Who is this topping for?

The drinks-party host who wants to sprinkle neatly

You want to finish small sweet bites with aniseed sprinkles without making a mess. A dry spoon or shaker suits the product described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo, which should be stored in a dry place; a squeezy bottle isn’t necessarily the same packaging.

The host who takes allergens into account

You check the label before serving for guests who need to avoid certain ingredients. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g.

Anyone looking for a topping for a range of sweet treats

You want to use the aniseed flavour on more than just crispbread – for example, on bread, yoghurt or cakes. Albert Heijn and Jumbo suggest these uses for crushed aniseed sprinkles.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how you want to serve the dry sprinkles. Then check the label for your guests and work out how much you’ll need for your nibbles.

What to considerWhat to check when buyingWho it matters to
Serving neatly Check the product type and closure; use a dry spoon or shaker if needed for these dry sprinkles. When I’m finishing small sweet bites, I want to distribute the topping precisely without making a mess. Around 33% of consumers rank this way of serving as their top priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the label on the pack you’ve bought, especially if any guests need to avoid wheat or gluten. When I’m serving guests, I want to know first whether they can eat the ingredients. For around 42% of consumers, checking allergens comes first.
Flavour and quantity Check whether aniseed suits your nibbles and whether the 270 g pack is right for what you plan to use. I want to use the aniseed flavour on different sweet treats, rather than just sprinkling it over one small plate. This is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming it comes in the usual squeezy-bottle packaging

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g as crushed, sugared aniseed that should be stored in a dry place. This description doesn’t confirm that it comes in a squeezy bottle or has a dispensing nozzle.

    If you’re looking at a different pack, compare the exact product name, quantity and closure. To avoid making a mess, first try a small amount to see whether a dry spoon or shaker works well for you.

  • Relying on different or out-of-date allergen information

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for the 270 g pack. Product information can change, and details may differ between retailers.

    Before serving, read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you actually bought. If the labelling is unclear, don’t serve it to guests with relevant allergies.

  • Choosing a pack without planning how you’ll use it

    The pack mentioned contains 270 g. You may have some left over if you’re only making a few nibbles; if you also want to top bread, yoghurt or cakes, take those other uses into account when choosing.

    Estimate how many treats you want to sprinkle in advance, consider whether you’ll enjoy the aniseed flavour in other dishes later, and follow the advice to store the product in a dry place.
