If you’re looking for spritz biscuits with a stated layer of dark chocolate, Jumbo and PLUS offer 200 g packs containing 18% dark chocolate, while Albert Heijn lists AH Choco spritsen in a 180 g pack with five 36 g servings. These percentages refer to the proportion of chocolate in the biscuit, not the cocoa content of the chocolate. So, if cocoa content is important to your choice, check whether an explicit cocoa percentage is given. And if you’re buying for a group, always check the allergens on the pack.
If you’d rather not serve milk chocolate at a work meeting, look for spritz biscuits with a clearly stated layer of dark chocolate. Jumbo, PLUS and Albert Heijn list dark chocolate as making up 15% or 18% of the biscuit. If you need a specific cocoa content, the percentage for the chocolate itself should be shown on the label.
For a meeting, the stated serving size can help you choose the right quantity. Albert Heijn lists five 36 g servings per pack of AH Choco spritsen; Jumbo lists fifteen 13.3 g servings per pack.
The spritz biscuits described here contain ingredients including wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. Jumbo and PLUS also list egg as an ingredient. Check the ingredients list for the variant you’re buying, including any statements about possible traces.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Dark chocolate and cocoa | Compare the proportion of dark chocolate in the biscuit with any separately stated cocoa percentage for that chocolate. | I want to serve spritz biscuits made with dark rather than milk chocolate, and I’ll only assume a high cocoa content if the label confirms it. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this flavour choice. |
| Quantity and servings | Check the net weight, number of servings and serving size per pack. | I want to know in advance how many portions I can hand out at my meeting. Around 33% of consumers prioritise portion planning. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients list and check the current packaging for any statements about possible traces. | If anyone attending needs to avoid allergens, I want to know exactly what’s in the biscuits I choose. This is the most important consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
The 18% listed by Jumbo and PLUS and the 15% listed by Albert Heijn refer to the amount of dark chocolate in the whole biscuit. They don’t tell you how much cocoa the chocolate contains or how intense the biscuits taste.
If you need a specific cocoa content, check the current packaging or product details for the percentage in the chocolate itself.
The variants described contain several allergens. For AH Choco spritsen, possible traces of egg, oats, rye and almonds are listed, in addition to the allergens present in the product.
Check in advance which allergens are relevant and read the ingredients list and warnings on the exact pack you’ll be handing out. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients list.
Albert Heijn marks Verkade Sprits Dubbel Choco as discontinued on its product page. The Verkade Nobo Spritzed variant described by Joybuy is made with milk chocolate, so it isn’t the same choice as a spritz biscuit with dark chocolate.
Before buying an alternative for your meeting, check the exact variant name, type of chocolate and current product information.

No. The stated chocolate percentages don’t tell you that. Jumbo and PLUS list 18% dark chocolate in the biscuit, while Albert Heijn lists 15%, but these figures don’t indicate the cocoa percentage of the chocolate. If that matters to your choice, check the separate percentage on the label.
If you’d prefer to plan around larger, clearly stated servings, Albert Heijn lists five 36 g servings for AH Choco spritsen. Jumbo lists fifteen 13.3 g servings per pack of its spritz biscuits with dark chocolate. Choose the quantity based on the number of people attending and how much you want to serve.
Only choose a variant after checking the relevant allergens on the current packaging. Jumbo and PLUS list ingredients including egg, wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. For AH Choco spritsen, Albert Heijn lists allergens present and possible traces of ingredients including egg and almonds. Check the exact variant rather than relying on a similar-looking pack.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose and seal it properly after use. Jumbo and PLUS say to store the biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place. For AH Choco spritsen, Albert Heijn advises storing them in a cool, dark, dry place and closing the pack securely.
