Choose crushed muisjes if you want a finely crushed aniseed topping with the distinctive look of muisjes for your buffet. It’s a dry-stored sprinkle, not a frozen product. If the exact product form is less important, you could also consider aniseed hagel. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of either option before serving.

Looking for crushed muisjes in the freezer
According to Foodstore Andaluz’s product information, De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes should be stored in a dry place. Looking for it in the freezer won’t help you find this topping.
Check the sweet sandwich toppings or sprinkles aisle, and make sure you know which product is actually on the shelf.

Treating different pack sizes as the same product
Jumbo lists De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes at 270 g and De Ruijter Aniseed Hagel at 300 g. The products also differ in appearance, which will affect how they look on your buffet.
Work out how much topping you need, then decide whether aniseed hagel could give you the presentation you want.

Skipping the label because it’s only a topping
Foodstore Andaluz lists wheat and milk for De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes. For De Ruijter Aniseed Hagel, Jumbo lists cereals containing gluten and wheat.
Read the packaging of every product you buy, and keep the ingredient information available for buffet guests.
