Who is this relevant for?

Organisers who want to hand out sealed portions

At a reception, meeting or coffee break, each guest can take an individually wrapped biscuit. Bidfood and bol describe a box containing 40 spritz biscuits, each weighing 38 g.

Hosts serving sweet and savoury snacks separately

With a savoury party spread, serve a spritz biscuit separately with coffee or as a sweet finish, rather than as a substitute for savoury nibbles.

Smaller households sharing a coffee break

If a catering box is too large, a regular pack may be a better fit for the amount you need. Check the pack size, storage instructions after opening and the latest allergen information on the packaging.

What should you look for?

First decide whether you’ll serve spritz biscuits as a separate sweet treat alongside your savoury party snacks. Then choose between individually wrapped portions and a shared pack, based on the number of guests.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Individually wrapped portions Look for ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘wrapped separately’ and check the number of biscuits and weight per biscuit. If I want to give each guest a sealed biscuit, it needs to be clear that each one has its own wrapper. Around 50% of consumers prioritise this convenience for sharing.
Sweet alongside savoury Plan to serve spritz biscuits with coffee, on arrival or at the end of the gathering; choose separate savoury nibbles if guests are expecting them. When I’m hosting drinks, I don’t want a sweet biscuit to replace the savoury nibbles guests expect. For around 30% of consumers, keeping sweet and savoury separate is a key consideration.
Quantity and label Compare the number of biscuits and the net weight. Check the packaging for the best-before date, storage instructions, ingredients and allergens. For a small coffee break, I want a suitable quantity and to know how to store an opened pack. This need is the deciding factor for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Planning to serve spritz biscuits as savoury party snacks

    A spritz biscuit is sweet and isn’t a substitute for savoury nibbles.

    Serve spritz biscuits separately, for example with coffee, and choose separate nibbles for your savoury party spread.

  • Assuming a pack of spritz biscuits contains individually wrapped portions

    A statement of the number of biscuits doesn’t mean each one is individually wrapped.

    Before buying, check whether the specific pack says ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘wrapped separately’.

  • Relying on out-of-date allergen information

    Ingredients and allergens vary by product and may change.

    Before serving, read the label on the current packaging, especially if any guests need to avoid certain allergens.

  • Confusing total weight with portion size

    Bidfood and bol both list 40 individually wrapped biscuits weighing 38 g each, but the stated box weights aren’t exactly the same.

    When planning portions, use the number of biscuits and the weight per biscuit shown on the current packaging. Check the box weight separately if it matters for your purchase.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the product.
