A standard 390–400 g pack of chocolate sprinkles will suit one Oranje match if you use the rest later. If you want a set amount each time, check the pack size: the De Ruijter option listed contains 120 portions of 20 g, not one individual sachet. A 600 g pack is best suited to regular use beyond the match; check the labels on the rusks and chocolate sprinkles separately.
Which pack is right for you?
Solo viewer who wants set portions
If you don’t want to measure out chocolate sprinkles yourself for a match, look for individually packed portions. Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter box containing 120 portions of 20 g, so you’ll be buying a supply, not a single sachet.
Occasional user who saves the rest
If you have rusks with chocolate sprinkles during the match and use the topping again later, a standard pack could be a good fit. The De Ruijter and Venz packs listed contain 390 g and 400 g respectively.
Regular user
If you often make rusks or use chocolate sprinkles on other foods after the match, you could consider a larger pack. Jumbo lists 600 g packs, and ALDI lists Kiekeboe pure chocolate sprinkles in a 600 g pack. Choose this size only if you expect to use it all.
What should you look for when choosing?
For a single match, the main thing to consider is whether you want to prepare a set portion or use the rest of a pack later. Always check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you choose.
Individually packed portions
Best if: you want to prepare a measured amount each time.
Consider: the box listed by Albert Heijn contains 120 portions of 20 g, leaving you with plenty after one match.
Standard pack
Best if: you want to use the chocolate sprinkles again after the match.
Consider: with a 390–400 g pack, you can decide how much to put on your rusk.
600 g pack
Best if: you regularly enjoy chocolate sprinkles outside of football matches too.
Consider: if you’re only having one rusk during the match, you’ll have a lot left to store afterwards.
| What to consider |
What to check when buying |
Who it matters to |
| Set portion |
Check both the amount in each portion and the number of portions in the pack. |
If I’m only making one rusk for the match, I don’t want to measure it out myself or mistake a box for a single sachet. Around 45% of consumers put a set portion first. |
| Amount to save for later |
Choose between a standard 390–400 g pack and a 600 g pack based on how much you’ll use after the match. |
I want to use an opened pack again on future occasions, without buying more chocolate sprinkles than I’ll use. For around 33% of consumers, using up the rest is the main consideration. |
| Ingredients and allergens |
Read the ingredients and allergen information for the flavour and pack you’ve chosen. |
If I’m choosing based on milk or soya, I need to know what’s in this exact product; the word ‘pure’ doesn’t tell me. Checking the label is the main consideration for around 22% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘pure’ means ‘free from milk or soya’
For De Ruijter Puur 390 g and Venz Puur 400 g, Jumbo lists both milk and soya as allergens. So the flavour name alone won’t tell you which allergens a variant contains.
Read the allergen information on the pack of chocolate sprinkles you actually choose, and check the rusk label separately.
-
Mistaking a portion sachet for a single item you can buy
The De Ruijter pack listed by Albert Heijn contains 120 sachets of 20 g. In this case, individually packed portions mean buying the whole box.
Check the pack size before choosing portions for one match. Think about whether you’ll use or share the remaining sachets later.
-
Choosing a large pack for a one-off match
After one rusk, you’ll usually have a lot left to store from a 600 g pack.
Choose a pack size to suit how often you’ll use chocolate sprinkles after the match.
-
Applying information about baker’s salt to chocolate sprinkles
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority’s information about iodine in baker’s salt relates to bakery products. It doesn’t tell you what’s in the chocolate sprinkles you choose.
If the ingredients matter to your choice, check the product information for the rusks and chocolate sprinkles separately.
Brands to consider
De Ruijter
Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Hagelslag Puur in a box of 120 portions of 20 g. Jumbo also lists a standard 390 g pack of De Ruijter Puur.

Venz
Jumbo lists Venz Puur chocolate sprinkles in a standard 400 g pack.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a single sachet of chocolate sprinkles for one rusk?
The De Ruijter portion option listed by Albert Heijn is a box of 120 sachets of 20 g, not a single sachet. Check the pack size if you only need chocolate sprinkles for one match.
Are dark chocolate sprinkles free from milk or soya?
You can’t tell from the word ‘pure’. For De Ruijter Puur 390 g and Venz Puur 400 g, Jumbo lists milk and soya as allergens. If you have an allergy, always read the allergen information on the pack of the exact variant you’ve chosen.
Does information about iodine in baker’s salt tell me anything about chocolate sprinkles?
No, it doesn’t tell you what’s in chocolate sprinkles. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority discusses baker’s salt in connection with bakery products, so check the label on each product separately: the rusks and the chocolate sprinkles.
What should I do with an opened pack after the match?
Store the chocolate sprinkles according to the instructions on the pack you’ve chosen, and check the best-before date. A standard pack is best suited to anyone who expects to use the rest at future breakfasts or snack times.
