If you’re serving crispbreads with chocolate sprinkles for King’s Day, choose your crispbreads based on the variety, ingredients and when you’ll prepare the snacks—not just a name that suggests extra sturdiness. The described plain, wholemeal and multigrain varieties don’t have a confirmed ‘thick cut’ measurement. Choose the topping separately, considering its type, pack size and allergens.
You want to serve crispbreads with chocolate sprinkles and need a base that suits the occasion. Compare crispbread varieties based on their stated features, without taking a name such as ‘Robust’ as proof that the slices are thicker.
You’re serving crispbreads and chocolate sprinkles to a group of people. Check the current packaging for both products: the crispbread may contain different allergens from the topping.
You’re choosing the topping mainly by type of chocolate, variety or pack size. De Ruijter offers dark chocolate sprinkles in a 390 g pack, for example, as well as an assortment of eight small portions of different sprinkles.
For crispbreads with chocolate sprinkles on your King’s Day table, start by choosing a suitable base, then check both labels and decide on your preferred topping. For consumers, one of these three choices may be the main priority.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| The crispbread base | Compare the varieties and check whether extra thickness or sturdiness is explicitly listed in the product specifications. | If I’m putting crispbreads out for a party, I don’t want to rely on a variety name as proof that they’re less likely to break. For roughly 33% of consumers, choosing the base comes first. |
| Allergens | Check the allergen information and any ‘may contain’ statements on both the crispbread and the topping. | When I’m hosting guests with allergies, I need to be able to assess both products separately. For around 22% of consumers, this check is the top priority. |
| Type and portions of topping | Compare chocolate sprinkles and flakes as separate product types. Check the pack size and, if it matters to your choice, the nutritional information per 100 g. | For a table with different preferences, I want to choose the flavour and pack size that work best. The type of topping and portion size come first for around 45% of consumers. |
A variety name tells you something about the name or ingredients, but on its own it doesn’t tell you the thickness or how resistant the crispbread is to breaking. The crispbread may not turn out as you expect for your party table.
If thickness matters, look for an explicit product specification. Otherwise, choose based on the features that are actually listed on the label.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, bakers in the Netherlands aren’t required to use baker’s salt. So you can’t assume a product contains iodised salt just because it’s crispbread.
If you want to know what type of salt a particular crispbread contains, check the ingredients list or ask the baker.
The topping may contain other allergens. For example, the De Ruijter dark chocolate sprinkles described by Albert Heijn list milk and soya.
Before serving, check the latest allergen information for both the crispbread and your chosen chocolate sprinkles or flakes.
