Common mistakes
-
Choosing a squeeze bottle based on capacity alone
The Muisjes in this selection are dry sprinkles, while Baktotaal describes squeeze bottles for liquid or semi-liquid decorations.
First, choose the box of Muisjes you want and a dry place to store them. Only use a squeeze bottle for the Muisjes themselves if the product specifications explicitly confirm it’s suitable.
-
Assuming the allergens in one variant apply to all variants
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter’s blue-and-white variant. This isn’t an ingredients list for every other colour or type.
Before serving, check the label on the exact pack you’ve received.
-
Working out how many packs you need without comparing their weight
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list whole Muisjes in 330 g packs and crushed Muisjes in 270 g packs. So, one pack of each type doesn’t contain the same amount.
Work out the amount you need in grams and check how many packs are included in your order.
