Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g, if you want to finish small Christmas treats yourself with a fine topping: Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving, but the pack does not contain individually wrapped mini portions. If you’re looking for a more festive topping, compare it with De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, 330 g. Always check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging when serving guests.
Which option is right for you?
Making small Christmas treats
If you want to decorate crispbreads, cupcakes or small desserts, you can sprinkle Gestampte Muisjes over each treat yourself. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for the 270 g pack. This is a guide to help you measure the amount, not an individually wrapped mini portion.
Setting a festive table
If presentation matters more to you than a crushed topping, you could consider De Ruijter Feestmuisjes as a different type of product. Albert Heijn lists it in a 330 g pack.
Choosing with ingredients in mind
If you’re serving treats to a range of guests, check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging. Jumbo lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, so don’t assume this topping is gluten-free.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you need the crushed version so you can control the amount on small treats, or whether you’d prefer Feestmuisjes. Then compare the quantity you need with the pack size, and read the label before serving.

Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a 6 g serving for a mini pack
The serving size listed by Albert Heijn for Gestampte Muisjes refers to an amount from the 270 g pack. The portions are not individually wrapped.
Work out how much topping you need for your treats, then measure it out yourself with a spoon or shaker if needed.
-
Presenting Gestampte Muisjes as a gluten-free decoration
Jumbo lists wheat starch among the ingredients of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Sprinkling on a smaller amount doesn’t change the fact that this ingredient is present.
Check the label on the pack you’re using before serving, and offer guests who need to avoid wheat or gluten a suitable alternative.
-
Relying only on ingredients information online
The information you use to choose a product may not match the wording on the pack you eventually serve. When it comes to allergens, the packaging itself is what matters.
Check the ingredients and allergens again on the physical label before preparing treats for guests.
