Who are smaller portions useful for?

If you want to top one rusk

If you fancy one rusk with a measured amount of chocolate sprinkles late in the evening, an individual portion means you don’t have to scoop them out of a large pack. You’ll still need to buy the rusk separately.

If you like to switch between flavours

De Ruijter Kleintjes contains a selection of chocolate sprinkles and flakes in individual portions. That gives you several options without having to open a large pack of each type.

If you like to check the label first

If nutritional values, ingredients or allergens influence your choice, check the specific variety. The items in the De Ruijter pack have different ingredients, so the flavour name alone won’t tell you everything.

What should you look for when buying?

First decide whether you’d like a measured portion or prefer to sprinkle them yourself. Then compare the types of chocolate sprinkles and the information on the pack.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
One-person portion Check the number of portions and the amount of chocolate sprinkles in each. See whether you’ll need to buy rusks separately. I want to top one rusk late in the evening without scooping chocolate sprinkles out of a large box. A measured portion is the top priority for around 45% of consumers.
Variety of flavours Check whether the pack contains chocolate sprinkles, flakes or both, and which flavours are included. I like to switch between flavours, but don’t want to open several large packs to do so; around 33% of consumers make variety their top priority.
Nutritional information and ingredients Read the nutritional information per portion or per 100 g, and check the ingredients and allergens for your chosen variety. Before choosing a topping, I want to know what’s in it and how much I’m using. Nutritional information and ingredients come first for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a search result means a ready-made product is available

    Jumbo says that Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk is no longer in its online range. So an existing product page doesn’t confirm that you can order it now.

    Check the current product status with the retailer you plan to buy from. If you’re topping a rusk yourself, you’ll need both rusks and chocolate sprinkles.

  • Not factoring in the amount of chocolate sprinkles

    If you sprinkle them on yourself, you decide how much topping to use as you prepare your snack. Nutritional information per portion is only useful for the amount you actually eat.

    Check the serving size and nutritional information for your chosen variety, and measure out the chocolate sprinkles if you want to use a set amount.

Brands to consider

De Ruijter

According to the product information at Albert Heijn, Kleintjes is a 140 g pack containing eight individual portions of different types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes.

  • You can choose a pre-portioned serving for each rusk and switch between varieties.
  • The varieties have different ingredients. Check each one for information about milk, soya and wheat, among other things. The pack doesn’t include rusks.

Venz

The Venz brand page at Albert Heijn shows standard packs in different flavours and sizes, including milk and XXL milk, both in 380 g packs.

  • You can choose the variety you prefer if you often sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on rusks yourself.
  • Check the exact pack if you’re looking for individual portions; a standard box isn’t the same as a ready-made rusk snack.

Jumbo

Jumbo sells rusks and chocolate sprinkles as separate products in its range.

  • Buying the products separately lets you choose the combination and amount of chocolate sprinkles yourself.
  • Jumbo says its ready-made Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk is no longer in its online range. So check the current product status when you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy a ready-made rusk with chocolate sprinkles as a single snack?

Don’t assume this option is available without checking the current product listing: Jumbo says its Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk is no longer in its online range. Check with your chosen retailer to see whether a ready-made version is available and what the pack contains.

How much chocolate sprinkles should I use on one rusk?

You decide how much to sprinkle on your rusk. Voedingscentrum uses 15 g of chocolate sprinkles as a serving on a slice of bread, but that isn’t a set amount for rusk; check the nutritional information for the amount and variety you choose.

Should I check the label for each type in a mix of chocolate sprinkles?

Yes, check the ingredients and allergens for the varieties you want to eat. The items in De Ruijter Kleintjes have different ingredients and include ingredients containing milk, soya or wheat, among others.

Can I tell from the rusk whether iodised salt has been used?

No, the product name doesn’t tell you which type of salt has been used. Check the ingredients list for your chosen rusk or ask the manufacturer which salt they use if this matters to your choice.

How can I keep rusk crisp until my late-night snack?

Store the rusk in a dry place and reseal the pack properly after use. Add the topping just before eating if you don’t want it to sit on the rusk for too long.
