If you want to give every child their own individually wrapped sprits biscuit, choose a product that explicitly says the biscuits are individually wrapped. Bidfood Nederland and Five Star Trading Holland describe De Molen Sprits as a box of 40 individually wrapped biscuits, each weighing 38 g. Also check the ingredients and the amount per biscuit: a wrapper doesn’t automatically make a sprits biscuit suitable for every guest.
You want to be able to count and hand out the treats in advance without opening a pack of biscuits. Bidfood Nederland and Five Star Trading Holland describe De Molen Sprits as individually wrapped; for other products, check that the packaging explicitly says the same.
If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, you’ll want to know exactly what you’re handing out. Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging for the variant you’ve chosen; an individual wrapper doesn’t change what’s in the biscuit.
Individual wrapping makes the biscuits easy to count, but it doesn’t tell you how much biscuit there is per portion. So compare the amount per biscuit with the other treats you plan to offer.
First decide whether each child needs their own sealed biscuit. Then check the ingredients and the amount per biscuit, whether you choose a box of individually wrapped portions or a standard pack.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portions for handing out | Look for an explicit statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped. Compare the number of biscuits with the number of children. | I want to give each child their own sealed biscuit straight away, without having to divide up a pack myself. This would be the main priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you’re buying. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check what’s in their biscuit before handing it out. This would be the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Amount per biscuit | Compare the amount per biscuit and the nutritional information with the other treats you plan to hand out. | I want to be able to decide whether one biscuit is a good fit alongside the other party treats. Portion size would matter most to roughly 20% of consumers. |
A statement giving the number of biscuits or the pack weight doesn’t confirm that each biscuit has its own wrapper.
Look for an explicit statement such as ‘individually wrapped’. If you choose a standard pack, plan in advance how you’ll hand out and store the biscuits.
Individual packaging doesn’t change the recipe. For Nobo Sprits Melk, Verkade lists ingredients including wheat, milk and soya; this information doesn’t automatically apply to other variants.
Find out which ingredients are relevant to your guests and check the current packaging for each variant you’ve chosen before handing them out.
An individually wrapped biscuit can still be a larger portion than you want to hand out. According to Bidfood Nederland, the De Molen Sprits biscuits listed weigh 38 g each.
Check the amount per biscuit and decide how it fits with the other treats at the party.
If you’re looking for a set number of individually wrapped sprits biscuits, Bidfood Nederland and Five Star Trading Holland describe a box of 40 biscuits, each weighing 38 g.
Verkade offers Nobo Sprits Original and Nobo Sprits Melk as different product variants.
ALDI Nederland lists Biscotto roomboterspritsen as a pack of 12 biscuits weighing 175 g.
PLUS lists Spritsen in a 175 g pack, with a Nutri-Score of E and the storage advice ‘store in a cool, dry place’.
No. Only assume they’re individually wrapped if the product description explicitly says so. Bidfood Nederland and Five Star Trading Holland describe De Molen Sprits as individually wrapped; a statement giving only the number of biscuits or the pack weight doesn’t confirm that each has its own wrapper.
Yes, because an individual wrapper doesn’t change the ingredients. Read the current information on the packaging for the variant you’ve chosen and find out in advance which ingredients matter to your guests.
Consider the amount per biscuit and what else you plan to hand out, rather than looking only at the individual packaging. The De Molen Sprits described by Bidfood Nederland weighs 38 g per biscuit; also consider the treat you’ve chosen alongside any arrangements with parents or the party venue.
Follow the storage advice on the packaging of the product you buy. PLUS advises storing its Spritsen ‘in a cool, dry place’; also check whether the packaging gives instructions for storage after opening.
