If you want a single chocolate product with biscuit to enjoy while making Dutch doughnuts, start by looking at an individual bar and decide whether you want to save any that’s left. If you’d rather have small biscuit portions, chocolate-coated speculoos is another option; an XXL bar or multipack is better suited to several snacking occasions. Check the current label for each product if allergens are a concern for you.
You’re picking up a snack alongside the ingredients for Dutch doughnuts and don’t want a pack that’s intended for several snacking occasions. An individual bar suits that plan, but its weight doesn’t determine how much you want to eat in one go.
The chocolate products with biscuits or cookies described here include ingredients such as milk, wheat and soya; some also carry a warning about the possible presence of nuts. So check the label on the specific product you buy.
You’d rather have biscuits while waiting for the batter or between batches than eat a bar. Lotus Biscoff with chocolate is sold as seven packs of three biscuits.
First choose between an individual bar and biscuits or wafers in multipacks. Then compare the flavour, packaging and label with what you want to eat while you’re cooking.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Size for one snack break | Compare the net weight, number of pieces and whether the pack can be resealed. | If I’m picking up one bar for myself, I don’t want to get home with a sharing or multipack by mistake. An estimated 29% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and warnings about the possible presence of allergens on the specific pack. | If an allergen matters to me or someone at home, I need to be able to judge whether this product is suitable. Checking the label is the main concern for an estimated 36% of consumers. |
| Flavour and texture | Decide whether you want a filled chocolate bar, caramel biscuit, speculoos biscuit or wafer. | I want to know whether I’m getting creamy chocolate with biscuit or a crunchy biscuit. An estimated 21% of consumers consider this preference first. |
| Packaging with your shopping | Check whether your chosen product is available and how many pieces you’ll be taking home. | If I’m already shopping for Dutch doughnuts, I want to pick a pack that suits the number of times I plan to snack. This is the main consideration for around 14% of consumers. |
A larger bar or pack with several pieces can be a good choice if you want to share or save some for later, but it’s a different purchase from one individual bar to enjoy while cooking.
Compare the net weight and number of pieces. Choose a larger pack only if you plan to use the rest as well.
Products containing chocolate and biscuits or cookies may contain milk, wheat and soya; some also carry a warning about nuts. The brand or flavour name alone doesn’t tell you enough about the specific product.
Before eating it, read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the pack you’ve bought.
Albert Heijn Allerhande’s basic Dutch doughnut recipe doesn’t include a chocolate biscuit bar. A snack to enjoy while cooking isn’t automatically suitable for adding to the batter.
If you want to add chocolate or biscuits to Dutch doughnuts, follow a recipe that specifically explains the ingredients and method.

Chocolate biscuits for anyone who’d rather have biscuits than a bar while cooking. The pack contains 150 g, making it a different format from one individual chocolate bar.
Read the label for the ingredients and allergen information.
No. 100 g refers to the weight of the bar, not how much you want to eat in one sitting. Jumbo describes the Milka Choco-Biscuit pack as resealable, which can come in handy if you want to save some for later.
Always read the label on the product you choose, including the ingredients and warnings about the possible presence of allergens. The products described here include ingredients such as milk, wheat and soya; some also mention nuts or carry a warning about them. Don’t rely on the brand or flavour name alone.
Not as a matter of course in a basic recipe. Albert Heijn Allerhande’s basic recipe doesn’t include a chocolate biscuit bar. Enjoy the bar alongside your cooking if you like, or follow a recipe that specifically explains how to add it to the batter.
Follow Jumbo’s storage advice and keep the bar somewhere dry and away from heat. Reseal the pack after use and don’t leave the bar next to the hot deep-fat fryer.
