Which pack is right for you?

Party hosts who want to portion servings for each guest

Individual sachets are easy to hand out at a breakfast buffet, cupcake bar or dessert table. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions weighing 15 g and 20 g.

Hosts who want to offer a choice

A mixed pack lets you put out different types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes without opening a large pack of each. De Ruijter Kleintjes offers this variety, but bear in mind that the ingredients may differ between varieties.

Hosts expecting lots of guests to help themselves

If chocolate sprinkles are a shared topping, you can compare the amount you need with the contents of a larger pack. Product listings from Jumbo, Lidl and ALDI include packs weighing several hundred grams; with these, you won’t be portioning them out for each guest in advance.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to hand out individual portions or let guests help themselves. Then check which varieties are in the pack and how much you’ll need for the table.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Portions Check how many individual sachets there are and how much each contains; small chocolate sprinkles aren’t the same as individually portioned servings. If I want to put something out separately for each guest, I don’t want to rely on one pack being passed around. Portion control is the top priority for around 50% of consumers.
Variety Check which varieties are in the multipack and read the ingredients for each one. For a Christmas table with bread and baked treats, I want guests to be able to choose different toppings, even if the ingredients vary between varieties. Around 30% of consumers put this choice first.
Quantity Compare the total contents with the number of guests and decide whether one pack will be enough. When lots of guests are helping themselves from a shared pack, I mainly want to make sure there’s enough without handing out sachets in advance. This is the top priority for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every variety in a multipack has the same ingredients

    The varieties in De Ruijter Kleintjes have different ingredients. The available product information lists milk and soya in chocolate varieties, for example, and wheat starch in fruit sprinkles.

    Check the ingredients and allergen information for each variety on the pack you’re serving, and keep the packaging by the table.

  • Looking only at the number of mini sachets

    Eight individual portions give you a different idea of how much you’ll need than a large pack that guests can help themselves to. De Ruijter Kleintjes contains 140 g in total.

    Estimate how many guests are likely to use the topping, then compare the total contents and the number of portions per pack.

  • Assuming an older mini variety is still available

    Albert Heijn lists Venz Mini’s as discontinued, while Jumbo says that its listed Venz Mini’s are no longer available online. Your party plans may need to change if they depend on finding this particular pack.

    Check current availability shortly before buying and, if necessary, choose another size that suits your table.

Brands and retailers to consider

De Ruijter

According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes is a 140 g multipack with eight individual portions of chocolate sprinkles, chocolate flakes and fruit sprinkles.

  • The different portions offer guests a choice without needing to open several large packs.
  • Ingredients vary between varieties; if you’re catering for allergies, check each one separately.

Venz

Venz Mini’s was a pack of ten small sachets containing a selection of varieties, according to Albert Heijn’s product information.

  • The pack combined individual sachets with a choice of varieties.
  • Albert Heijn lists this variety as discontinued; Jumbo says Venz Mini’s are no longer available online.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn is a retailer here, not a chocolate sprinkles brand. The De Ruijter Kleintjes product page describes the portions and the different varieties.

  • The product information helps you compare the pack size and ingredients.
  • When you buy, also read the label on the pack you’ll actually be serving.

Jumbo

Jumbo is both a retailer and a supermarket own brand. Its category listing includes Jumbo Strooi Mini’s, with eight sachets and 140 g, as well as larger packs.

  • You can compare a pack of individual sachets with a larger pack for sharing.
  • For Jumbo Strooi Mini’s, check the contents of each sachet and the ingredients on the product packaging.

Lidl

Lidl lists a 600 g pack of milk chocolate sprinkles for in-store purchase.

  • This size suits a table where guests can help themselves from one larger pack.
  • Check the ingredients for the exact variety and decide how much to allow per guest.

ALDI

ALDI lists a 600 g KIEKEBOE mix of white and milk chocolate sprinkles, as well as a 390 g De Ruijter pack.

  • These pack sizes are worth considering for a shared topping table.
  • A larger pack doesn’t give you pre-measured portions; check the ingredients for the product you choose.

Products for a shared topping table

For guests who want to help themselves to a topping, we’ve included a larger pack of De Ruijter Fruit Sprinkles here. This is a fruity sprinkle, not a multipack of individual portions of chocolate sprinkles.
