You're right about the Age 😂 Mister De Ruiter got way back when it only was a local store in a small city, complaints from some older women and decided to create Gestampte Muisjes. = Crushed mice. The name mice came from the little tail which the anise have. And this is not a joke 😊
@@ElisabethÅkerbergNilsson I’m surprised Wilma didn’t get in on this one. This whole gang of people are from the Netherlands who send him things to taste test.
@kevartje1295 haha, I like watching Americans try Dutch snacks also and I use to talk to Highly in his discord and randomly came across the video and was surprised to see my name mentioned in the comments actually lol
When you eat kokosbrood, you need to butter your slice of bread first, best taste is roomboter (real butter, don't know the name in English - dairy butter maybe?). 👍🏻😋
1:04 Seeing lots of snack-tasting videos where the boxes of sprinkles are rigorously torn open, you gently fold the spout out like you have done this all your life. Thumbs up for that! 1:52 We got some good dental coverage in our health insurance. 2:22 That is aniseed. The whole seeds are covered in a layer of sugar. In the old days, most of those seeds had the stem still. This stem tends to stick out the sugar coating giving the impression of a little tail. The tail on the more or less oval shape reminds of little mice. Hence the name "muisjes". If one day the crunch gets too much, they thought of this. "Gestampte muisjes" translates to crushed mice and is made of icing sugar with ground aniseed. 3:28 As a kid I took one or two broken Bastogne, and crumbled it on bread. Yes, the Dutch kuy makes his own cookie sprinkles. It is best with a little ( _real_ ) butter. I will not admit, and not deny doing the same thing as an adult. Nor admit or deny still putting "speculaas" on my bread. 5:14 I dislike coconut also, and disliked "kokosbrood" as long as I know it exists. I do once in a while taste a little and can confirm today the taste is way more chemical than it was half a century ago. 7:15 Alcohol should not be in the product. Check the use-by date "Te gebruiken tot:". You might want to put it in an oven to revive it. Ten minutes in a preheated oven (180 °Celsius / 356 °Fahrenheit). Let it cool down before serving. 7:49 What is that? Must be relatively new, I've never seen it. Also, I don't like food staring back at me...
If you crumble the bastogne and mix it with cream cheese. Then make little balls, put them on a tray with a little stick in it, then in the freezer. When they are frozen, dip them into chocolate (explains the stick), and you have truffels. Also good with oreo cookies
Anise, Fennel and Licorice all have a similar flavor and taste. This is why youthink licorice with the Muisjes (Little Mice) as they are anise seeds covered in sugar. I understand why the Bastogne is in there but Lu is actually French (Lu stands for Lefèvre-Utile), Bastogne is a French region. The company started in 1883 in Nantes France. By now the company has procured brand names from French, Belgian and Dutch origin. One of the Dutch examples would be Liga. I haven't eaten Cocosbrood (coconut bread) in years, waaaay to sweet for my taste. I also don't really like the "hard" texture. Gevulde Speculaas is the best kind of Speculaas. Seems like I need to try that "Amaretto" (I am a "smoker" mot a drinker if you know what I mean) Not sure what is Dutch about the eyeball thingy, they are from Trolli, a German brand. Jelibon is Turkish
Stuur die man toch geen gekke gummiesnoepjes das nix nederlands aan! Negerzoenen, mergpijpes, gevulde koek, spijsbroodje, bokkepootjes, haagse hopjes, zeeuwse babbelaars, n blik erwtensoep,rondoos, kanoos, peperkoek, jodekoeken, krentebollen, worstenbrood………..

You are right, you need to have strong teeth when eating 'muisjes'. A colleague of mine treated us with 'beschuit met muisjes' when his son was born and I broke a tooth at the first bite🦷😬
If you keep receiving these kinds of snacks from the Netherlands, you should remove "Former Fatty" from your channel photo slider soon 😂😜 Lots of sugar, but very tasty and of course perfect on your birthday. Congratulations! 🎉
1:18 Didn't went to show off Dutchness... "You are months late!!"... Not a Dutch thing sir.. be on time, birthday is birthday.. The Dutch schedule to make time for YOU then and there. Only a relative's sudden death or a bombing is allowed for an excuse for the one you apoopoints with to have, not to show up. Otherwise.. the world can fall appart, WE have an appointment, and MY time is YOURS..That's why I scheduled it a week or two in advance :) No one gets time from me that day, I reserved it for you, because I vallue you and don't want to dishonour you with interruptions.
That bastogne cookie can be dipped in coffee without breaking... Its super nice
This is the way !
I am dying 🤣🤣🤣 Your face when you eat the sour candy. 😂
ive had the Gevulde Speculaas before, it was pretty good. I also had hagleslaag . good video!
I like the paste that's inside them, I think it's almond paste or something
I like your vids too Charlie!
@@ItsCharlieVest It is indeed made of almonds.
@@TheJoaveck thanks
The blue muisjes tast is anise. And that is sometimes an ingredient for licorice.

We only eat gevulde speculaas during Sinterklaas period. It is one of my favorites treats.
The "muisjes" are made with anise
Yes, an aniseseed with sugarcoating.
Speculaas with bread and butter😍😊
The muisjes we give to guests when a baby boy is born. We also have them in pink when a girl is born
Merry christmas to all out there and a great 2025
Always nice to try something new! 😊

Maybe Wilma was tired and will watch tomorrow?

Droge worst en Rookworst van de HEMA !
Niet vergeten een pak zelfgemaakte tompuce
You need to try some "Dubbel Zoute Drop / Double salted black liqourise", Bitterballen and Frikandellen.
Hi Nando, I have tried, the dropjes and the frikandel, go check out the videos 😁

The muisjes blue or pink is mostly used when a baby is born, blue when it is a boy,pink when it is a girl..
For older people we’ve got stamped mice “gestapte muisjes”
Dude I have the exact same cat tower!!! I mean.. MY CAT has the same as YOUR CAT(s)
😂
Love to see Americans eat Dutch food
Happy birtday 🎉
Bro, we have such different tastes. My favorite flavors in the world are ginger, black licorice, coconut, and coffee.
Not a good idea to eat the sour candy right after the very sweet gevulde speculaas 😂. Makes it seem even more sour.
Ja vind ik ook echt meer Nederlandse dingen erwtensoep andere koekjes speculaas heeft die nu wel genoeg gekregen.
