Choose a mini multipack if you want to serve individual portions at weekend breakfast, or offer several types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes without opening a large pack of each. If everyone usually chooses the same type, a standard pack may suit the way you use it better. When choosing minis, check the weight per portion and what’s in the mix: a small pack doesn’t determine how much you’ll end up using.
If you’d rather put a set amount on the table than sprinkle from a large tub, individual portions give you a clear starting point. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and De Ruijter mini multipacks each contain eight portions. Check how many grams are in each portion, and bear in mind that you can open more than one.
A mixed selection can be handy at a shared weekend breakfast if not everyone wants the same topping. AH Strooi mini's and Jumbo Strooi Mini's combine chocolate sprinkles, flakes and coloured sprinkles in one 140 g pack. Check the contents of the exact mix if someone has a strong preference.
If everyone always chooses the same type of chocolate sprinkles, a mix may not offer much extra. A standard pack lets you decide how much to serve, but the contents aren’t divided into individual portions in advance.
First decide whether you want individual portions or a choice of different types on the table. Then compare the weight per portion, what’s in the mix and the information on the exact pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion sizes | Check the number of portions and the weight per portion; De Ruijter Kleintjes contains four 15 g portions and four 20 g portions. | I want to decide in advance how many packs to put out at breakfast, without having an open tub on the table. For around 33% of consumers, portion sizes are the top priority. |
| Types in the mix | Check exactly which chocolate sprinkles, flakes and coloured sprinkles are in the pack. | If everyone wants something different, I like to offer a choice without opening several large packs. Around 27% of consumers say this variety matters most to them. |
| Pack size that suits your needs | Compare the pack contents with the types you actually use and the number of breakfasts you’re buying it for. | We usually put one favourite type on the table; the rest of a mix would go unused. That’s why a suitable pack size is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant; check any product warnings too. | I want to know what’s in each type in a mix before I serve it. Around 20% of consumers make this their top priority. |
Individual packs make it clear how much is in each portion you open, but several portions still add up. Pack size also tells you nothing on its own about the nutritional value per 100 g.
Check how many grams are in a portion and how many packs you plan to open at breakfast. Also read the nutritional information for the mix you’ve chosen.
A pack containing chocolate sprinkles, flakes and other toppings may combine different ingredients. The information for a product you bought previously may not match the pack you’re serving now.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, even if you already know the brand.
Jumbo specifically states that the Funnies in Venz Rimboe Beer Hagelslag are less suitable for children under 3 because of their size. This warning applies to this variant and not automatically to other chocolate sprinkles.
Read any age and usage warnings for the product you’re actually choosing.
These packs mainly differ in their portion sizes and contents. A standard pack isn’t the same as a mini multipack, so check the exact variant if individual portions are important to you.
AH Strooi mini's contains 140 g divided into eight portions, with milk and dark chocolate sprinkles, flakes and coloured sprinkles.
Jumbo Strooi Mini's combines milk and dark chocolate sprinkles, flakes and coloured sprinkles in eight portions totalling 140 g.
De Ruijter Kleintjes chocolate sprinkles come in a 140 g pack with eight portions: four of 15 g and four of 20 g. The pack combines chocolate sprinkles and flakes.
The Jumbo listing includes Venz chocolate sprinkles and Rimboe variants in standard packs ranging from 200 g to 400 g.
Lidl lists a 600 g pack of milk chocolate sprinkles.
ALDI lists Kiekeboe Vruchtenhagel in a standard 400 g pack. Vruchtenhagel is a different type of product from chocolate sprinkles.
No. A mini pack divides the contents into portions, but how much you use depends on how many packs you open. Compare the weight per portion and read the nutritional information for the exact variant if you want to assess its contents.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, as a mix contains different toppings. AH Strooi mini's lists milk and lactose; Jumbo Strooi Mini's lists milk. Don’t assume what’s in another variant based on the brand name alone.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you buy. Albert Heijn says to store AH Strooi mini's in a cool, dark and dry place; Jumbo says to store Jumbo Strooi Mini's in a cool, dry place. Check the date on the pack too.
Don’t judge by the appearance of the pack alone. Jumbo states that the Funnies in Venz Rimboe Beer Hagelslag are less suitable for children under 3 because of their size. This warning applies to that specific variant; read any warnings on the product you choose.
