Who are these Muisjes for?

If you’re looking for a small pack for one occasion

You want to use Muisjes on your own breakfast or in a bake without having lots left over. For the varieties covered here, pack size matters more than colour: PLUS lists 270 g for crushed Muisjes, compared with 330 g for the whole varieties.

If you’re decorating with Muisjes for Mother’s Day

You want a colourful topping for something like a cake, and are choosing between pink, blue and white, or a finely crushed texture. Let the look you want guide your choice, while making sure the pack suits how you plan to use it.

If you need to check ingredients and allergens

You need the ingredients for the exact variety before you can choose. Joybuy lists wheat and gluten for the 330 g whole pink and blue-and-white varieties; check the latest allergen information on the packaging.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether a standard pack is right for one Mother’s Day treat. Then compare the pack size and appearance, and read the information on your chosen pack before use.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Pack size Compare 270 g of crushed Muisjes with the 330 g whole varieties, and think about what you’ll do with an opened pack. If I’m buying Muisjes for one breakfast, I want as little left over as possible. Around 42% of consumers put choosing the smallest possible pack first.
Colour and texture Choose between whole pink or blue-and-white Muisjes and a finely crushed variety. For a little Mother’s Day cake, I mainly want the topping to suit the look I’m going for. Around 33% of consumers give appearance priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the allergen information for the exact variety; wheat and gluten are listed for the 330 g whole pink and blue-and-white packs. If I need to avoid an ingredient, what’s in the product matters more than the colour or pack size. For around 25% of consumers, this is their first priority when buying.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a standard pack is a single portion

    Even the smaller pack of Gestampte Muisjes contains 270 g. PLUS describes the 330 g blue-and-white pack as containing around 22 portions, so neither pack is individually portioned.

    If you need individual portions, check the packaging format before buying. Only buy a standard pack if you’re happy to keep or share the rest.

  • Judging allergens by colour

    Joybuy lists wheat and gluten for both the 330 g whole pink and blue-and-white varieties. The colour doesn’t tell you which ingredients are in the pack.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging for the exact variety you want to use.

A relevant brand to consider

De Ruijter

Among the De Ruijter varieties covered here, you can choose between Gestampte Muisjes 270 g and whole pink or blue-and-white Muisjes 330 g.

  • PLUS describes the crushed variety as finely ground Muisjes; the whole varieties offer a different texture and a choice of colours.
  • These are standard packs, not individual portions. Check the ingredients and allergens on the current label for your chosen variety.
