Choose a large pack if you mainly want to fill a biscuit tin with one type of biscuit for your Easter brunch. If you’d rather offer a choice of flavours, opt for several smaller packs. For biscuits to serve with coffee, Lotus Bakeries Netherlands also lists Biscoff multipacks. Check the number of biscuits and the current label for each variety you choose, especially if your guests have different dietary requirements.
If you’re expecting several guests and want to serve one type of biscuit, the pack size and number of biscuits matter more than whether it’s labelled a ‘family pack’. ALDI Netherlands, for example, stocks packs weighing 380 g and 500 g.
For biscuits to serve alongside hot drinks, you could choose either a pack for the biscuit tin or individually wrapped portions. For Biscoff, Lotus Bakeries Netherlands lists options including 3 × 125 g and a Mega Pack of 20 × 2 biscuits.
If you need to take allergens or specific dietary requirements into account, check each product individually. Lidl Netherlands lists vegan options in its Sondey range, but that doesn’t tell you anything about the ingredients or allergens in another Sondey variety.
First decide whether you want to fill one biscuit tin, serve biscuits at different times or offer a choice of flavours. Then check the label on every pack you choose.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Amount for the biscuit tin | Compare the net weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits. | I want to serve one type of biscuit to several guests without having to open another pack halfway through; about 31% of consumers prioritise getting enough in the pack. |
| Easy to share | Check whether there are individually wrapped portions and read the storage instructions for after opening. | If guests arrive at different times, I don’t want to unwrap all the biscuits at once; easy-to-share packs are a priority for about 25% of consumers. |
| Different flavours | Choose the types of biscuits you want and decide whether a larger basic pack with a smaller extra pack would suit you. | I want to offer guests another flavour as well as a plain biscuit; for about 19% of consumers, having this choice at the table matters most. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on each specific variety, including any warnings about cross-contamination. | If guests have different dietary requirements, I want to check what’s in each biscuit; about 25% of consumers put this check ahead of their other purchasing preferences. |
The label doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you’ll be able to serve. Lotus Bakeries Netherlands, for example, lists a pack of 20 × 2 biscuits, while ALDI Netherlands also shows biscuit packs by weight.
Check both the net weight and the number of biscuits, then choose the pack that suits the way you plan to serve them.
A brand name or picture on the front won’t tell you which allergens are in the variety you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be clearly listed on food labels.
Read the current label on every pack and leave the packaging out for any guests who want to check the information themselves.
A large pack gives you plenty of biscuits of the same type, but no choice of flavours. The biscuit ranges at Albert Heijn, Jumbo, ALDI Netherlands and Lidl Netherlands include a variety of options.
Consider a larger basic pack with a smaller extra pack, and check the ingredients of both.
If you have biscuits left after brunch, follow the storage instructions for each opened pack.
A biscuit that’s part of a regular range won’t necessarily be available in the same pack when you do your Easter shopping.
Check the variety you want and its best-before date shortly before buying.
Lotus Bakeries Netherlands describes Biscoff as a caramelised speculoos biscuit, ideal for serving with coffee, among other occasions. The brand lists packs of 3 × 125 g and 20 × 2 biscuits; Jumbo also lists an XL pack of 2 × 10 biscuits.
In its everyday biscuits category, Albert Heijn lists a range of options, including 300 g tea biscuits and 500 g filled biscuits.
Jumbo’s biscuit range includes everyday biscuits, large biscuits and mini biscuits. It also lists a Lotus Biscoff XL pack of 2 × 10 biscuits.
ALDI Netherlands lists 500 g Sandwich biscuits and other biscuit packs for the tin under its own-brand Biscotto range.
Lidl Netherlands offers a range of Sondey biscuits, including biscuits and wafers, and also lists vegan options within the brand.
These Joybuy products offer different ways to serve biscuits at your Easter brunch: multipacks for serving at different times, 403 g packs for a biscuit plate and a smaller pack of Biscoff to go with coffee.

Consider this multipack if you don’t want to put all the biscuits out at once.
The product name states 10 × 66 g. If you’re planning by the number of biscuits, check how many are in each pack, and read the label before serving.

These vanilla biscuits are an option if you’d like to serve one flavour alongside other brunch biscuits.
The pack contains 403 g. Check the number of biscuits if you’re planning portions. The product description mentions a Christmas variety, so check whether the presentation suits your Easter brunch.

Consider this strawberry variety if you’d like to add another flavour alongside a larger basic pack.
The pack contains 403 g. Check the packaging for the number of biscuits and read the current label before offering them to guests.

This multipack is a good fit for a brunch where you want to serve the biscuits at more than one sitting.
The product name states 10 × 96 g. Check the packaging for the number of biscuits and check the ingredients and allergens in this variety before serving.

This pack is a good choice if you’re planning to serve speculoos biscuits with coffee or tea, rather than fill a large tin with a single pack.
The pack contains 250 g; the Joybuy product information states that it contains around 32 biscuits. If allergens are a concern for your guests, check the current label on the exact pack carefully.
That depends on the number of guests and whether you want to serve one type of biscuit or several. Compare the net weight and number of biscuits: ALDI Netherlands, for example, stocks packs weighing 380 g and 500 g, but these aren’t standard portion sizes.
Individually wrapped portions are useful if you only want to open some of the biscuits at a time. For filling a biscuit tin, a large pack may suit your serving plans better. For Biscoff, Lotus Bakeries Netherlands lists options including a Mega Pack of 20 × 2 biscuits. Check the storage instructions for your chosen pack too.
Check the current label on each specific product variety. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be clearly listed on food labels. Keep the packaging at brunch so guests can check the information themselves.
No, a vegan label doesn’t in itself tell you whether a product contains gluten or other allergens. Lidl Netherlands lists vegan options in its Sondey range; check the ingredients, allergen information and any cross-contamination warnings for the specific variety.
