Choose a spritz biscuit with milk or dark chocolate to suit your taste, but also compare the stated serving size and net weight. Verkade Nobo Milk Chocolate Spritz Biscuits contain 15% milk chocolate; the Jumbo and PLUS spritz biscuits reviewed contain 18% dark chocolate. Dark chocolate does not mean these products are dairy-free, so always check the packaging if you have allergies.
If the type of chocolate determines your choice, you can compare the Verkade milk chocolate version reviewed with the dark chocolate versions from Jumbo, PLUS and Albert Heijn. Compare the stated chocolate percentage, and don’t rely on the type of chocolate alone when checking for allergens.
If you’d like a spritz biscuit with your tea or coffee, check how many grams the packaging lists as a serving. For the products reviewed, this ranges from around 13.3 g for Jumbo to 36 g for AH Choco Spritz Biscuits. Your own portion doesn’t have to match the one on the label.
If you’re choosing between a branded product and a supermarket own-brand, compare the net weight, type of chocolate, serving size and ingredients. This lets you compare the specific products without assuming that spritz biscuits with the same type of chocolate have the same ingredients.
When choosing chocolate spritz biscuits for a snack, first decide which type of chocolate you’d prefer. Then compare the specific packs using the serving size, net weight and allergen information.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Type of chocolate | Check whether it’s milk or dark chocolate, and look at the stated chocolate percentage. | I choose my spritz biscuit mainly for the taste of the chocolate coating. For around 33% of consumers, the type of chocolate is the most important factor. |
| Serving size and nutritional information | Compare the stated serving size in grams and the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving. | I want to decide in advance how much to have as a snack; around 25% of consumers prioritise serving size and nutritional information. |
| Pack size | Compare the net weight and the number of stated servings, especially if you won’t eat the whole pack at once. | If I’m buying spritz biscuits for several snack breaks, I want to know how much is in the pack. Net weight is the first consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Check the current ingredients list, allergen information and any relevant warnings on the packaging. | I need to check whether the spritz biscuits contain any ingredients I avoid. That’s why around 17% of consumers put allergens first. |
The Jumbo and PLUS dark chocolate spritz biscuits reviewed also list milk. So the type of chocolate doesn’t tell you whether the whole biscuit is suitable if you need to avoid milk.
Check both the ingredients list and allergen information on the specific pack.
The packs reviewed contain 150 g, 180 g or 200 g, and the stated serving sizes vary too. A bigger box doesn’t automatically mean a larger or smaller serving.
Compare the net weight and serving size if you want to spread the spritz biscuits across several snack breaks.
Product information can change. This is especially important if you need to avoid an ingredient and are buying a product again.
Check the pack you’re actually buying, even if you’ve had the same spritz biscuits before.
The serving sizes listed for the products reviewed vary: Jumbo gives 13.3 g per serving, while AH Choco Spritz Biscuits list 36 g. This means you can’t compare the number of stated servings without also checking the weight per serving.
Decide how much you’d like for this snack break and use the nutritional information for that specific pack.
