If you want to serve muisjes (sugar-coated aniseed sprinkles) as a generous topping on Dutch rusks or bread, you can plan the quantity using a 330 g box of De Ruijter Celebration Muisjes: Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g. PLUS also says its crushed muisjes are suitable for yoghurt. For a larger group, compare the pack weight in grams with how much you expect to use before choosing several boxes.
