Who is this relevant for?

Hosts who want to add a topping

If you’re serving crisp rusks or a sweet dish with coffee, you can use Gestampte Muisjes as an aniseed-flavoured topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo suggest serving it on bread, crisp rusks and yoghurt; Jumbo also uses it in sweet recipes.

Shoppers looking for an individual snack for each guest

If you want to hand out a ready-to-eat treat, it’s important to distinguish between a bar and loose sprinkles. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a 270 g pack that you portion out yourself.

Shoppers who read labels carefully

If your guests avoid wheat or gluten, it’s important to check the current ingredients and allergen information. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten; check the packaging itself before serving, too.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you want to share a topping or hand out an individual snack to each person. If you choose Gestampte Muisjes, consider how you’ll serve it and how much time you have to prepare. Check the label before serving.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Sharing with others Think about what you’ll serve the sprinkles on and whether you want to portion them out yourself. When I’m getting crisp rusks ready for friends, I want to decide how much topping goes on each one. Sharing and presentation are the top priorities for around 40% of consumers.
Different ways to use it Choose between adding a topping straight away and making a dish that needs extra preparation. If you want to make both a simple crisp rusk and a sweet dish, consider how much time and which ingredients you’ll need. Versatility is the top priority for around 30% of consumers.
Label information Check the current ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the packaging. If a guest avoids wheat or gluten, I want to know what’s in the product before serving it. Around 20% of consumers put checking the label first.
Individual portions Decide whether you want loose sprinkles or individually wrapped bars. If I want to give each guest their own snack straight away, a pack of loose sprinkles isn’t right for the occasion. An individually wrapped format is the main priority for around 10% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking Gestampte Muisjes are a bar

    The 270 g packs listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contain loose sprinkles. They can’t be handed out as individual bars.

    Choose this product if you’re happy to portion it out yourself when serving coffee. If you want a snack for each guest, decide what type of bar you’re looking for.

  • Relying only on an online allergen list

    The product listings mention wheat and cereals containing gluten. If these ingredients matter to your guests, the information on the packaging should take priority.

    Check the current label before serving, and if in doubt, choose a product whose ingredients meet your guest’s needs.

  • Forgetting what you’ll serve it on

    Gestampte Muisjes are a topping or ingredient, not a ready-to-eat treat to serve with coffee. You’ll also need a suitable base if you’re making a dish.

    For example, get some crisp rusks ready, or choose a recipe in advance and allow for the extra ingredients and preparation time.
