At Albert Heijn and Jumbo, Muisjes are sold as sprinkles in 270 g or 330 g boxes, not as a bar or single serving. If you want Muisjes with your coffee, choose between crushed and whole grains, and check how much you plan to use and what the label says. If an individually portioned product is essential, don’t confuse portioned chocolate sprinkles with Muisjes.
You want to enjoy Muisjes without being left with a large amount. The ranges at Albert Heijn and Jumbo include 270 g and 330 g boxes. De Ruijter’s individually wrapped product at Albert Heijn is plain chocolate sprinkles, not Muisjes.
You’re looking for Muisjes to add to rusk, bread or yoghurt, for example, and want to choose between whole and crushed grains.

| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Single serving | Check the net weight and think about how you’ll store the box after opening it. A box of Muisjes isn’t a bar or a single-serving pack. | For a single coffee break, I don’t want to be left with more Muisjes than I’ll use. An appropriate portion size is the most important factor for an estimated 45% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the exact pack, including the amount of sugars per 100 g. | If wheat or sugars are important to my choice, I want to know what the variety I’ve chosen contains. Around 33% of consumers prioritise these checks. |
| Whole or crushed grains | Choose the texture you prefer and check which variety and pack size the retailer offers. | For rusk or yoghurt, I’d rather make a conscious choice between whole and crushed Muisjes. The texture is the deciding factor for around 22% of consumers. |
