Which option is right for you?

Hosts buying for a group

If several neighbours will be using the chocolate sprinkles, think about how much you’ll put out and whether you’ll finish an opened pack later. Jumbo, ALDI and Lidl list larger packs in their ranges.

Anyone looking for a small amount

For a solo treat or serving people individually, the number of portions matters more than the word ‘portion’ on its own. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions in one pack.

Guests with ingredient or allergen requirements

If you’re sharing, the exact variant needs to be suitable for the person eating it. Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack just before serving.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how much chocolate sprinkles you need and what you’ll do with the rest. Then choose a flavour or portion format, and check the label if you’ll be sharing.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Amount for sharing Check the net weight and consider whether you’ll use any leftovers later. If I’m putting out chocolate sprinkles for several neighbours, I want enough without ending up with a pack that sits unused. This is the biggest consideration for around 42% of consumers.
Small amount or individual portions Check the total weight and number of portions; a portion pack may be a multipack. For one occasion, I want a limited amount or portions I can hand out individually. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this.
Flavour for the table Decide whether you want milk, dark, a mix or a particular flavour variant. If I want to give guests a choice, flavour matters more than the size of a standard pack. Around 17% of consumers prioritise this.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack. When I share chocolate sprinkles with others, I want to know what’s in the variant I’m serving. Around 16% of consumers put this check first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a portion pack is a single bar

    Chocolate sprinkles are a sprinkle-on bread topping; a pack of portions isn’t automatically a single snack for one person. Albert Heijn lists eight portions in a 140 g pack of De Ruijter Kleintjes, and 120 portions of 20 g in another portion pack.

    Check the total weight and number of portions before choosing, and consider whether you’ll use or hand out the remaining portions.

  • Assuming dark chocolate sprinkles contain no milk or soya

    The ingredients listed by Albert Heijn for De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur include milk fat and soya lecithin. The listing also says that milk protein and lactose may be present.

    Don’t rely on the flavour name: check the current label on the exact variant before offering the chocolate sprinkles to guests.

  • Relying on an outdated product listing

    The ingredients in the pack you buy determine what you serve; a product page you viewed earlier is no substitute for the label.

    When buying or taking delivery, check the ingredients, allergens and best-before date on the pack.

Frequently asked questions

Is a portion pack of chocolate sprinkles a single bar?

No, the portion packs mentioned contain several portions of sprinkle-on chocolate topping. Albert Heijn lists eight portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes and 120 portions of 20 g for another De Ruijter pack. Check the number of portions if you only need a small amount.

How do I choose a pack size for a neighbourhood get-together?

Choose a pack that suits the number of people using the chocolate sprinkles and what you’ll do with any leftovers. Check the net weight; a large pack is less practical if the contents will go unused afterwards.

Should I check for allergens if I’m sharing chocolate sprinkles?

Yes, read the allergen information on the exact pack you’re serving. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority points to the declaration of allergens in the ingredients list; don’t assume what’s in a product based only on a description such as ‘dark’.

How should I store chocolate sprinkles left over after the get-together?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you bought. Jumbo says De Ruijter Hagelslag Mix Puur en Vanille should be stored in a cool, dry place.
