To find a spritz biscuit with a stronger dark chocolate flavour, check the type of chocolate listed rather than relying on words such as ‘dark’ or ‘double chocolate’. Jumbo and PLUS each list 18% dark chocolate in the biscuit for the spritz biscuits reviewed; this doesn’t tell you the cocoa percentage of the chocolate used. If a particular cocoa percentage is important to you, look for it on the label and check the ingredients and current availability before ordering.
You want a spritz biscuit made with clearly identified dark chocolate and may be looking for a particular cocoa percentage. Jumbo and PLUS state the proportion of dark chocolate in their spritz biscuits, but that doesn’t tell you the cocoa percentage of the chocolate itself. Check the label if that percentage will determine your choice.
The Jumbo and PLUS spritz biscuits reviewed list wheat, egg, milk and soya. If you need to avoid any of these ingredients, check the label on the pack you receive too.
You’ll also want to check the sweeteners, polyols and nutritional information. According to the Jumbo product page, the Damhert version with no added sugar is no longer listed in its online range, so check that you can actually order your chosen version first.
Start by checking the type of chocolate and the label. Then make sure the spritz biscuits are available for your delivery basket. If you’re choosing a version with no added sugar, compare the nutritional information as well.
