Choose a small mixed sprinkles pack if you want to buy a little for one evening and offer a choice of toppings; choose a regular pack of flakes if you want one variety to enjoy another time, too. A Kleintjes mix contains more than just flakes, and a small pack doesn’t automatically divide its contents into portions. Serve flakes as a separate sweet spread or topping alongside your stamppot night, rather than as an essential ingredient in the dish.
For one stamppot night, you might want a small amount for a separate sweet treat. At 140 g, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar is smaller than the 200 g and 300 g packs mentioned here, but it also contains sprinkles other than flakes.
One mixed pack gives you a choice of flakes, chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles without opening several packs. Check the current label for allergen information before serving the mix.
If you’d also like to enjoy flakes on bread, yoghurt or porridge after your stamppot night, a regular 200 g or 300 g pack may suit your needs better. Think about how much you’re likely to use before choosing a larger pack.
First decide whether you’re mainly looking for a small amount, a variety of sprinkles or flakes to use regularly. Then check the pack contents: a Kleintjes mix isn’t the same as a pack containing flakes only.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight and check whether the contents come in individual portions. | If I’m serving something sweet only on this occasion, I don’t want to be left with a large pack. A small quantity matters most to around 45% of consumers. |
| Mix or single variety | Read which sprinkles are in the pack and check whether it contains flakes only. | I want to offer a choice of toppings without opening several packs. Variety comes first for around 33% of consumers. |
| Using them after the occasion | Choose a pack size that suits how often you’ll use flakes in future. | If I eat flakes on other days, I find a regular pack more useful than a small mix. More frequent use is the deciding factor for around 22% of consumers. |
According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar, 140 g, also contains chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. If you want chocolate flakes only, you’ll get a different mix of contents than you might expect.
Read the full product description and check whether the pack contains individual portions if that matters to you.
Flakes are described as a sweet spread or topping. The Voedingscentrum’s stamppot recipes use potatoes, vegetables and other savoury ingredients.
Save flakes for a separate bread, breakfast or dessert occasion, unless you deliberately want to try a sweet version yourself.
The Kleintjes mix mentioned here lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and wheat, among other ingredients. Other varieties may have different ingredients.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack before buying and serving.
The pack weight tells you how much you’re buying, not how much to serve each time. A small pack also tells you nothing by itself about the nutritional value per 100 g.
Check the nutritional information for the variety you choose and decide for yourself how much to serve.

Chocolate flakes aren’t an essential part of stamppot. The product pages mentioned describe them as a sweet spread or topping; the Voedingscentrum’s stamppot recipes use potatoes, vegetables and other savoury ingredients. If you like, serve flakes at a separate sweet occasion.
Read the allergen information on the current label of the variety you’re buying. For De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar, the product information lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and wheat, among other ingredients; don’t assume other sprinkles have the same ingredients.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve chosen. The product pages mentioned recommend storing the flakes in a cool, dry place and keeping the pack tightly closed after opening. Also check the best-before date on the label.
