With De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g, expect a dry sprinkle rather than a squeeze-bottle topping: Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe it as crushed, sugared aniseed. For a film night, you can sprinkle it over individual snacks or desserts. If you specifically want to dispense it from a bottle, check the packaging and dispensing opening of the product you’re considering before you buy.
Who is this sprinkle for?
Anyone looking to finish snacks with a dry aniseed sprinkle
Gestampte Muisjes are a good fit for a film night if you want to sprinkle individual snacks or desserts and aren’t looking for a liquid topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo suggest using them on yoghurt and cupcakes, among other things.
Anyone checking the label for guests
If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, the packaging on the pack you’re serving is what matters. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
Anyone who wants to dispense it neatly from a bottle
If a squeeze bottle is important when serving, don’t choose based on the name Gestampte Muisjes alone. Check whether the packaging and dispensing opening of the specific product suit the way you want to finish your snacks.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether a dry sprinkle works for the way you plan to serve it. Then check the label, the snack you’ve chosen and the pack size.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming it comes in a squeeze bottle based on the product name
Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as crushed, sugared aniseed. That description doesn’t tell you whether it comes in a squeeze bottle or has a dispensing cap.
Check the packaging type and opening of the specific product before deciding how you want to serve it during your film night.
-
Relying only on an online ingredients list
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The information on a product page may differ from what’s on the pack you have in front of you.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you’re actually serving, especially if a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten.

Thinking Anijshagel and Gestampte Muisjes are the same product
According to Albert Heijn, Gestampte Muisjes consists of crushed, sugared aniseed, while Anijshagel is described as sugar sprinkles with an aniseed flavour.
Only consider Anijshagel as an alternative if a different kind of aniseed sprinkle also works with your snack.
