Parents looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles
If the aniseed flavour and product type matter more to you than individual packaging, De Ruijter’s pack is a good choice if you can portion it out yourself for the party bags.
Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if the sugary aniseed sprinkles are an essential part of the treat and you’re happy to portion them out yourself. According to Albert Heijn, the 270 g pack has a 6 g serving size on the label. Individual sprinkle portions are easier to hand out, but contain a different type of sprinkles, so you’ll need to check the ingredients and allergen information again.
If the aniseed flavour and product type matter more to you than individual packaging, De Ruijter’s pack is a good choice if you can portion it out yourself for the party bags.
If you want to give each child a pre-packed portion of sprinkles, you could consider De Ruijter Kleintjes or Jumbo Strooi Mini’s. These are different types of sprinkles, not smaller packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles.
Before buying, ask what the school or childcare setting allows and which ingredients are important for the group. Then check the allergen information on the exact pack you plan to hand out.
Decide whether your party bags need to contain crushed aniseed sprinkles specifically, or whether individual portions of a different type of sprinkles would also work. Then make sure your choice fits the rules for the group.
