Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in the 270 g pack if the crushed texture matters: Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g. If you’re mainly looking for more to share, regular muisjes in a 330 g pack are another option, but they’re not an identical replacement. For a school lunch, check the current label for wheat and gluten, and bear in mind the Voedingscentrum’s advice on sweet spreads.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘sharing bag’ means a standard pack size
The term doesn’t tell you how many crushed muisjes are in a bag. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack.
Check the net weight and stated serving size if you plan to share the pack.
-
Treating regular muisjes as the same variety
Jumbo lists regular 330 g packs alongside 270 g packs of crushed muisjes. So the larger pack comes in a different form.
Compare the full product names, and choose regular muisjes only if the crushed texture isn’t essential.
-
Relying on an allergen list you checked earlier
Albert Heijn’s product information lists wheat and gluten in the crushed variety. Ingredients information can change.
Check the label on the pack you’ve bought again before packing or sharing the muisjes.
-
Choosing sweet sprinkles for every school sandwich
Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for the crushed variety. The Voedingscentrum advises packing no more than one slice of bread with a sweet spread for a primary school lunch.
When packing lunch, decide which sandwich you want to make sweet and choose a different topping for the others.
