For an office where people regularly share snacks, you could buy loose rusks and a larger pack of chocolate sprinkles: Jumbo, ALDI and Lidl list 600 g packs of sprinkles, while Jumbo no longer stocks the ready-made Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk it listed. Only choose a large pack if it suits your expected use. Keep the rusks separate until serving, and retain the packaging so you can check the ingredients and allergens.
If you’re preparing rusks with chocolate sprinkles for several colleagues, you could consider stocking up on a larger pack of loose sprinkles. Jumbo, ALDI and Lidl each list 600 g options; you’ll need to arrange the rusks separately.
When snacks are served from an open tin, the original packaging may not be close at hand. Keep the labels for both the rusks and the sprinkles so colleagues can check the ingredients and allergens in the combination you’ve chosen.
If you only fill the tin occasionally, a smaller pack gives you more flexibility to gauge how much you use or try a flavour first. For example, Albert Heijn lists a 380 g pack of dark chocolate sprinkles.
First decide whether you want to top the rusks yourself or find a ready-made sharing product that’s currently available. If you’re buying loose sprinkles, match the pack size to how much you expect to use, and keep the product information to hand when colleagues help themselves.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing supplies | Compare the size of the sprinkles pack with how much you expect to use; buy the rusks separately. | If several colleagues regularly join in, I don’t want to need a new pack after every sharing session. Having enough supplies is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current labels on both products and keep them available when serving the snacks. | When I prepare this combination for others, I want to be able to answer questions about the ingredients. Around 30% of consumers say this information is their top priority. |
| How much you’ll use and flavour choice | Compare pack size, best-before date and storage advice; choose the variety your team will enjoy. | If we only share snacks with a small group or do so irregularly, I don’t want to be left with lots of one flavour. Around 30% of consumers prioritise starting with a smaller pack to keep things flexible. |
The large packs listed by Jumbo and ALDI contain loose chocolate sprinkles, not rusks with sprinkles. So, if you’re putting the snacks together yourself, you’ll also need rusks and a little preparation.
Check the current product listing if you’re looking for a ready-made option. Jumbo says its Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk is no longer part of its online range.
Colleagues will no longer be able to check the ingredients and allergens in the rusks and sprinkles you’ve used. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses the importance of making allergen information available for unpackaged food.
Keep both packs or have the current product information next to the tin. Update it whenever you change a product.
A 600 g pack gives you more than a 380 or 400 g pack, but a small team may not get through that amount within the recommended storage period.
Compare how often you expect to use the product with the pack size, best-before date and storage instructions for your chosen variety.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt. So the word ‘rusk’ alone doesn’t tell you which salt was used in a particular product.
Check the ingredients of the specific rusks if the presence of baker’s salt matters to your choice.
Jumbo lists 600 g packs of milk, dark and duo chocolate sprinkles.
Jumbo lists De Ruijter milk and dark chocolate sprinkles in 390 g packs.
Jumbo lists Venz milk chocolate sprinkles in a 400 g pack, among other products.
Albert Heijn lists a 380 g XL pack of dark chocolate sprinkles.
ALDI Netherlands lists Kiekeboe chocolate sprinkles in 600 g milk, dark and mixed varieties.
Lidl Netherlands lists a 600 g pack of milk chocolate sprinkles as an in-store product.
These Joybuy products are loose chocolate sprinkles for anyone who wants to top their own rusks. The 600 g pack is suited to stocking up, while the smaller packs give you more flexibility if you expect to use less or want to choose a particular flavour. Rusks aren’t included with these products.

A smaller pack of loose chocolate sprinkles for anyone who doesn’t want to buy 600 g straight away.
Pack size: 380 g. Check the exact variety on the packaging before use, and refer to the labels on both the sprinkles and the rusks you’ve bought separately.
No. The 600 g packs listed contain loose chocolate sprinkles, which you combine with rusks yourself. Jumbo says the ready-made Beschuit met Hagelslag Melk it listed is no longer part of its online range. If you’re considering another ready-made option, check the latest product information.
Keep the current packaging for both the rusks and the sprinkles so colleagues can check the ingredients and allergens in each product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergen information must be made available when unpackaged food is offered to consumers, so don’t throw away the product information as soon as you fill the tin.
You can’t assume that based on the product category: according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt. Check the ingredients of the specific rusks if this matters to your choice.
A smaller pack is worth considering if only a few colleagues are joining in or you fill the tin irregularly. Compare the pack size with how much you expect to use, and follow the best-before date and storage instructions on the packaging for your chosen variety.
