Which chocolate spritz biscuits are right for you?

Fans of milk chocolate spritz biscuits

If you want milk chocolate with your biscuits, check the chocolate coating and pack weight. If you’re sharing a plate, check the allergens on the pack too.

Fans of dark chocolate spritz biscuits

If you’re specifically looking for dark chocolate, compare the ingredients of the version you’ve chosen. Dark chocolate doesn’t automatically mean the biscuits are free from milk or other allergens.

Choosing how much to buy for your group

Whether you’re catering for several people or trying to avoid leftovers, the pack weight and number of biscuits or portions are more useful than the pack dimensions alone.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide which style of chocolate you want. Then check that the ingredients suit everyone at the table and that you have enough biscuits.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Chocolate style Milk or dark chocolate; a coating, or chocolate pieces in the biscuit too. I want to choose between milk chocolate, dark chocolate and chocolate in the biscuit for the film; around 31% of consumers put chocolate choice first.
Ingredients and allergens The ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the label of the specific version. If anyone joining us has an allergy, I want to know whether this particular pack is suitable for them; around 31% of consumers give this check top priority.
How much to share The pack weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits or portions. For a group, I want to serve enough biscuits without having too many left over; for around 25% of consumers, quantity is the first consideration.
Availability and storage Current availability, the date on the pack and storage advice after opening. I want to be able to buy the pack I’ve chosen and seal any leftover biscuits properly; around 13% of consumers put these practical points first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming dark chocolate spritz biscuits are automatically milk-free

    Jumbo lists milk, soya, wheat and egg, among other ingredients, in its Spritsen met Pure Chocolade. AH Choco spritsen met pure chocolade also lists milk and soya.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the specific pack before sharing the biscuits with others.

  • Taking a product page as confirmation that an item is in stock

    Jumbo’s product page for Verkade Nobo Sprits Dubbel Chocolade listed product specifications while also stating that the version was no longer in its online range.

    Check current availability before travelling to a shop for this version or preparing an order.

  • Leaving an opened pack uncovered

    Biscuits can lose their quality in storage and become soft or stale.

    Voedingscentrum advises keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container. So put any leftover spritz biscuits in an airtight tin.

Brands to consider

Verkade

Worth considering for Nobo Sprits with milk chocolate and a version with chocolate in the biscuit.

  • Verkade states that Nobo Sprits Melk contains 15% milk chocolate. The product information for Nobo Sprits Dubbel Chocolade also mentions chocolate pieces and cocoa nibs.
  • Check the allergens for each version. Jumbo reported that the Dubbel Chocolade version was no longer in its online range.

Jumbo

Worth considering if you’re looking for a supermarket own-brand spritz biscuit with dark chocolate.

  • Jumbo Spritsen met Pure Chocolade comes in a 200 g pack and, according to Jumbo, contains 18% dark chocolate.
  • According to the label, this version contains wheat, egg, milk and soya.

Albert Heijn

Worth considering if you’re looking for butter spritz biscuits with dark chocolate in a pack of five.

  • Albert Heijn describes AH Choco spritsen as five butter spritz biscuits weighing 180 g in total, with 15% dark chocolate.
  • The product lists milk, cereals containing gluten and soya among its allergens. If you’re sharing a plate, check the other information on the current label too.

Biscotto (ALDI)

Worth considering if you’re thinking of trying Biscotto butter spritz biscuits with chocolate.

  • ALDI Nederland describes Biscotto butter spritz biscuits as available in a plain version and a chocolate version.
  • For the chocolate version, check the label on the pack you’re buying, especially if the ingredients or allergens matter to your group.

Frequently asked questions

Can I share dark chocolate spritz biscuits with someone who can’t have milk?

Don’t assume they’re suitable: Jumbo lists milk in its Spritsen met Pure Chocolade, and Albert Heijn lists milk in its AH Choco spritsen. Check the ingredients and allergens on the current pack of the version you want to share.

What’s the difference between these milk and dark chocolate spritz biscuits?

The type of chocolate is different: Verkade states that Nobo Sprits Melk contains 15% milk chocolate, while Jumbo states that its Spritsen met Pure Chocolade contains 18% dark chocolate. These percentages describe different products and don’t, on their own, tell you which flavour you’ll prefer; check the allergens for each version separately.

How should I store leftover spritz biscuits after the film?

Store the biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container, as advised by Voedingscentrum. Seal an opened pack properly or use an airtight tin, and check for any changes in smell, taste or texture while storing them.

Can I count on finding a double chocolate version for film night?

First, check whether the version you want is available. Jumbo’s product page for Verkade Nobo Sprits Dubbel Chocolade stated that it was no longer in the online range, so an existing product description doesn’t confirm that you can still order the pack.
