The 270 g and 330 g packs of Muisjes mentioned here contain loose sprinkles, not individually wrapped bars. For conference catering, use them as a topping on a snack prepared in advance. If you want to hand each attendee an individually wrapped portion, check that the product you choose is actually individually wrapped. For Muisjes, also check the label of your chosen variety and make allergen information clearly available when serving food that is not pre-packed.
You want to hand something out without having to spoon sprinkles on the spot. With loose Muisjes, you’ll need a base and a way to portion them. If you’re looking for an individually wrapped product, check the packaging.
You’re serving a group and want to be able to share the ingredients and allergen information for your chosen variety. For food that isn’t pre-packed, this information must also be clearly available to guests, according to Ondernemersplein.
