For a small office pantry, mini crispbreads and individually portioned chocolate sprinkles are a practical choice if you want to control how much each person gets. Individual sticks provide a set amount of sprinkles, but you’ll need to supply the crispbreads separately. With a bulk pack, the contents need to be used up quickly enough. Only consider a ready-made product if its packaging clearly states the portions, ingredients and allergens.
Individual portions are particularly useful if you organise serving, need to allow for varying attendance or have to check the labels for each chosen variety.
If you’re putting out crispbreads with chocolate sprinkles for a team, you can pair mini crispbreads with sachets or sticks of sprinkles. Albert Heijn lists eight portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes; foodservice suppliers also offer 10 g Van Oordt sticks. In both cases, you’ll need to provide the crispbreads separately.
If people aren’t all eating at the same time, it’s worth considering how many crispbreads and how much chocolate sprinkles you open. Wageningen University & Research studied food waste in Dutch workplace catering between 2022 and 2024. Choose packaging for your office based on how much you expect to use.
For a mixed team, a flavour name alone isn’t enough to assess a product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be listed and emphasised on food labels. So check the exact crispbread and chocolate sprinkle varieties.
First decide whether employees will combine the crispbreads and chocolate sprinkles themselves or receive a ready-made product. Then choose a format that suits the way you’ll serve them, and check the information on both packs.
When to choose this: If you want to control the amount of crispbread and chocolate sprinkles separately for a meeting or office pantry.
Trade-off: Small portions of chocolate sprinkles, including sticks, don’t include crispbread, so you’ll need to buy and put out two products.
When to choose this: If you want to hand out a single product without employees having to assemble it themselves.
Trade-off: Check how many portions each product contains, along with its ingredients and allergens.
When to choose this: If there’s enough turnover to use opened packs of crispbread and chocolate sprinkles.
Trade-off: You control the portions, but you’ll need to manage opened packs, crumbs and leftovers.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion control and serving | Check the number of portions or the amount per stick, then decide how many crispbreads to serve with them. | For a shared pantry, I want to be able to set out chocolate sprinkles for each person without leaving an open pack on the table. Portion control is the top priority for an estimated 42% of consumers. |
| Stock and leftovers | Compare the pack size with expected use, and allow for crispbreads that are opened or broken. | When attendance varies, I don’t want to open more crispbreads than necessary. Stock management is the main concern for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients, allergens and flavour | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the labels for the exact crispbread and chocolate sprinkle varieties. | When I’m buying for different colleagues, I need to be able to check what’s in each flavour I choose. An estimated 25% of consumers put this check first. |
A small crispbread doesn’t tell you how many pieces are in a pack or how many each person will get. Albert Heijn lists eight portions of chocolate sprinkles for De Ruijter Kleintjes, while Jumbo sells its mini waldkorn crispbreads in a 170 g pack.
Check the number of crispbreads and the number of portions of chocolate sprinkles separately before deciding how to serve them.
De Ruijter Kleintjes and Van Oordt sticks are portions of sprinkles, not crispbreads with chocolate sprinkles. You’ll still need to provide crispbread to make up the combination.
Decide how many crispbreads and how many sachets or sticks you want to put out each time.
Ingredients and warnings vary by product. Foods & Goods says that one specific Fruitmix stick may contain milk, cereals containing gluten and wheat; this doesn’t automatically apply to other flavours.
For every variety you choose, check the current packaging or full product information, including for the crispbread.
These examples show the types of crispbread and chocolate sprinkles you can compare. A brand mentioned here isn’t necessarily a complete office portion.
According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes is a 140 g pack of chocolate sprinkles containing eight portions.
Foodservice suppliers Kantinewinkel.nl and Easy Food list Van Oordt chocolate sprinkles in 10 g sticks.
Jumbo lists 170 g mini waldkorn crispbreads, Strooi Mini’s with eight pieces in a 140 g pack, and a product called Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk.
Albert Heijn describes Venz Mini’s as eight varieties of chocolate sprinkles for bread.
No. ‘Mini’ could refer to the size of the crispbread or to a pack of chocolate sprinkles. Albert Heijn lists eight portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes; Jumbo sells mini waldkorn crispbreads in a 170 g pack. Check the number of pieces and the amount per portion of chocolate sprinkles separately.
Yes, a stick of chocolate sprinkles doesn’t include crispbread. Kantinewinkel.nl and Easy Food list 10 g Van Oordt sticks. If you want to serve crispbreads with chocolate sprinkles, choose and plan the crispbread separately.
Check the labels for both exact product varieties, not just the flavour names. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be listed and emphasised. A Fruitmix stick described by Foods & Goods may contain milk, cereals containing gluten and wheat; you can’t assume the same applies to other varieties.
No, that doesn’t follow from the rules on bakers’ salt. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, iodine compounds may only be present in bread, bread substitutes and other bakery products through the addition of bakers’ salt. Check the ingredients of the specific crispbread if this information matters to your choice.
A ready-made product is a good choice if you want to hand out one item without putting out crispbread and chocolate sprinkles separately. Jumbo lists a product called Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk. Before buying, check the pack you’ve chosen to see how many portions it contains and which ingredients and allergens it includes.
