When choosing biscuits for your Boxing Day buffet, consider the number of individual portions and biscuits per portion, not just the weight. For the Lotus Biscoff XL pack reviewed, Jumbo lists 10 packs of 2 biscuits; the chocolate variety comes in 6 packs of 3. Also check the allergens for each variety, and check the current packaging and availability shortly before you buy.
If you want guests to be able to help themselves to a small portion, individual packs make it easier to work out how many you need. Jumbo lists a Lotus Biscoff XL pack containing 10 packs of 2 biscuits.
If you want to count in advance how many biscuits to put out, check the individual packs in a multipack too. Albert Heijn describes the Lotus Biscoff XL 3-pack reviewed as three separate items, each containing 10 packs of 2 biscuits.
Check the label on the pack you’ll actually be serving for each variety you choose. The regular XL variety described by Jumbo contains wheat and soya; milk is also relevant for the chocolate variety reviewed.
First, decide how many individual portions you want to put out. Then compare the number of biscuits per portion, the total quantity and the ingredients in your chosen variety.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Small portions to share | Count the packs and the biscuits in each pack. Jumbo lists 10 packs of 2 biscuits for Lotus Biscoff XL. | If guests are helping themselves to a little something, or I want to save some biscuits for lunchboxes, I need to be able to divide them into individual portions; around 36% of consumers prioritise portioning. |
| Enough biscuits for the group | Compare the total number of biscuits with your serving plan. The XL 3-pack described by Albert Heijn contains three separate packs, each with 10 packs of 2 biscuits. | For a larger family gathering or coffee buffet, I want to be able to check that there are enough biscuits alongside the other sweet treats; around 29% of consumers are most concerned about having enough. |
| Allergens and dietary requirements | Read the label for each variety and keep the ingredient information available when serving. A vegan label does not replace an allergen check. | When guests have different allergies or dietary requirements, I need to know which pack I can put out for each person; around 21% of consumers prioritise suitability. |
| Quantity and packaging format | Check whether a number refers to packs, individual packets or biscuits, and compare the current net quantity. | When comparing multipacks, I don’t want to mistake one large box for a bundle of separate packs; around 14% of consumers value clarity about the quantity and format above all else. |
Albert Heijn says the Lotus Biscoff XL 3-pack reviewed is supplied as separate items. That’s a different format from one box that everyone helps themselves to.
