast. The De Ruijter and Jumbo mini assortments each contain eight portions, but not all of them are chocolate flakes. If you only want milk or dark chocolate flakes, a standard box is a better fit; you can measure out the amount yourself.
If you’d rather not sprinkle from a large box, individual sachets let you see how much you’re getting upfront. De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight sachets: four of 15 g and four of 20 g. Jumbo Strooi Mini’s contains eight portions.
A mini assortment lets everyone choose from more than one variety without opening several boxes. The De Ruijter and Jumbo assortments combine chocolate flakes with hundreds and other sprinkles.
If you want flakes in every sachet, a mixed mini assortment won’t be right for you. A standard box lets you choose one type of chocolate, although you’ll need to measure out each portion yourself.
Choose this if: you want individual portions and a choice of sprinkles for one breakfast.
Keep in mind: not every sachet contains chocolate flakes; the assortments also include hundreds or other sprinkles.
Choose this if: you only want milk or dark flakes and are happy to measure out the amount yourself.
Keep in mind: a standard box doesn’t contain individually wrapped portions.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the number of sachets and the weight of each one: in De Ruijter Kleintjes, four sachets weigh 15 g and four weigh 20 g. | I want to choose the amount before sprinkling, without measuring it out of a box. An estimated 50% of consumers say that pre-portioned servings are a priority for them. |
| Ingredients and type of flakes | Check which types of sprinkles are included. If you have allergies, check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging. | If I only want flakes made from one type of chocolate, the contents need to match; allergens may further limit my choice. An estimated 25% of consumers say these ingredients are their main consideration. |
| Variety | Check what’s in each sachet: the De Ruijter and Jumbo mini assortments contain both chocolate flakes and other types of sprinkles. | When several people at the table want different things, I’d rather choose a pack with a variety of sprinkles. An estimated 25% of consumers say variety is their top priority. |
De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini’s also contain other types of sprinkles. This means some of the sachets may not be what you want to serve at the table.
Check the contents of each variety before choosing. If you only want flakes, choose a standard box in your preferred type of chocolate.
A label describing the type of chocolate or ingredients doesn’t tell you by itself which allergens may be present. PLUS Chocoladevlokken Puur, for example, is labelled vegan but may contain milk and lactose.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, check the allergen information on the current packaging, even if the product name seems suitable.
