If you’re looking for a bar you can eat straight away during your morning break, don’t confuse it with De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes: the 270 g pack contains a sprinkle-on topping, not individual bars. The topping can work as a snack with bread, rusks or yoghurt if you measure out a portion yourself. Be sure to check the current label too: this variety contains wheat and gluten.
If you want something to eat during your morning break without any preparation, check that you’re choosing an individually wrapped, ready-to-eat snack. You’ll need to portion out the 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes yourself and use it as a topping.
If you have bread, rusks or yoghurt to hand, you can add crushed aniseed sprinkles to them. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists these as ways to use De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
Check the serving size, sugars and allergens on the pack before use. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information gives a serving size of 6 g; the variety reviewed contains wheat and gluten, and Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g.
First decide whether you want a snack you can eat straight away or an aniseed topping for something you already plan to eat. Then compare the serving size and the label.
