Choose a multipack if you only want to open a small bag for your Easter brunch. If you’d prefer a filled biscuit, consider a sandwich biscuit, but don’t assume the portion size will be the same. Whichever you choose, check how many biscuits are in the pack and read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product.
If you’re having brunch on your own and want to leave the rest of the pack sealed, a multipack makes it easy to choose a smaller portion. Check how many biscuits are in each bag, though: the Lotus Biscoff Snack Pack described by Albert Heijn contains two per bag.
If you’d like the biscuit itself to take centre stage at brunch, you could try a filled sandwich biscuit. Lotus Bakeries describes its Biscoff Sandwich Cookie as two speculoos biscuits with a cream filling between them. Compare the size of the product you choose with the portion you want to eat.
If ingredients or allergens determine your choice, check the packaging for the exact flavour and size. The classic Lotus Biscoff speculoos described by Jumbo lists wheat and soya; don’t assume the same information applies to other varieties.
First decide how many biscuits you want to open for brunch. Then compare the type of biscuit and, finally, check the label for the variety you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size and multipack | Check both the number of bags and the number of biscuits in each bag; a small bag doesn’t always contain just one biscuit. | When I’m having brunch on my own, I want to open one small portion and leave the rest sealed. For around 44% of consumers, a portion with clear limits is the priority. |
| Type of biscuit | Choose between classic speculoos and a filled biscuit; when comparing nutritional information, make sure you’re comparing the same unit and variety. | For my Easter brunch, I’d rather have a filled biscuit than a plain one with my coffee. Around 33% of consumers say that choosing a filled biscuit is their top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current packaging for the variety you’ve chosen. | I only want to serve biscuits after checking what’s in this exact pack. For around 23% of consumers, checking the label is their top priority. |
An individual bag may contain several biscuits. The Lotus Biscoff Snack Pack described by Albert Heijn contains eight bags, each with two biscuits.
Check both the number of bags and what’s in each one before choosing a portion.
A sandwich biscuit has a filling that a classic speculoos biscuit doesn’t. So the nutritional values for one variety won’t necessarily tell you about another.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g for the exact varieties, and also consider the portion you actually want to eat.
Albert Heijn notes that product information can change. Information you saw previously isn’t a substitute for checking the label on the pack you’re buying.
Check the current packaging for ingredients, allergens and the best-before date, even if you’re already familiar with the product.
A claim on a classic snack pack doesn’t automatically apply to a filled sandwich biscuit or another flavour.
Always check dietary claims and allergen information on the packaging for the exact variety.
Worth considering if you want to compare classic speculoos, multipacks and filled sandwich biscuits.
A retailer where you can check product details for specific biscuit packs.

These Joybuy products offer biscuits or stroopwafels for a brunch for one. A pack containing several items isn’t necessarily portioned as one biscuit per serving, so check how it’s packed before you choose.

No. The Sandwich Cookie described by Lotus Bakeries consists of two speculoos biscuits with a cream filling. If it matters to your choice, compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the sandwich variety you’ve chosen with those for the classic biscuit.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging. For the individually wrapped Biscoff biscuits it looked at, Lotus Bakeries recommends keeping them in a dry place away from heat sources.
Check the label on the exact pack you’re buying. According to Your Europe, prepacked foods sold in the EU must include details such as ingredients, allergens, a best-before or use-by date, and nutritional information.
