My sister-in-law is dutch, and so this morning I was introduced to the very yummy breakfast treat of (imported dutch) chocolate sprinkles on toast.

Fortunately, I don't think I'm going to be able to find the imported dutch chocolate sprinkles, and thus hopefully at least not increase my risk of developing diabetes.

your very bestest friend, who once lived for a while in the netherlands, has a co-worker who still lives in amsterdam, and who would be happy to send unto me (free, via inter-office courier, even!) as many jars of dutch chocolate sprinkles as one might hope for.

all i need is the name of the brand ;-)

(see how helpful i can be when i try?? :)

Is my very bestest friend going to help me eat them?

Bess? Is that you?

It actually comes in boxes.. I'll see if I can get the name later.

bess would almost certainly help you eat them; unless they come in a low-carb version, i, however, shall not :)

Those would be the ones, yes.. though I am a milk chocolate girl.

I'm pretty sure you can get these in some grocery stores. There is a big Dutch population out in the wild near McDonald's Corners, and in our local $Loblaws_Deriative we have them.

I'm helpin', honest!

There used to be a really good dutch shop in downtown Guelph. I believe it was/is on Gordon St. They sold the sprinkles you are talking about. I haven't been to Guelph in a few years, so I don't know if they are still there.

My mom says that when we lived in Belgium she was shocked the first time she saw one of their co-workers make chocolate sprinkle sandwiches for her kids. But then she got used to it.

I think the Ital Deli on River has chocolate sprinkles, and I'm fairly certain I've seen then for sale in St. Jacobs, and I think I remember there's a Dutch import store in Elmira. If all else fails, I know the little Dutch store in Orono where Aurelia lives has them (more than one brand!)

Of course, none of this information is actually helping, I'm sure!
