Want a little chocolate sprinkles after a stamppot dinner? Start by looking at small, individually portioned packs. A standard pack of dark chocolate sprinkles is a better choice if you’ll use them again later. Choose an intensely dark variety if the stated cocoa content matters more to you than pack size. Chocolate sprinkles are a topping, not an individual chocolate bar, so check how many sachets come in a multipack.
You want a measured amount or a bit of variety, without opening a large pack for just one occasion. Albert Heijn lists eight individual portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes, so that’s several uses rather than one single bar.
You’re looking for dark chocolate sprinkles that you can use again as a topping after your stamppot dinner. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Chocoladehagel Puur in a 390 g pack, with 19 portions of 20 g.
You want to compare varieties by their stated cocoa content, not just by their name or pack size. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur as containing at least 52% cocoa solids.
First decide whether you want individual portions or a pack to use later. Then compare the type of topping and, if it matters to you, the cocoa content and nutritional information for the exact variety.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and leftovers | Check how many sachets there are and how much each contains. Albert Heijn lists eight portions of 15 g or 20 g for De Ruijter Kleintjes, depending on the contents. | If I only want something sweet once, I don’t want to open a large pack straight away. For around 45% of consumers, a measured amount is the top priority. |
| Classic flavour and using it again | Compare dark and milk varieties, pack weight and ingredients. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Puur in a 390 g pack; Jumbo lists Venz varieties in dark and milk chocolate, both in 400 g packs. | If you’ll use chocolate sprinkles again after this evening, a familiar flavour may matter more than individual sachets. Around 33% of consumers prioritise using the product again and enjoying a classic flavour. |
| Intense dark chocolate flavour | Check the cocoa solids percentage and compare sugars and saturated fat per 100 g. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur as containing at least 52% cocoa solids. | I’m mainly looking for a distinctively dark variety and want to see what the packaging says about it. This flavour preference comes first for around 22% of consumers. |
Chocolate sprinkles are a topping. Even a pack with small sachets doesn’t necessarily contain just one portion; according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions.
If you’re looking for a measured amount, check the number of sachets and the weight per sachet. If you want a chocolate bar, compare bars rather than chocolate sprinkles.
A smaller pack doesn’t have to contain individual portions. Conversely, a standard pack is only a practical choice here if you’ll use the contents later too.
Check the total amount and whether the pack contains individually portioned sachets.
Cocoa content doesn’t tell you everything about nutritional value. The product information for De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur lists 43 g of sugars and 12 g of saturated fat per 100 g.
Choose based on flavour if that’s your priority, and also check the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion on the packaging.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between dark chocolate sprinkles, milk varieties and mixed packs. For example, Albert Heijn lists milk and soya for the De Ruijter dark chocolate sprinkles it reviewed.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack you’re going to use, especially if you need to avoid a particular ingredient.
Albert Heijn lists several products under this brand, including 390 g packs of dark chocolate sprinkles, 200 g packs of Specials Intens Puur and Kleintjes with eight portions.

Jumbo lists its own-brand chocolate sprinkles in milk and dark varieties, including 600 g packs.
ALDI Netherlands lists Kiekeboe dark chocolate sprinkles in a 600 g pack, made with Rainforest Alliance cocoa.
Lidl lists Mister CHOC Hagelslag Puur as a 600 g pack available in store.
These products include dark chocolate sprinkles and chocolate flakes in packs of 200 to 400 g. They’re most relevant if you want to use the same topping again after your stamppot dinner, or if you’re looking for a smaller pack. Check separately whether a pack contains individual portions.

No. Chocolate sprinkles are a topping, and a portion pack may contain several sachets. Albert Heijn lists eight individual portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes, so check how many sachets there are if you only want enough for one occasion.
You can’t tell from the words ‘dark’ and ‘milk’ alone. Compare the sugars and fats per 100 g for the exact varieties, and also consider how much you plan to use. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre describes both as sweet sandwich toppings.
Read the label on the exact variety and pack you’re going to use. Albert Heijn lists milk and soya for the De Ruijter dark chocolate sprinkles it reviewed; in a mix, the ingredients may vary between components.
Follow the storage advice on the packaging and seal the pack securely after use. The De Ruijter product information at Albert Heijn says to store in a cool, dry place; for the 390 g dark variety, Joybuy advises keeping the pack tightly closed.
