Choose kano biscuits if you want to serve biscuits filled with almond paste for everyone to share during film night. Look for a box of chocolates if you’re after chocolate, a selection of flavours or gift packaging: kano biscuits are a different product category. For a group, compare the number of pieces and portions, and always check the packaging you buy for allergen information.
You want to put biscuits on the table and know in advance how to divide the pack among your group. Albert Heijn lists six biscuits in the AH BASIC pack described, while Jumbo lists five portions for its kano biscuits with butter. Also check the total weight and the other snacks you’re serving.
