Choose mini packs if you’d like to hand out individual portions during a games night. If you’ll use any leftover sprinkles later, a standard pack could also be worth considering. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as 140 g with eight portions, while Jumbo lists Strooi Mini's as 140 g with eight pieces. According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains different types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes. Check the contents and the label of the variant you’re considering.
Would you rather put an individual pack out for each guest than pass around one opened pack? The mini packs listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo each contain eight portions or pieces and weigh 140 g in total. Work out in advance how many guests are likely to want chocolate sprinkles.
If you’d like to offer more than one type of topping without opening several large packs, the contents of a mixed pack matter. Jumbo describes De Ruijter Kleintjes as a combination of chocolate sprinkles and flakes. Check the pack to see which types it contains.
If you’ll only use chocolate sprinkles during the games night, match the number of packs and the total weight to your group. If you’ll use an opened standard pack again later, a mini pack may not be the most practical choice.
First, decide whether you need individual packs or will use a standard pack again later. Then check the types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes, along with the information on the label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Count the packs and compare the number with the guests who want to use chocolate sprinkles. | If I want to put something out for everyone individually, I don’t want to keep passing around an opened pack. This would be the main reason for buying for around 45% of consumers. |
| Quantity and using leftovers | Compare the total weight and consider whether you’ll use any leftover chocolate sprinkles later. | I don’t want to be left with more chocolate sprinkles than I can use. This consideration would come first for around 27% of consumers. |
| Types and label | Check which types are in the pack, and read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values for the exact variant. | I want to give guests a choice and know what’s in their portion before serving it. This would be the main requirement for around 28% of consumers. |
De Ruijter Kleintjes and Jumbo Strooi Mini's are listed as containing eight portions or pieces, but that number alone doesn’t tell you how many you’ll need for your guests.
Count how many people want chocolate sprinkles, and check whether you’ll need extra packs to offer the range of choice you want.
Jumbo describes De Ruijter Kleintjes as a mix of chocolate sprinkles and flakes. Don’t assume that another mini pack contains the same types or ingredients.
Read the label on the exact pack, including the ingredients and allergen information, before handing out the individual packs.
On its product page for Venz Mini's, Jumbo says that this variant is no longer part of its online range. So an old product listing doesn’t tell you whether you can buy the pack now.
Check the current product page or the shop shelf if you’re looking for that particular variant.
An individual pack makes it easier to serve chocolate sprinkles at the table, but its size doesn’t tell you their nutritional value or how much someone should have.
To compare products, use the nutritional information for the exact variant and consider how much you’re serving.
De Ruijter Kleintjes is a mini pack for anyone who values individual portions and a choice of different types.
Jumbo Strooi Mini's is a supermarket own-brand option for anyone looking for chocolate sprinkles in individual packs.
Venz Mini's is a mini variant that was previously available, but you’ll need to check whether it’s currently in stock.
No. Individual packs are especially useful if you want to lay out portions separately. If your guests want the same chocolate sprinkles and you’ll finish a standard pack later, one pack may be enough.
Base your decision on the number of guests who actually want chocolate sprinkles, and allow for any choice between types. Albert Heijn lists eight portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes; Jumbo lists eight pieces for Strooi Mini's. For another pack, check the number on the label.
Read the allergen information on the pack of the exact variant before serving the chocolate sprinkles. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be clearly stated on the label of prepacked foods. Don’t rely solely on an older product page.
Follow the storage instructions and date on the pack you bought. For De Ruijter Kleintjes, Jumbo recommends storing it in a cool, dry place and refers to the best-before date on the underside.
The pack size alone tells you nothing about the product’s composition. Compare the nutritional values of the exact variants on their labels, and check whether the figures are given per 100 g or per portion.
