If you want to prepare portions in advance
You want to give guests a measured amount without having to keep sprinkling from a large pack. Albert Heijn lists eight individual portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes: four of 15 g and four of 20 g.
Who are these options for?
If you want to share flakes with a group
You’re looking for enough to serve several viewers and don’t mind measuring out the portions yourself. The Jumbo range includes regular packs of flakes in 200 g and 300 g sizes.
If you need to check the ingredients
You want to know which flavour and ingredients you’re serving. For its Kleintjes mix, Jumbo lists milk, soya, wheat and lactose, among other ingredients. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you buy.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want a mixed sprinkle mix or flakes only. Then choose between pre-portioned servings and a pack you can measure out yourself.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘Kleintjes’ means sachets of flakes only
According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions of a mix of flakes, chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. That matters if you want to serve chocolate flakes only.
Read the product description before choosing this portion format.
-
Relying on the product name when checking allergens
The Kleintjes mix contains several types of sprinkles. For this variety, Jumbo lists milk, soya, wheat and lactose, among other ingredients.
Before serving, check the ingredients and allergen information on the actual pack.
-
Assuming a smaller portion means different nutritional values
A pre-measured amount doesn’t change the product’s ingredients. What’s more, the nutritional information for a mixed sprinkle product isn’t necessarily the same as for a pack of flakes only.
Compare the nutritional information for the specific products, for example per 100 g and, where stated, per portion.

Frequently asked questions
Does De Ruijter Kleintjes contain only mini portions of flakes?
No. Albert Heijn describes the 140 g pack as eight portions containing chocolate flakes, chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles, among other things. If you want to serve flakes only, check the product description for a pack of flakes.
Which allergens should I check in the Kleintjes mix?
For the Kleintjes variety reviewed, Jumbo lists milk, soya, wheat and cereals containing gluten, among other ingredients; lactose is also listed. Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the label of the pack you’re actually serving.
How should I store the flakes after the watch party?
For De Ruijter Kleintjes, Jumbo says to store the pack in a cool, dry place. Seal an opened pack securely and follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the label.
Does a mini portion have different nutritional values?
A smaller portion doesn’t change the composition of the same product, but it does change how much you’re having. Check the nutritional information for the specific pack per 100 g and, if listed, per portion. Don’t use the values for chocolate sprinkles or a sprinkle mix as the values for regular flakes.
