Which option is right for you?

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.

Organisers who want to hand out treats quickly

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.

Party-bag shoppers navigating allergies or school rules

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.

What should you consider when choosing?

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.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Portions and time needed to hand them out Check whether the pack contains individual portions and how many. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack, with 45 labelled portions of 6 g; you’ll need to portion these out yourself. If I want to put each bag together quickly without weighing out the contents myself, I look for pre-portioned packs; around 40% of consumers prioritise portioning convenience.
Product type and flavour Read the product name and ingredients if you specifically want sugary aniseed sprinkles. De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini’s contain a different type of sprinkles. If aniseed flavour is part of my treat, I don’t want to pick up chocolate sprinkles by mistake; around 30% of consumers prioritise the exact product type.
Allergens and group rules Ask what the school or childcare setting allows, then check the current allergen information for each variant. Jumbo lists wheat in Gestampte Muisjes; the portioned products mentioned also contain other ingredients and allergens. When I’m handing out treats to a group, I want to know in advance which ingredients are suitable and whether edible treats are allowed; around 30% of consumers consider this the most important factor.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means the same crushed aniseed sprinkles

    The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes pack contains 270 g, with a labelled portion size of 6 g. De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini’s come in individual portions, but they are different products.

    Check the full product name and ingredients before prioritising portioning convenience over the specific aniseed flavour.

  • Assuming a small portion contains fewer allergens

    Jumbo lists wheat in Gestampte Muisjes. De Ruijter Kleintjes list milk, soya, wheat and cereals containing gluten, among other ingredients; Jumbo Strooi Mini’s contain milk.

    Check the allergen information on the current packaging of each specific variant against the group’s needs.

  • Buying before you know the rules for party treats

    School or childcare rules may determine whether edible treats or bags you’ve filled yourself are allowed. The Voedingscentrum recommends taking school treat policies and food safety into account.

    Check what’s allowed in advance, then work out how many portions you’ll need.

Brands and retailers to consider

De Ruijter

If you’re specifically looking for Gestampte Muisjes, the 270 g pack is the one to consider. Albert Heijn lists 45 labelled portions of 6 g.

  • The product name and portion information make it clear what you can measure out for the bags yourself.
  • De Ruijter Kleintjes are individual portions of chocolate sprinkles and flakes, not the same crushed aniseed sprinkles in a smaller pack.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as well as its own Strooi Mini’s, which come in eight portions.

  • You can compare the listed pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles with an option that comes in individual portions.
  • Strooi Mini’s are not crushed aniseed sprinkles and contain milk; check the ingredients of the variant you choose.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists both De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack and De Ruijter Kleintjes in eight individual portions.

  • The portion information helps you decide between portioning them out yourself and choosing ready-portioned packs.
  • Kleintjes contain chocolate sprinkles and flakes, so they don’t replace the aniseed flavour of Gestampte Muisjes.

The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes pack listed by Albert Heijn contains 270 g and has a labelled portion size of 6 g.

What should you check if someone in the group has a wheat allergy?

Before buying, check the allergen information on the exact pack: Jumbo lists wheat in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

How should you store Gestampte Muisjes before filling the bags?
