Choose individually wrapped biscuits if you’d like to offer one small portion with every cup of coffee. For a more generous treat, look for a wrapper containing two biscuits or an individually wrapped soft cake. In every case, check how many biscuits are in each wrapper, and read the label before serving if your guests have dietary requirements or allergies.
If you’re setting out biscuits in advance or letting guests help themselves, one individually wrapped biscuit per person is easy to hand out. Lotus Biscoff offers packs containing 150 and 300 individually wrapped biscuits.
If your guests would like more than a small biscuit with their coffee, a wrapper containing two biscuits or an individually wrapped soft cake could be a good choice. A two-biscuit wrapper is less convenient if you want to offer exactly one biscuit to each guest.
If your guests have dietary requirements or allergies, check the label on the specific pack before choosing. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre stresses the importance of allergen information on labels, while Albert Heijn warns that online product information can change.
First, decide how many biscuits you’d like to offer each guest. Then consider the type of biscuit, and check the label on the pack you’ll actually serve if there are any dietary requirements or allergies to take into account.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| A neat, single portion to serve with coffee | Check that each wrapper really does contain one biscuit, and find out how many are in the box. | If I’m putting out one biscuit with each cup, I don’t want to open a pack every time. For around 42% of consumers, an individual portion like this is the top priority. |
| Size and type of treat | Compare the number of biscuits per wrapper and the type of biscuit, such as a crisp biscuit, chocolate biscuit or soft cake. | I’d rather give my guests something more generous than one small biscuit with their coffee. A larger or different kind of treat is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the current packaging. | If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know exactly what’s in these biscuits. For around 25% of consumers, checking this is their main concern. |
