Take chocolate sprinkles with you only as a topping for something like a packed sandwich: the chocolate sprinkle products described are not bars you can eat on their own. A small portion is more convenient than a regular pack if you want sandwich filling for one occasion. If you want to eat straight from the pack without any preparation, look for a snack bar and check its ingredients, portion size and allergens.
You’re looking for a small portion of chocolate sprinkles to put on your sandwich, not a bar to eat on its own. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains individual portions of 15 g and 20 g.
You don’t want to need bread or anything else to put the food on while you’re out. Chocolate sprinkles won’t meet your need for a ready-to-eat bar, so consider a snack bar as a separate product and check its portion size and label.
You want to know exactly what’s in the variety you’ve chosen. Ingredients and allergens can vary between toppings, so check the current packaging before taking it with you.
First decide whether you want a ready-to-eat bar or chocolate sprinkles to take with you for bread. Then check the portion size and the information on the label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to eat | If you want a bar, look beyond the chocolate sprinkle category; check the portion size and ingredients of the bar you choose. | If I want to eat something without bread or a bowl, I need a snack I can eat straight from the pack. For around 40% of consumers, being ready to eat is the top priority. |
| Convenient portions | Compare the number of portions and the weight of each one; a box with lots of portions isn’t the same as one snack. | If I’ve already packed a sandwich, I only want to take a small amount of topping with me. For around 30% of consumers, portion convenience is the main consideration. |
| Label and drinks | Read the ingredients, allergens and portion size on the pack you choose; also think about what you’ll take to drink. | When I plan food and drink for a trip, I want to know what’s in the variety I’ve chosen. Around 30% of consumers give this check the highest priority. |
Chocolate sprinkles are a topping or sandwich filling. If you want to eat something without bread or another base, this type of product won’t meet your need for a bar.
Before you start looking, decide whether you need sandwich filling for a meal you’re taking with you or a snack you can eat straight away.
A regular pack contains more chocolate sprinkles than you need for one sandwich. By contrast, De Ruijter Kleintjes lists individual portions of 15 g and 20 g.
Compare the weight per portion with the total contents and think about how many occasions you’re planning for.
A mixed pack of portions may contain toppings with different ingredients and allergens. So the product name alone won’t tell you enough about every individual variety.
Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the topping you want to use.
Alongside its regular chocolate sprinkles, De Ruijter also offers Kleintjes. Albert Heijn lists eight individual portions in that pack: four of 15 g and four of 20 g.

No, the chocolate sprinkle products described are toppings for bread or another base, not bars to eat on their own. If you want to eat straight from the pack, choose a snack bar and check its label separately.
An individual small portion may suit you if you want to take the sandwich and chocolate sprinkles separately. Albert Heijn lists eight portions of 15 g or 20 g for De Ruijter Kleintjes; check how many portions you actually need.
Yes. With a mixed pack, check the ingredients and allergen information for the specific topping you’re using. The varieties may differ, so read the current packaging rather than relying on the product name alone.
Take food that suits the walk you’re planning, and don’t forget a drink. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre suggests options such as a packed lunch with filled sandwiches or fruit for the journey, and recommends water as a drink; chocolate sprinkles can only be one part of what you take with you.
