For a one-off coffee get-together, a single 270 g pack is usually the better choice. If you host regularly or have a large group, a case containing nine individual packs may be more convenient. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the single pack, while FoodWorld-XL lists a case of 9 × 270 g. If you’re planning an event for a specific date, check the delivery time. And if anyone has an allergy, read the label on the pack you receive.
If you welcome different groups, you can spread the nine individual packs in a case across several occasions. FoodWorld-XL lists this format; check the delivery time before ordering for a specific date.
For a single coffee afternoon, you may not want lots of stock left over. Albert Heijn and Jumbo both list a single 270 g pack of De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles.
If your guests need to avoid certain ingredients or allergens, the pack you actually serve is what matters. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product pages list wheat and cereals containing gluten; also check the label on the pack you receive.
