If you want to sprinkle crushed aniseed sprinkles at a birthday party, the 270 g bag is a good fit. Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g per bag, but that doesn’t tell you how many guests it will serve. For a larger or recurring celebration, Kantinewinkel offers a box of nine 270 g bags. A single 330 g bag of whole sprinkles, such as the one listed by Jumbo, is larger, but it isn’t a substitute if you specifically want the crushed variety.
Which pack is right for you?
Small birthday celebration
If you’re decorating rusks or cupcakes for a small group, think about how much you want to sprinkle on each one. For its 270 g bag of Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles, Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g. That figure doesn’t tell you how many guests the bag will serve.
Large or recurring celebration
If you need crushed aniseed sprinkles for more than one occasion, compare the cost of several individual bags with the box of 9 × 270 g offered by Kantinewinkel. Check that you’ll use all the bags and when the order can be delivered.
A colour theme or a larger single bag
If a larger bag and the colour of the sprinkles matter more to you than the crushed texture, you could look at whole sprinkles. Jumbo lists options including Party Sprinkles and Blue & White Sprinkles, both in 330 g bags. These are different varieties from Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles.
What should you consider when choosing?
Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles, 270 g
Choose this if: you want the crushed texture for your treats and one bag suits your plans.
Bear in mind: the 45 portions of 6 g listed by Albert Heijn are nutritional portions, not a guaranteed number of party servings.
Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles, 9 × 270 g
Choose this if: you want the same crushed variety for a large celebration or several occasions.
Bear in mind: Kantinewinkel offers a box containing nine individual bags. Confirm the delivery date before you rely on it.
Whole aniseed sprinkles, 330 g
Choose this if: you want a larger single bag or a coloured variety, and whole sprinkles will work for your presentation.
Bear in mind: the 330 g varieties listed by Jumbo aren’t crushed and may have different ingredients.

Common mistakes
-
Counting a nutritional portion as a party serving
Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g for a 270 g bag. How many guests it will serve depends on what you’re sprinkling and how generously you do it.
First decide what you want to decorate, then make sure you have enough bags for your plans if you’re going to sprinkle generously.
-
Assuming a larger bag contains the same product
The 330 g bags of whole sprinkles listed by Jumbo aren’t the crushed variety. This matters if your recipe or presentation specifically calls for crushed sprinkles.
Check the product name and texture. If needed, choose individual bags of Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles or the box of nine bags.
-
Checking allergens only on a product page
Jumbo lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles. Ingredient information can vary between varieties and packs.
Before serving, check the label on the exact bag you’ve bought.
-
Ordering a bulk box without planning for delivery
The box offered by Kantinewinkel contains nine 270 g bags. You’ll need to consider both how much you need and when it will be delivered.
Before ordering, check that it will arrive in time and that you’ll use all the bags.
