Who are mini portions suitable for?

Anyone putting on a breakfast or brunch spread

Want to offer guests a choice of flavours and textures without putting out several large packs? According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes combines different types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes in eight portions.

Anyone who wants to portion them out in advance

Individual sachets let you set out a portion for each guest or occasion. Both De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini's contain eight portions per pack; check the weight if you need them to be equal in size.

Anyone who checks ingredients carefully

In a mix, the different types of chocolate sprinkles, flakes and other toppings may contain different ingredients. So check the information on the pack for each type, especially if you need to take allergens or dietary requirements into account.

What should you look for in mini chocolate sprinkles?

Start with why you want small sachets: to offer a choice, provide pre-portioned servings or see what each type contains.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Variety Compare the number of types and check whether the mix contains chocolate sprinkles, flakes or other toppings. For a breakfast bar, I want to offer guests a choice of flavours and textures. For around 40% of consumers, variety comes first.
Portion sizes Check the number of sachets and the weight of each one; De Ruijter Kleintjes contains both 15 g and 20 g portions. If I’m setting out sachets for each guest in advance, I want to know whether they all contain the same amount. Portion sizes are the top priority for around 30% of consumers.
Ingredients Check the ingredients and allergens for each type on the pack. When I’m shopping for several people, I want to be able to check which types suit their dietary requirements. For around 30% of consumers, this is the most important consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every sachet is the same size

    According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains both 15 g and 20 g sachets. So this mix’s eight sachets don’t all contain the same amount.

    Check the weight of each sachet if you want to set out the same amount for every guest or occasion.

  • Assuming the whole mix contains the same ingredients

    The ingredients can vary between types. For De Ruijter Kleintjes, Albert Heijn lists wheat starch in the fruit sprinkles, among other ingredients. For the coloured sprinkles in Strooi Mini's, Jumbo lists E120 as an animal-derived colourant.

    Check the up-to-date ingredients and allergen information for each relevant type before serving the sachets.

  • Thinking a mini portion changes the nutritional value

    A smaller sachet doesn’t change the make-up of the chocolate sprinkles. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre highlights the sugar and saturated fat content of chocolate sprinkles.

    Use the portion weight and nutritional information on the pack to check what each sachet contains.
