A breakfast table with different flavours
You want to offer several kinds of sprinkles on Sunday without opening multiple large packs. Check that the varieties in a multipack suit everyone’s preferences.
Which size suits you?
A small household looking to cut down on leftovers
You only use chocolate sprinkles now and then, and find individual portions more convenient than a pack that stays open for a long time after breakfast. Think about how many portions you’ll actually use.
A household that often eats the same kind
If the same kind is regularly on the table, a mix of individual portions may not be the best fit. A regular pack could suit you better if its contents match what your household uses.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you’re mainly looking for individual portions, different varieties or a pack for repeated use. Then compare the contents of the specific packs.
| What to consider | Check | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | The number of portions and the amount in each one. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions in 140 g. | I want to serve small amounts at one breakfast and avoid being left with several open packs. This need for portioned servings comes first for around 50% of consumers. |
| Different varieties | Which varieties are actually included in the multipack and whether that pack is available. | Not everyone at our breakfast table wants the same sprinkles, but I don’t want to open a large pack for every preference. This variety is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Repeated use | The pack size and the type of chocolate sprinkles you choose. | If the same kind will also be served at future breakfasts or lunches, I want a pack that suits that routine. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this regular use. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a familiar mini mix is still available
Albert Heijn lists Venz Mini's as discontinued. So a flavour mix you’ve seen before isn’t necessarily still available from that retailer.
Before ordering, check that the pack you want is on offer and see which varieties it contains.
-
Guessing the allergens from the brand name
The varieties in a multipack may contain different ingredients. The brand name won’t tell you which allergens are in the version you’ve chosen.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, even if you’re familiar with another mix from the same brand.
Brands compared
De Ruijter
De Ruijter Kleintjes is a 140 g multipack containing eight portions, for anyone who wants to serve individual amounts at the table.
- Albert Heijn’s product information mentions using it on bread, yoghurt and porridge, among other things.
- Check which varieties and ingredients are in the pack you choose.
Venz
Venz Mini's is an example of a mix containing different kinds of sprinkles.
- Albert Heijn’s product listing describes eight varieties.
- Albert Heijn marks Venz Mini's as discontinued, so don’t assume it’s currently available there.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists both Strooi Mini's in 140 g packs and regular packs of chocolate sprinkles in 380 g and 600 g sizes.
- The different sizes make it possible to compare individual portions with a pack for repeated use.
- Check the variety and contents of each pack; the size alone doesn’t tell you what’s inside.
AH
Albert Heijn has a separate product listing for AH Strooi mini's.
- The listing gives you a specific mini option to look up at Albert Heijn.
- Check the current pack contents and ingredients before comparing it with another mix.
Kiekeboe
Kiekeboe is the own brand ALDI lists for regular packs of sprinkles.
- ALDI lists Kiekeboe hagelslag puur in a 600 g pack and vruchtenhagel separately in a 400 g pack.
- Vruchtenhagel is not chocolate sprinkles, so don’t compare these products as if the only difference were the pack size.

Frequently asked questions
Does a mini portion change the nutritional value of chocolate sprinkles?
A smaller pack doesn’t automatically make chocolate sprinkles nutritionally different. Compare the nutritional information and ingredients of the specific varieties, and check whether the values are given per 100 g or per portion.
Should I check the allergens in every variety in a multipack?
Check the allergen information for the exact multipack and the varieties you want to use. Different varieties may contain different ingredients, so the brand name alone isn’t a reliable guide.
How should I store chocolate sprinkles after Sunday breakfast?
Follow the instructions on the pack you choose. For De Ruijter Kleintjes, Jumbo advises storing the product in a cool, dry place and checking the best-before date on the underside.
Do mini chocolate sprinkles always make sense for a small household?
No, it depends on how often you use chocolate sprinkles and whether individual portions or several varieties are useful to you. If you always eat the same kind, compare the contents of a regular pack with what your household uses.
