Muisjes (Dutch: [ˈmœyɕəs] ; lit.'little mice') are aniseed comfits and are a traditional Dutch bread topping. While customary on bread, they are traditionally eaten on beschuit, or rusk. Muisjes is a registered trademark of Koninklijke De Ruijter BV. Muisjes are made of aniseeds with a sugared and colored outer layer. They are currently only produced by the Dutch food processing company De Ruijter [nl], a brand acquired by Heinz in 2001.
