For a work meeting, start by choosing a pack that suits the way you plan to serve the biscuits. Individually wrapped portions are handy if attendees will take one themselves, while biscuits from a shared pack can be served by you. Then compare the number of portions with the group size and check the current packaging for ingredients and allergens; a chocolate coating or the word ‘dark’ doesn’t tell you enough.
Countable portions or small individual packs make it easier to share biscuits around the meeting table. Albert Heijn lists individually wrapped portions for AH Chocolade mini's karamel biscuit; ALDI lists six packs for Biscotto Mini Biscuits.
If attendees have mentioned allergies or other dietary requirements, the current packaging matters more than the product name or type of chocolate. Check both the ingredients and any warnings about traces.
If you’re looking for a biscuit with a chocolate coating rather than a filled snack, compare the number of biscuits and how they’re served. Lotus Biscoff met chocolade and Jumbo Chocolade Biscuits Puur are examples of different pack formats.
Work out how many people will want a biscuit, whether you’ll serve them yourself and which ingredients you need to check for the attendees. Only then compare the different types of biscuits.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Easy to hand out | Check the number of portions or smaller packs, and see whether they’re individually wrapped. | If attendees will take a biscuit between sessions, I want to hand out portions without having to divide the biscuits up myself. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this convenience. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and any warnings about possible traces on the pack. | If allergies have been mentioned, I want to check whether a biscuit is suitable for the attendees before serving it. This is the main concern for around 33% of consumers. |
| Type and quantity of biscuit | Compare the number of biscuits or portions, and decide whether you want to serve a plain biscuit or a filled variety. | For a coffee break, I’m looking for a familiar chocolate biscuit in a quantity that suits the group. This is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
For Chocolade Biscuits Puur, Jumbo lists gluten, milk, soya and wheat, as well as possible traces of nuts. Lotus also states that Lotus Biscoff met chocolade contains wheat, milk and soya.
Whatever type of chocolate you choose, check the ingredients and warnings on the current packaging for your attendees.
The net weight doesn’t tell you how many individual portions you can hand out. Albert Heijn lists 16 portions for AH Chocolade mini's karamel biscuit; Jumbo lists nine portions for Chocolade Biscuits Puur.
Work out how many portions you need, then compare the number of biscuits, individual packaging and serving format.
