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.
Who are these options for?
If you’re planning portions for guests
To work out how many boxes you’ll need, first decide how much muisjes you want to serve each guest. Albert Heijn lists 22 servings of 15 g for its 330 g box of De Ruijter Celebration Muisjes. That doesn’t automatically mean 22 guests.
If you want to dress up your coffee spread
If you’re serving muisjes on Dutch rusks, bread or crackers, their shape and colour matter. PLUS lists these uses for De Ruijter Celebration Muisjes.
If you’re checking ingredients for guests
If any guests need to avoid wheat or gluten, the label is essential. Jumbo lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals for both the Celebration Muisjes and the crushed De Ruijter muisjes mentioned here.

Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming the number of labelled servings equals the number of guests
A serving on the pack has a set weight in grams. Albert Heijn lists 15 g per serving for its 330 g box of Celebration Muisjes, but guests may use more or less.
Choose an amount to sprinkle per guest, then use it to calculate how many grams you’ll need for your group.
-
Checking for allergens only once you’re at the table
Jumbo lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals for the whole and crushed De Ruijter muisjes mentioned here. This is important if a guest needs to avoid these ingredients.
Ask about any dietary requirements in advance, read the current label and provide a suitable alternative if needed.
-
Leaving the pack open until it’s time for coffee
Joybuy advises storing De Ruijter Blue & White Muisjes in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, heat and moisture.
Follow the storage instructions on your own pack and reseal it after opening.
