Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if you want to serve crushed, sugar-coated aniseed on the table; choose Feestmuisjes if a colourful display of sprinkles matters more. You can’t convert the pack weight into a reliable volume in millilitres for a glass jar. Check how much fits by trying the product in the jar you plan to use, and keep the allergen information to hand after decanting.
You want to serve crushed aniseed sprinkles and tailor the amount to your drinks party. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving and 45 servings for the 270 g pack; these figures don’t tell you how much space the product will take up in a jar.
You’re deciding between crushed aniseed sprinkles and a colourful variety for the birthday table. Feestmuisjes are a different type of product, not the same contents in different packaging.
You’re decanting sprinkles into a glass jar and want to be able to show guests the ingredients and allergen information. Check the current label and keep the product information by the jar.
For your birthday drinks, start by choosing the type of product you want. Then consider portions and the glass jar separately: the weight on the pack doesn’t tell you the jar’s capacity.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and jar capacity | Compare the weight and serving size on the label; test whether the product fits in your chosen jar. | When I’m filling a jar for everyone to share, I want to plan the amount without guessing how large the jar needs to be. Portion planning is a priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Product type and appearance | Decide whether you want crushed aniseed sprinkles or the colourful Feestmuisjes; check the pack size too. | For my birthday table, the way they look matters more than whether they’re crushed. Around 30% of consumers put appearance first. |
| Label and storage | Read the current allergen information and storage advice before decanting the product; keep the packaging by the jar. | When I serve snacks from a jar, I want to be able to answer questions about the ingredients and keep any leftovers dry. This is the main concern for around 30% of consumers. |
Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a 270 g pack, but weight alone doesn’t tell you how many millilitres of space the contents will take up in a glass jar.
Try the product in the jar you plan to use. Don’t choose a jar based solely on converting grams to millilitres.
Feestmuisjes and Anijshagel offer different ways to serve aniseed sprinkles, but they aren’t the same type of product as Gestampte Muisjes.
Before you go shopping, decide whether you want the crushed variety, a colourful display of sprinkles or another type of aniseed sprinkle for your table.
The De Ruijter products reviewed list wheat and cereals containing gluten. In a glass jar, this information isn’t automatically visible to guests.
Keep the current packaging by the jar. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must be available to consumers when unpackaged food is sold commercially.
The sprinkles reviewed should be stored in a dry place. A jar left open while you’re serving them doesn’t automatically replace a sealed storage container.
After your drinks party, seal any leftovers in a clean, dry jar or the original packaging, and keep the product information with them.
De Ruijter offers three different aniseed sprinkles for this choice: Gestampte Muisjes, Feestmuisjes and Anijshagel. Compare the type of product and the label of the variety you want to serve, rather than looking at the brand name alone.
These glass storage jars are an option if you want to decant dry sprinkles for your drinks party. Test whether 270 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles fits in one jar, and check that the opening is convenient for scooping or sprinkling.

For anyone who wants to serve dry sprinkles in a clear jar and seal any leftovers afterwards.
A set of two jars, each with a capacity of 700 ml, with a silicone seal and clip-top lid. This capacity doesn’t confirm that 270 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles will fit in one jar; also check that the opening suits the way you plan to serve them.
The product title states that the jars are not dishwasher-safe. Check the cleaning instructions before washing them.
You can’t work out the capacity in millilitres from a weight of 270 g. Fill the jar you plan to use with the exact product to see whether it fits, and allow room to close the jar and scoop out the sprinkles.
Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g for the 270 g pack. This is a useful starting point for planning the amount, but it doesn’t tell you how many guests will have some.
The product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten, so don’t offer this variety as a suitable choice for guests who need to avoid these ingredients. Always check the label on the pack you’ve bought before serving.
For a private drinks party, keep the label available so guests can check the ingredients. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must be available to consumers when unpackaged food is sold commercially; a decorative jar doesn’t remove this requirement.
Store them in a dry place, as stated for the products reviewed. Seal them in a clean, dry jar or the original packaging, and keep the label with the best-before date and product information to hand.
