Choose a multipack of individual portions if you’d like to serve a few different types of sprinkles after your stamppot without opening a large pack. If you use the same type regularly, a standard pack may suit you better. Sprinkles are an optional sweet extra, not an essential ingredient in stamppot.
Which pack is best for you?
A small table where individual portions are useful
Would you like to offer a few sweet toppings after your stamppot without opening a large box? De Ruijter Kleintjes at Albert Heijn and Jumbo Strooi Mini's each contain eight individual portions. Check which varieties are in the box you choose.
Households that use sprinkles regularly
If you often use the same sprinkles on bread or as a topping, you could consider a larger pack. Jumbo and ALDI list examples in 600 g packs; consider whether you’ll use and store that amount.
Shoppers who check ingredients carefully
The ingredients may vary between the different sprinkles and flakes in a mixed box. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the specific product you plan to serve.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you really want individual sachets. Then choose the type you prefer, and check each relevant variety in a mixed selection.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘mini’ always means smaller sprinkles
De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini's are individual portions containing different types of sprinkles. The name alone doesn’t mean the sprinkles are smaller.
Before buying, check how many sachets there are, the amount in each one and which varieties are in the box.
-
Assuming all the varieties in a selection box are the same
Sprinkles and flakes in the same box may contain different ingredients and allergens.
Read the information for the specific variety you plan to serve, not just the front of the box.
-
Assuming an older product listing is still available in store
Albert Heijn lists Venz Mini's as discontinued, while Jumbo shows its listed pack of Venz Mini's as no longer available online.
Check the current product page before counting on a particular selection.

De Ruijter
Worth considering if you want to compare individual portions with a standard pack of dark chocolate sprinkles.
- Albert Heijn lists Kleintjes as eight portions of 15 g and 20 g, with different types of sprinkles and flakes.
- For a selection box, check the ingredients of the variety you choose. A standard pack of dark chocolate sprinkles doesn’t offer the same convenience as individual sachets.

Useful for comparing types of sprinkles and flakes, although not every listed mini pack is still available.
- The Venz Mini's listing at Albert Heijn describes a selection of ten small packs.
- Albert Heijn lists this product as discontinued; check the current store listing before making your choice.
Jumbo
Worth considering if you want to compare individual portions with a standard pack from the same range.
- According to Jumbo, Jumbo Strooi Mini's contains eight portions with different types of sprinkles.
- A standard pack doesn’t divide its contents into individual sachets in advance.
Kiekeboe
Worth considering if you’re looking for a larger pack of dark chocolate sprinkles.
- ALDI lists Kiekeboe dark chocolate sprinkles in a 600 g pack.
- If you want to serve individual portions, choose a pack that specifically contains individual sachets.

Frequently asked questions
Are mini chocolate sprinkles part of a traditional stamppot supper?
No, sprinkles aren’t an essential part of stamppot. You can serve them separately as a sweet topping; individual mini portions are especially handy if you want to offer a few different types without opening a large box.
What’s the difference between a stated portion size and a mini sachet?
A stated portion size tells you how much there is, but doesn’t confirm that it’s individually wrapped. If you want to set out a sealed portion for each guest, check how many individual sachets the pack contains.
How should I store sprinkles after buying them?
Follow the storage instructions and best-before information on the pack you choose. The product listings for Jumbo Strooi Mini's and De Ruijter Intens Puur say to store them in a cool, dry place.
What should I check for allergens in a mix of sprinkles and flakes?
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the specific variety you plan to serve. The varieties in the multipacks described here differ; depending on the variety, allergens such as milk, soya and wheat may be listed.
