Students who want to keep a small stock
If you’re short on space and don’t eat chocolate sprinkles often, individual portions or a small multipack give you a limited amount for each serving.
Which pack is right for you?
Students who eat chocolate sprinkles regularly
A standard pack is worth considering if you’re likely to use it all. Choose the size based on how much you use, not simply because a larger pack is available.
Students who need to check the label
If an ingredient or allergen matters to you, read the information on the pack of the exact variety you’re buying. The flavour name ‘dark’ doesn’t tell you whether it’s suitable.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, work out how much chocolate sprinkles you use and whether you want individual portions. Then compare the flavour and label information on packs that suit your needs.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Small stock and individual portions | Check how many individual sachets are included and how many grams each one contains. | If I eat chocolate sprinkles from time to time, I don’t want to have a large opened pack in my room for ages. For around 36% of consumers, keeping a small stock or having a measured portion is the top priority. |
| Pack size for regular use | Compare the amount in each pack with how much you use yourself or share with housemates. | If I use them regularly, I want to choose a pack that suits how much we get through together. The amount used is the main consideration for around 29% of consumers. |
| Flavour and variety | Choose between options such as dark, milk chocolate or a pack with several varieties. | If I don’t know which flavour I prefer yet, I don’t want to buy a large pack of just one. Flavour or variety matters most to around 21% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you’ve chosen. | If I need to avoid a particular ingredient, I can’t rely on the flavour name. Checking the label is the top priority for around 14% of consumers. |
Common choices to reconsider
-
Assuming ‘dark’ means allergen-free
According to the listing at Albert Heijn, De Ruijter dark chocolate sprinkles contain milk and soya. So the flavour name doesn’t tell you whether that variety is suitable if you need to avoid these ingredients.
Before buying, check the latest ingredients and allergen information for the specific pack.
-
Choosing a large pack for occasional use
A 600 g pack means keeping more in your room, even if you only eat chocolate sprinkles from time to time.
Choose a pack size that suits how often you eat chocolate sprinkles or share them with housemates.

Comparing portions by eye
A multipack may contain sachets in different sizes: according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains 15 g and 20 g portions.
