Choose individually wrapped mini chocolate sprinkles if you want to set aside a portion for a single evening snack: De Ruijter Kleintjes, AH Strooi Mini's and Jumbo Strooi Mini's come in individual portions. The small size doesn’t tell you how much sugar they contain per 100 g. So compare the nutritional information and ingredients for the variety you choose too, especially if sugar or allergens are your main concerns.
If you want to use one sachet on a slice of bread, a crispbread or a dessert, an individual portion lets you see how much you’re having before you start. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains 15 g and 20 g sachets.
If you want to add chocolate sprinkles but keep an eye on their nutritional value too, check the sugar per 100 g as well as the amount you use. A smaller pack doesn’t automatically mean a different recipe.
Ingredients can vary between the different types of chocolate sprinkles or flakes in a mix. So check the full ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack before you choose.
First decide whether a measured portion or the ingredients in the sprinkles matter more to you. Then compare the individual sachets and the labels of the varieties you’re considering.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check whether the pack contains individual sachets and how many grams each one weighs. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as containing four 15 g sachets and four 20 g sachets. | If I want to set aside a portion for one evening snack, I’d rather have an individual sachet than a large shaker. Portion control is the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Variety | Check which types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes the mix contains, and read the ingredients for each component. | I want to switch between different flavours and textures without opening several large packs. This variety is the main consideration for around 30% of consumers. |
| Sugar and ingredients | Compare the sugar per 100 g and read the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you choose. A product with less sugar doesn’t necessarily come in individual mini portions. | If I’m watching my sugar intake or avoiding certain ingredients, the label matters more to my choice than the sachet. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this comparison. |
An individual sachet helps you choose a portion, but it doesn’t change the nutritional value per 100 g. Albert Heijn lists AH Strooi Mini's as containing 73 g of sugar per 100 g.
Compare both the portion size and the nutritional information. If the amount of sugar matters more to you than having a pre-portioned snack, also look at products you can measure out yourself.
Chocolate sprinkles and flakes in the same pack can contain different ingredients. The flavour name alone won’t tell you which allergens may be present in each component.
Read the full ingredients list and allergen information for the exact mix, even if you already know one of the varieties.
Albert Heijn lists Venz Mini's as discontinued, while Jumbo shows the variety as no longer available in its online range. So a product listing doesn’t mean you can order these mini portions now.
Check current availability at the shop you plan to buy from, and decide in advance whether another mix with individual portions would also suit you.

Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack, including details for every variety in the mix. It may contain milk, soya or ingredients from cereals containing gluten, for example. Don’t rely on the flavour name alone.
Don’t assume they’re available online without checking stock. Albert Heijn lists Venz Mini's as discontinued, while Jumbo shows them as no longer available in its online range. Check current stock at the shop you plan to buy from.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. For the mini products mentioned, Albert Heijn and Jumbo recommend storing them in a cool, dark and dry place.
