Who is this choice relevant to?

Solo snackers who want to avoid leftovers

If you want to use one portion of chocolate sprinkles during a TV night, a pack of individual portions is worth considering. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions. It’s still a sprinkle-on topping for bread: you’ll also need rusks for your snack.

Snackers who like to switch up the flavours

If you don’t want to open a separate large pack for every flavour, look for an assortment with several varieties. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes combines different types of chocolate sprinkles and chocolate flakes in one pack.

Shoppers who want to compare labels

If ingredients, sugars or allergens influence your choice, compare the nutritional information and ingredients list for the exact variety. Information about De Ruijter Kleintjes lists milk, lactose and soya among the ingredients in some components; also check the pack for any ‘may contain’ warnings.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you want a measured portion of chocolate sprinkles or a pack you can sprinkle from yourself. Then check the flavour and label of the variety you plan to pair with rusks.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this most important for?
Portions and leftovers Check the number of individual portions and the amount in each one; remember that you’ll need separate rusks. If you want to use chocolate sprinkles for one evening without opening a large pack, portion size comes first. Around 40% of consumers rank this need highest.
Flavour and texture Compare the listed types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes. For chocolate varieties, check the cocoa content if it matters to your taste preference. If you want a different flavour or texture for your next snack, variety is likely to matter most. Around 30% of consumers rank this as their top need.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, along with the ingredients and any allergen or ‘may contain’ warnings on the pack you choose. If you want to compare sugar levels or need to avoid an ingredient, the exact label is key. Around 30% of consumers rank this need highest.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a portion pack is a ready-made snack

    Portioned chocolate sprinkles are a topping that you sprinkle onto rusks yourself. Jumbo’s product page for Jumbo Rusks with Milk Chocolate Sprinkles also says that this combined product is no longer available in its online range.

    Before buying, check whether the pack contains chocolate sprinkles, rusks or a complete ready-made snack.

  • Skipping the label on a mixed-flavour pack

    Ingredients and allergens can vary between components. De Ruijter Kleintjes lists milk, lactose and soya among its ingredients, and some components carry a ‘may contain’ warning.

    Read the ingredients and warnings on the current pack, even if you only plan to use one particular flavour from the assortment.

  • Counting only the rusks

    The amount of chocolate sprinkles also affects the nutritional value of your snack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives an average of 67 kcal for 15 g of dark chocolate sprinkles; the values for the product you choose may differ.

    Compare the nutritional information for the exact variety of chocolate sprinkles and check how much you use on each rusk.

Brands to consider

De Ruijter

According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes is a 140 g pack containing eight portions and several types of chocolate sprinkles and flakes.

  • Individual portions make it easier to choose how much you want for one snack.
  • It’s a sprinkle-on topping, not a ready-made rusk snack. Check the ingredients and allergens for each component.

Venz

Venz appears in the supermarket ranges reviewed, with several varieties of chocolate sprinkles, including milk and dark.

  • The varieties offer a choice of flavours and types of sprinkles.
  • Check the pack you choose for its contents, ingredients and portion format; chocolate sprinkles on their own aren’t a complete rusk snack.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn’s own-brand range includes AH Dark Chocolate Sprinkles in a 600 g pack, as well as a separate rusk category.

  • A regular pack lets you decide how much chocolate sprinkles to use if you eat them regularly.
  • You’ll have the rest of the pack left over after one snack. Check the current label for allergen and nutritional information for the variety you choose.

Jumbo

Jumbo’s range includes regular chocolate sprinkles and Sprinkle Mini's in an eight-piece pack.

  • The listed products let you choose between a regular pack and smaller portions for sprinkling.
  • The product page for Jumbo Rusks with Milk Chocolate Sprinkles says that this combined product is no longer available in its online range.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy rusks with chocolate sprinkles as a ready-made snack for one?

Don’t rely on a product name alone: Jumbo says that Jumbo Rusks with Milk Chocolate Sprinkles is no longer available in its online range. For another ready-made option, check the current product page to see what the pack contains and whether you can order it.

Is one portion of chocolate sprinkles enough for this snack?

You’ll need rusks as well as the topping. A portion pack helps you choose how much chocolate sprinkles to use, but it doesn’t provide a complete ready-made snack.

What should I look out for if ingredients or allergens are important?

Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. Some components of De Ruijter Kleintjes list milk, lactose and soya; don’t assume another variety has the same ingredients.

How should I store an opened pack of chocolate sprinkles?

Seal the pack tightly and store it in a dry place, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre for chocolate sprinkles. Also follow the storage advice on the pack you’re using.
