Who are mini portions useful for?

People who want to take a little topping to the terrace

If you want to take a small amount of chocolate sprinkles with you for one occasion, individual portions can be more practical than opening a large pack.

Families who want to share different varieties

An assortment of chocolate sprinkles and flakes offers a bit of variety. Just check that everyone will enjoy the varieties in the pack.

People who use chocolate sprinkles regularly

If you also use chocolate sprinkles at home or with other people, compare how many occasions the pack will cover with the amount in a larger pack.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you’re taking chocolate sprinkles for one occasion on the terrace or also use them regularly at home. Then look at the individual portions, the pack size and the varieties included.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Taking portions with you Check how many individual portions are in the pack and how much chocolate sprinkle you want to use. Albert Heijn lists eight portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes; Jumbo lists eight pieces for Strooi Mini's. For one occasion on the terrace, I only want to take a small amount and be able to share it. Around 46% of consumers prioritise this need for portion-sized packs.
Varieties and ingredients Check whether the assortment contains chocolate sprinkles, flakes or both. Read the ingredients and allergen information for the varieties you choose. When sharing a topping, I want to be able to choose between different varieties without assuming that every portion has the same ingredients. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this variety.
Regular use Compare the total pack size with how much you expect to use; a large pack does not contain pre-portioned servings. I also use chocolate sprinkles when I’m not on the terrace, so I want a pack that suits this. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this regular use.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming an older mini variety is still available

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list Venz Mini's as no longer available in their online ranges. So an earlier description of the format doesn’t tell you whether you can buy it at your chosen shop now.

    Check the current in-store range or product page before choosing a specific variety.

  • Assuming every portion in an assortment is the same

    De Ruijter Kleintjes combines chocolate sprinkles and flakes. Different varieties may also have different ingredients.

    Before sharing, read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack, especially if anyone has a relevant allergy.

  • Mistaking chocolate sprinkles for a drink or a meal on their own

    A smaller pack doesn’t change what chocolate sprinkles are for: they’re a bread topping or garnish, not a drink.

    Before buying, think about what you want to serve the chocolate sprinkles with and how much you’ll need.

Brands to consider

De Ruijter

Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes chocolate sprinkles as a 140 g pack containing eight portions.

  • The pack contains both chocolate sprinkles and flakes; check that you want to use both varieties.

Jumbo

  • Check the current pack to see which varieties and ingredients it contains.

Venz Mini's are described as small packs containing different varieties of chocolate sprinkles and flakes.

  • The different varieties are worth considering if you’re mainly looking for variety.

Frequently asked questions

When are mini portions of chocolate sprinkles useful for an occasion on the terrace?

Mini portions are useful if you want to take a small amount of chocolate sprinkles with you as a topping or share them. If you use chocolate sprinkles more often, consider a larger pack too, and think about how much you’re actually likely to use.

Which small packs can I compare?

Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes chocolate sprinkles in a 140 g pack with eight portions, while Jumbo lists Strooi Mini's as eight pieces weighing 140 g. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list Venz Mini's as no longer available in their online ranges; check your shop’s current selection before buying.

Should I read the allergen information for individual portions?

Yes. Check the allergen information on the specific pack, especially if you’re sharing portions from an assortment. Don’t assume that chocolate sprinkles and flakes, or different varieties, have the same ingredients.

Can mini chocolate sprinkles replace a drink or a meal on the terrace?

No. Mini chocolate sprinkles are still a bread topping or garnish; the portion size doesn’t turn them into a drink or a meal. Choose the pack size based on what you want to serve them with.
