Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want to measure out small amounts at a time: Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack, with a 6 g portion. That portion is not a separate mini pack. For a colourful, festive look, you could consider Feestmuisjes; if you’re mainly after an orange accent, orange sprinkles are another option, but check the ingredients on the pack.
If you’re decorating a few cupcakes or rusks, you can measure out the sprinkles as you go. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g portion for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, while the pack contains 270 g. So it’s worth thinking about what you’ll do with the rest of the pack, too.
If you’re mainly looking for an orange topping, decide whether colour or the flavour and texture of crushed aniseed sprinkles matters more to you. Albert Heijn also lists a 200 g tin of orange sprinkles, but these are not the same product as crushed aniseed sprinkles.
Check the label on the pack you buy before using it. Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information lists wheat or gluten-containing cereals in the Gestampte Muisjes, Feestmuisjes and Anijshagel products mentioned here.
First decide whether you want aniseed sprinkles or mainly an orange decoration. Then compare the portion size with the total pack contents, and always check the label if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.

The portion size helps you measure out the sprinkles, but Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. The portion size doesn’t tell you how much you’re buying altogether.
Work out how many treats you want to decorate, then check the portion size and pack contents separately.
An orange topping might suit the occasion, but its colour doesn’t tell you whether the flavour, texture, ingredients or allergens are the same.
First choose between the type of product and the colour you want. If orange sprinkles are important to your choice, check the pack.
According to the product information, the Gestampte Muisjes, Feestmuisjes and Anijshagel products mentioned contain wheat or gluten-containing cereals. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority notes that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products.
