Who are these spritz biscuits for?

Fans of milk chocolate-topped spritz biscuits

Would you like a crisp spritz biscuit topped with milk chocolate to enjoy during the match? Verkade describes Nobo Sprits Melk as just that. If you’re sharing, check how many biscuits are in the pack too.

For sharing around the table

If you’re putting out a plate for several people, think about how many biscuits you want to serve. Compare the pack sizes and, where listed, the number of biscuits: Albert Heijn says AH Choco spritsen contains five biscuits in a 180 g pack, while PLUS lists its chocolate spritz biscuits at 200 g.

For anyone who checks labels carefully

If ingredients, sugars or allergens are important to your choice, compare the nutritional information and allergen details on the packaging. The varieties mentioned contain ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya; other ingredients or warnings may also apply to individual products.

What should you look for when choosing?

Decide which type of chocolate and pack size will suit your match-night plans. Then check the label on your chosen spritz biscuits, especially if you’re buying for guests with allergies.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this important for?
Chocolate and biscuit Check whether the biscuits are topped with milk or dark chocolate, and look at the stated chocolate percentage. If flavour is my top priority during the match, I want to know whether I’m serving milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Around 40% of consumers say this is their most important consideration.
How much there is to share Compare the weight in grams and the number of biscuits, if this is shown on the pack. When I’m watching with others, I want to know in advance how many spritz biscuits I can put out. Around 30% of consumers prioritise how much there is to share.
Ingredients and allergens Read the allergen information and any ‘may contain’ warnings; if you wish, compare sugars, fat and fibre per 100 g. If I’m buying for a guest with an allergy, I need to know what the chosen pack says. When comparing nutritional values, I want to use the same quantity as a basis. This label information is the main concern for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Relying on the type of chocolate when someone has an allergy

    Milk, wheat and soya are listed as allergens in several of the spritz biscuits mentioned. Depending on the variety, egg or warnings about possible traces of nuts, sesame or almonds may also be relevant.

    If you’re serving someone with an allergy, check the allergen and ‘may contain’ information on the specific pack you’re serving.

  • Looking only at the sugar content

    The nutritional information listed by Albert Heijn for Damhert Chocosprits tagatose gives 10 g of sugars and 501 kcal per 100 g. The product description also warns that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.

    Compare nutritional information per 100 g, and check the ingredients and product warnings before choosing a variety.

  • Opening the pack well before the match

    According to the Voedingscentrum, biscuits keep best in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed pack.

    Open the spritz biscuits just before serving and reseal any leftovers securely. Follow the storage instructions on the packaging too.

Frequently asked questions

Can I serve chocolate spritz biscuits to someone with a milk, wheat or soya allergy?

Only choose a product after checking the label on the pack in question. The product information for Verkade Nobo Sprits Melk, AH Choco spritsen and PLUS Chocolade sprits lists several of these allergens; check for any ‘may contain’ warnings too. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses that allergens must be clearly shown on the label.

Is a spritz biscuit with less sugar also low in calories?

You can’t tell from the sugar content alone. Albert Heijn lists Damhert Chocosprits tagatose as containing 10 g of sugars and 501 kcal per 100 g. So compare the full nutritional information per 100 g and check for any warnings on the pack.

How should I store chocolate spritz biscuits until the match?

Store biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed pack, as recommended by the Voedingscentrum. Also check the date and storage instructions on the packaging, and reseal an opened pack securely after serving.

Is a product description in an online shop enough to help me choose for guests?

Use the description to compare varieties, but check the label on the pack you’ve bought before serving. This is especially important for the ingredients, allergens and any warnings relating to your chosen spritz biscuits.
