If you want to serve traditional crispbread with aniseed sprinkles, choose muisjes: chocolate sprinkles are a different kind of topping. Then work out how much you need and, if you have dietary requirements, check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for the variety you choose.
You’re looking for a topping that suits the occasion. Jumbo lists aniseed sprinkles separately from chocolate sprinkles and chocolate flakes, so start with the product name rather than the colour of the packaging.
You want enough topping for breakfast or guests, without buying more than you’ll use. Compare pack sizes: Jumbo and ALDI, for example, list 600 g packs of chocolate sprinkles.
You want to know which ingredients and allergens the variety you choose contains. Jumbo’s product listings show that these vary between chocolate sprinkle varieties, so check the current pack.
First, choose between aniseed sprinkles and chocolate sprinkles. Then check the pack size you need and the information on the label.
