Who are crushed aniseed sprinkles suitable for?

Common mistakes
-
Expecting a single bar
De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes comes as 270 g of sprinkles in a pack, not as an individual bar. If you only use them occasionally, that may be more than you need.
Check the product type and pack size before buying. If 270 g doesn’t suit how you use them, look for a smaller pack.
-
Thinking of crushed aniseed sprinkles as a neutral topping
They’re sugared aniseed. If you don’t want to use that flavour on several occasions, a larger pack may not suit your plans.
Choose according to the flavour and product type you want. Aniseed sprinkles also have an aniseed flavour, while colourful sprinkles have a different look.
-
Relying only on an online allergen list
The listed De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contains wheat and cereals containing gluten. Product information on a retailer’s website may differ from the label on the pack you receive.
Before using them, check the ingredients and allergens on that pack, especially if you avoid wheat or gluten.
