Who are cocktail nuts for a coffee break on the go relevant to?

Sharing at a coffee break

You’re buying for a get-together and want to choose a quantity that suits the group. Duyvis lists Cocktail packs ranging from 125 g to 1000 g. The amount your group needs depends on what you want to offer.

Taking leftovers with you

You’re taking the bag to work or a meeting place and want to be able to reseal it after opening. Albert Heijn explicitly describes its 250 g AH Borrelnoten cocktail as easy to reseal.

Taking dietary requirements into account

You’re sharing with people for whom ingredients or allergens are important. Duyvis Cocktail lists peanuts, wheat and milk ingredients, among others. Jumbo Cocktail 300 g lists peanuts and wheat, and warns that it may contain various other nuts. Always check the exact packaging.

What should you look for when choosing cocktail nuts?

First decide how much you want to share and whether you want to take the opened bag with you for later. Then choose a flavour to suit the group and check the ingredients and allergens.

The percentages below relate to consumers choosing cocktail nuts to share during a coffee break on the go.

Consideration What should you look for? Who is this most important for?
Quantity to share Compare the net weight with the number of people you’re expecting and how much you want to offer. When I’m taking a break with a group, I want to put out enough without having lots left over. Around 36% of consumers prioritise having enough to share.
Resealable packaging Check whether the exact pack is resealable and follow the storage instructions. If I’m taking leftovers along to another break, I want to be able to seal the opened bag easily. Around 29% of consumers prioritise taking leftovers with them and resealing the bag.
A flavour to suit the group Check the flavour name on the pack rather than assuming what the group will like. When several people are sharing, I want to choose a flavour they’ll enjoy. Around 21% of consumers prioritise finding a flavour to suit the group.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen warnings for the exact variety. If I’m sharing with people who have specific dietary requirements, I check what’s in the variety I’ve chosen first. Around 14% of consumers consider ingredients and allergens their main priority.

Common pitfalls when sharing cocktail nuts

  • Only checking for peanuts

    The flavour mix or crunchy coating may also contain other ingredients or allergens. Duyvis Cocktail lists wheat and milk ingredients as well as peanuts.

    Before sharing the bag, check the full ingredients list and allergen warnings for the exact variety.

  • Assuming every bag is resealable

    Storage instructions or a mention of a protective atmosphere don’t automatically mean the pack can be resealed after opening. Albert Heijn specifically describes the AH Borrelnoten cocktail as resealable.

    Look for an explicit resealable label on the pack, and follow the storage instructions too. If the bag doesn’t reseal, you may need a suitable clip or storage container.
