For coffee with friends, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g is an option if you’re looking for a fine topping for rusks or cakes. Work out how much you need based on what you’re serving and how many guests you have, rather than assuming you need a separate sharing bag. Albert Heijn and Jumbo also list whole aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs, but these have a different texture and are suited to decorating rusks. Before serving, check the current packaging for ingredients and allergens.
You want to serve crushed aniseed sprinkles on rusks or cakes and work out in advance how much you’ll use. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack; don’t compare it with whole aniseed sprinkles on weight alone.
You want to add an aniseed flavour to bakes or make a topping to serve with coffee. Jumbo suggests using them on cupcakes and cakes, among other things, and includes crushed aniseed sprinkles in a recipe for traditional Dutch spiced cake.
You want to know what you’re serving your guests, especially if anyone avoids certain ingredients. Jumbo’s product listing mentions wheat and cereals containing gluten; check the packaging label before sharing them, too.
First, choose between a fine topping and whole aniseed sprinkles for decoration. Then compare the quantity with what you plan to serve, and check that the ingredients are suitable for your guests.
