Which pack is right for you?

Baking for events

If you’re baking several batches of biscuits for a party, work out how much topping you’ll need in advance. Kantinewinkel.nl lists a case of 9 × 270 g; confirm the delivery time before planning your baking day.

Large families who bake regularly

If you regularly use crushed aniseed sprinkles on biscuits or other bakes, choose a quantity that matches what you’ll actually use. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a 270 g pack.

Home bakers making one recipe

If you want to see whether the aniseed flavour works with your biscuits, start with one 270 g pack. If you’re baking for others, check the label too: Jumbo’s ingredient list includes wheat starch.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how much topping you want to buy for your baking plans. Then check that the ingredients are suitable for your guests and that the aniseed flavour will work with your recipe.

What to consider What to check before buying Who should pay particular attention?
Quantity and packaging Compare a 270 g pack with a case of 9 × 270 g. If ordering a case, confirm the delivery time. If I’m baking several batches of biscuits for an event, I want enough topping without having lots left over. Getting the quantity right is the top priority for around 45% of consumers.
Wheat and gluten Read the label on the pack you receive and take note of the wheat starch listed. When baking biscuits for guests with different dietary requirements, I want to know which ingredients are in the decoration. Around 33% of consumers say checking this is their top priority.
Aniseed flavour and recipe If you’re trying a new recipe, first test a small amount as a topping. When making biscuits with another strong flavour, I want to try the sweet aniseed flavour first and see if it works. Around 22% of consumers put this flavour consideration first.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a case for one large pack

    The case listed by Kantinewinkel.nl contains nine individual 270 g packs.

    Before ordering for an event, check the number of packs and confirm the delivery time.

  • Assuming the sprinkles are gluten-free

    Jumbo’s ingredient list for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes includes wheat starch. This product is therefore not suitable for gluten-free or wheat-free baking.

    Read the label on the pack you’re using. For this kind of baking, choose a separate product whose ingredients and allergen information are suitable.

  • Buying more than you can use

    Nine 270 g packs add up to 2.43 kg. You could have a lot left over after one baking session.

    Choose a number of packs that suits your recipes, and check the use-by date and storage instructions.

    Leftover packs take up storage space and need to be kept dry.

  • Overlooking the aniseed flavour

    Crushed aniseed sprinkles have a sweet aniseed flavour, which won’t necessarily suit every biscuit recipe or taste preference.

    If you’re trying a new recipe, start by testing a small amount on a few biscuits.
