Choose De Ruijter Kleintjes if you want to set out individual portions for a gaming session and would like a variety of toppings: the box contains four 15 g portions and four 20 g portions, but it isn’t an all-flake pack. If you want one type of chocolate flakes for several sessions, a regular box is better suited to that; simply spoon a small amount into a bowl before you start playing.
Want to prepare something for each player or snack break without leaving a large box next to your equipment? Albert Heijn lists eight individual portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes: four of 15 g and four of 20 g.
Want to serve different types of sprinkles with toast, yoghurt or a small dessert, for example? According to PLUS product information, Kleintjes combines milk and dark chocolate flakes with chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles.
Will you still use chocolate flakes after your gaming session, and don’t mind measuring them out yourself? Jumbo and ALDI list regular 300 g boxes. Set aside the amount you want before playing, then close the box again.
Choose this if: you want to set out pre-portioned amounts before a gaming session.
Bear in mind: De Ruijter Kleintjes contains chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles as well as chocolate flakes, so not every portion contains the same type of topping.
Choose this if: you want to use one type of flakes for several occasions and can portion it yourself.
Bear in mind: a 300 g box doesn’t portion the contents for you; spoon out a serving before you play, then close the pack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who will find this most important? |
|---|---|---|
| Portions | Check whether the contents are individually portioned and how many grams each portion contains. | If I don’t want to keep sprinkling from a large box while playing, I’d rather set an amount aside beforehand. Around 46% of consumers prioritise small, pre-portioned servings. |
| Type of sprinkles | Check whether the pack contains flakes, chocolate sprinkles, fruit sprinkles or a combination. | At a shared snack table, I want to be able to switch things up, even if that means not every sachet contains flakes. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this variety. |
| Amount for later | Compare the total contents and decide whether you’re happy to spoon out small amounts yourself. | If I’ll use flakes in future sessions too, I’d rather buy a regular box and portion it myself. Having a supply like this is the main consideration for around 27% of consumers. |
The box described by PLUS also contains milk and dark chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. If you want chocolate flakes only, this affects what you’ll actually be putting on the table.
Check which types of sprinkles are in the pack. If you don’t want a mix, choose a box with the type of flakes you’re looking for.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between the components of a mix. A previous purchase or product photo may not match the pack you’re buying now.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the physical packaging of the exact variant, especially if someone needs to avoid milk, soya or wheat.
With a regular box, you’ll need to keep pouring out more during your session if you haven’t set any aside in advance. That’s less practical if you want to avoid spills around a keyboard or controller.
Spoon a small amount into a bowl before playing, then close the main pack again.
The Kleintjes box described by Albert Heijn and PLUS is worth considering if you want individual portions and a variety of sprinkles.
Jumbo lists regular 300 g boxes of its own-brand milk and dark chocolate flakes for anyone who wants to measure out their own portions.
ALDI lists Kiekeboe milk or dark chocolate flakes in a 300 g box.
Lidl describes a 300 g pack of milk chocolate flakes as an in-store product.
These products are for measuring out your own topping for a gaming session. Note the difference between chocolate sprinkles, a mix of flakes and a box containing one type of flakes. If you want individual portions, don’t go by the pack weight alone.
