Mini chocolate sprinkles are worth considering if you want to take a sealed portion with you when you pick up chips, ready for later. De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight individual portions totalling 140 g; Jumbo lists eight portions of Strooi Mini’s, also totalling 140 g. The suggested uses include bread and yoghurt, not chips, so don’t choose them assuming they’re a substitute for chip sauce.
Picking up chips and want to take some chocolate sprinkles with you for breakfast or a snack later? A sealed portion means you can leave the large pack at home. The product information suggests using chocolate sprinkles on bread or as a topping for other dishes, not on chips.
Individual sachets make it easy to see how much you’re using each time. Albert Heijn lists four 15 g portions and four 20 g portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes. The packaging doesn’t change the nutritional value of the contents.
De Ruijter Kleintjes combines chocolate sprinkles, chocolate flakes and fruit sprinkles. It’s a good choice if you want variety, but not if you only want one type of chocolate sprinkles. Check the ingredients for the variety you choose, as these differ across the mix.
First decide whether you need an individual portion for later. Then compare the total contents and, if you’re choosing a mix, check the information for the variety you plan to use.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of sachets, the weight of each sachet and whether the mix also contains chocolate flakes. | If I want to take chocolate sprinkles with me for later after picking up chips, I don’t want to have to scoop some out of a large pack first. That’s why an individual portion would be the top priority for around 42% of consumers considering mini chocolate sprinkles. |
| Contents and leftovers | Compare the total contents with how often you expect to use the chocolate sprinkles. | If I only use chocolate sprinkles occasionally, I want to know whether I’ll get through all the portions. Avoiding unused stock would be the main reason for around 33% of these consumers. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the ingredients, allergen and nutritional information for the variety you choose, and check the portion size. | With a mixed pack, I want to be able to check what’s in my sachet before using it. That check would be the top priority for around 25% of these consumers. |
A small pack doesn’t change the suggested uses for chocolate sprinkles: the product information describes using them on bread, yoghurt and baked goods, among other things.
Think about whether you want to take a portion with you for a separate eating occasion. If you’re looking for something to put on the chips themselves, don’t let the word ‘mini’ alone determine your choice.
The ingredients vary between the different types in De Ruijter Kleintjes. So information for one variety doesn’t automatically tell you what’s in another sachet.

The suggested uses for these products don’t point to mini chocolate sprinkles being a sauce for chips. The product information mentions bread, yoghurt and baked goods, among other things. Take a mini sachet with you if you plan to use it for a separate eating occasion later.
According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions totalling 140 g: four 15 g sachets and four 20 g sachets. It’s a mix of chocolate sprinkles, chocolate flakes and fruit sprinkles, not eight sachets of the same type.
Yes, check the allergen information for the variety you plan to use. The ingredients vary between the different types in De Ruijter Kleintjes; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains which allergens must be listed on food labels.
Not necessarily: a sachet gives you a measured amount, but the nutritional value depends on its contents and the portion you use. Voedingscentrum lists 9,1 g of sugar for 15 g of dark chocolate sprinkles; that figure can’t automatically be applied to every mini variety. Check the nutritional information on the pack.
Follow the storage instructions on your product’s packaging. For a De Ruijter pack, Jumbo advises storing it in a cool, dry place. Leave any individual sachets you plan to use later sealed, and check the best-before date on the pack.
