Choose a multipack of individual sachets if you want to set aside a handy portion of chocolate sprinkles for each mealtime during your weekly shop, or if you’d like to alternate between different varieties. Albert Heijn lists a portion size for AH Strooi mini's, while De Ruijter Kleintjes contains sachets in two different weights. Check which size suits the way you’ll use them. A smaller sachet doesn’t change the nutritional value of the sprinkles themselves, so check the ingredients and allergens for each variety too.
For breakfast, lunch or a lunchbox, you might prefer to grab an individual sachet for each mealtime rather than sprinkle straight from a large pack. Check whether the weight of each sachet matches the amount you want to use.
If several people in your household eat chocolate sprinkles during the week, consider how many sachets are in the box and whether everyone needs an individual portion. A large pack means measuring it out yourself, but gives you more in one pack.
A mixed box could be a good choice if you don’t want to open a separate large pack for every type of chocolate sprinkles or flakes. Check which varieties it contains: a mix is only useful if everyone in your household will use what’s inside.
Start with the amount you want to set aside for each mealtime. Then check whether the total quantity and varieties in the box suit your weekly shop.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the number of sachets and the weight of each one. Albert Heijn lists a portion size of 18 g for AH Strooi mini's; according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains four 15 g sachets and four 20 g sachets. | If I want to set aside a sachet for lunch, it needs to contain the amount I plan to use. For around 50% of consumers, having a clearly defined portion is the top priority. |
| How much you need for the week | Compare the total quantity and number of portions with how much your household uses. Jumbo lists eight portions for Strooi Mini's and also sells chocolate sprinkles in 600 g packs. | If several people will be eating them, I want to know whether one pack will cover the planned mealtimes, even if I have to measure the sprinkles out myself. Around 30% of consumers prioritise having enough for the week. |
| Varieties in the box | Check which sachets contain chocolate sprinkles, flakes or fruit sprinkles, and check the ingredients and allergens for each variety. | If everyone wants different toppings, I look for a mix where all the varieties will be used. For around 20% of consumers, variety is the main reason for choosing a mix. |
An individual sachet makes it easy to see how much you’re using, but it doesn’t change the nutritional value of the sprinkles per 100 g. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre highlights sugar and saturated fat as things to consider when choosing chocolate sprinkles.
