De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are a good fit for an Easter brunch if you specifically want the crushed variety and 270 g is enough for your table; Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g. If you mainly want a larger pack, the regular and Feest Muisjes varieties we looked at, at 330 g, are an alternative, but they are not the same product format. The 300 g Anijshagel is another type of anise topping. Whichever you choose, check the current label, especially if anyone needs to avoid wheat.
