Looking for savoury nibbles for a snack platter? Don’t choose crushed aniseed sprinkles as the main item. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g, as sweet aniseed sprinkles for things such as crispbread and cakes, not as a large bag of savoury snacks. If you’re serving something sweet alongside drinks, you could use the sprinkles as a topping; just check the quantity and allergens on the pack.

Common mistakes
-
Mistaking crushed aniseed sprinkles for a savoury sharing bag
Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe crushed aniseed sprinkles as sweet aniseed sprinkles for things such as crispbread and cakes. They won’t make up a platter of savoury party snacks.
Buy savoury nibbles separately for a savoury snack platter; use the sprinkles only if you’re serving something sweet too.
-
Assuming a 330 g pack is the same variety
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes at 270 g alongside differently named 330 g aniseed sprinkle products. The greater weight doesn’t make them identical products.
Compare the full name and net weight before choosing a pack for several guests.
-
Checking for wheat and gluten only after buying
Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals. This variety of crushed aniseed sprinkles is therefore not gluten-free.
Read the current packaging before buying, and check it again before serving if your guests need to avoid gluten.
