Choose a 600 g pack if you’re making sandwiches for several walkers and can use any leftovers later. For a smaller group or a particular flavour, 380–400 g may be a better fit; individual portions make it easier to share. Chocolate sprinkles are a sandwich filling or topping, so also plan what you’ll serve them on and what you’ll drink during the walk.
If you’re making sandwiches for several walkers, a 600 g pack could be a good choice if you’ll use any leftovers too. Chocolate sprinkles are used as a filling or topping, rather than as a ready-to-eat snack on their own.
If you’d rather not sprinkle them from one open pack during a break, individual portions or a sealable sharing container are worth considering. For example, Albert Heijn lists eight portions in a 140 g pack of De Ruijter Kleintjes.
If the group prefers milk, dark or a flavour mix, choose the exact variety that suits everyone. If anyone has an allergy, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re taking with you.
First, work out how many sandwiches you want to make and whether you’ll use an opened pack later. Then consider how you’ll share out the chocolate sprinkles during your break.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and using leftovers | Compare the weight in grams with the number of sandwiches, and think about what you’ll do with an opened pack. | If I’m making sandwiches for the whole group, I want enough filling without choosing a pack that will be left unused. Around 40% of consumers prioritise getting the right quantity. |
| Sharing while out walking | Check whether the pack contains individual portions, or take a sealable sharing container for a larger pack. | During a group break, I want to share out the chocolate sprinkles without everyone sprinkling from the same open pack. For around 30% of consumers, easy sharing is the main priority. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Choose the variety you want, then read the current ingredients list and allergen information on that exact pack. | If group members have different preferences or allergies, I want to know exactly which variety I’m taking before we set off. Flavour and ingredients matter most to around 20% of consumers. |
| Taking a break on the walk | Plan what you’ll serve the chocolate sprinkles on and take drinks with you; choose the rest of your food to suit the walk. | I want the break to be about more than just a sweet topping, so I also think about food and drinks for the walk. Around 10% of consumers prioritise this kind of planning. |
The chocolate sprinkles listed here are sold as a sandwich filling or topping. If you share an open pack while out walking, you’ll also need something to serve them on.
Make the sandwiches in advance or take a sealable sharing container, and plan separately what you’ll eat and drink during the walk.
Milk, dark and mixed-flavour varieties aren’t necessarily suitable alternatives for someone with an allergy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens must be listed on the labels of pre-packed foods.
Ask the group about any relevant allergies in advance, and check the allergen information on the exact pack before setting off.
