Choose individual portions if you want a measured sachet for each coffee break. According to PLUS and Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains eight portions, but it’s a mix of chocolate sprinkles, flakes and fruit sprinkles—not a pack of chocolate flakes alone. If you want flakes only, a 200 g box is a good option for keeping a smaller stock; a 300 g box may suit regular use better, provided you’re happy to measure out your own portions.
An individual sachet makes it easy to see how much you’ll use in one sitting. According to PLUS and Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains eight portions. It’s only the right choice if you also want a mix of different types of sprinkles.
A 200 g box keeps your stock smaller without switching to a mix of chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. PLUS lists this size for De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Melk; you can measure out as much as you need each time.
A larger box may be a good fit if you often serve flakes and want to measure out your own portions. Jumbo and ALDI list standard chocolate flakes in 300 g packs.
First decide whether you need a measured portion or chocolate flakes only. Then choose a pack size that suits how often you use them.
| What to consider | What to check | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check how many sachets are included and whether they contain flakes or a sprinkle mix. | If I want to use just one measured amount at each coffee break, what’s in the sachet matters more than choosing a small box. For around 42% of consumers, portioning is the priority. |
| Smaller stock | Check the net weight and type of flakes; with a box, you’ll need to measure out your own portions. | If I use flakes occasionally, I’d rather keep a smaller stock, but still choose chocolate flakes rather than mixed sprinkles. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Larger pack | Compare the net weight with how often you use flakes and how much you want each time. | If flakes are a regular on my table, I’d rather have a larger box and choose the amount myself. This matters most to around 25% of consumers. |
According to PLUS and Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar also contains chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. So a measured sachet won’t necessarily give you the type of sprinkles you’re looking for.
Read the product description before choosing individual portions. If you want chocolate flakes only, look for a box of flakes and measure out your own portions.
A lower net weight doesn’t tell you how much you’ll use each time. If you want a set amount, you’ll still need a separate way to measure it when using a box.
Check that your chosen pack actually contains individual sachets; don’t rely on words such as small or compact alone.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between types of sprinkles. For De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Melk, PLUS lists milk, lactose and soya, among other ingredients; this information doesn’t automatically apply to another variety.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re buying, especially if you’re switching between flakes and a sprinkle mix.
A measured sachet makes it clear how much you’re using, but it doesn’t change the product’s nutritional make-up.
Compare the nutritional information of the products you’re considering if their composition is important to your choice.

Yes, read the label for the exact variety you’ve chosen. For De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Melk, PLUS lists milk, lactose and soya, among other ingredients; don’t assume that a sprinkle mix or another flavour has the same ingredients.
