For a film night, start by checking the portions listed on the pack: Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter kano's, while Jumbo lists five for its Kano's met Roomboter. If you'd prefer smaller biscuits to share or save for lunchboxes, Jumbo lists nine portions for its Mini Gevulde Koeken met Roomboter; these are filled biscuits, not kano biscuits. Always check the current label for allergens before sharing.
Which size is right for you?
Sharing with a small group
If you want to give everyone one biscuit, the number of individual portions matters more than the pack weight alone. Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter kano's, while Jumbo lists five for its Kano's met Roomboter.
Portioning leftovers for lunchboxes
If you'd prefer smaller individual biscuits, you could consider Jumbo Mini Gevulde Koeken met Roomboter. Jumbo lists nine 30 g portions; choose these only if a filled biscuit is also what you're looking for.
Checking allergens before sharing
If anyone needs to avoid certain ingredients, check the label on the exact pack you plan to serve. The products reviewed include ingredients such as wheat, milk, egg, soya and almond; warnings about possible traces may also vary by product.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how many individual biscuits you need and whether mini filled biscuits are an acceptable alternative to kano biscuits. Then consider which pack size will suit any leftovers, and check the label before sharing.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming pack weight tells you how many biscuits there are
Similar pack weights don't tell you how many individual portions you can hand out. Albert Heijn lists six portions in 270 g of AH Roomboter kano's; Jumbo lists five portions in 275 g of Kano's met Roomboter.
Count the portions on the pack before deciding how many packs you'll need for your group.
-
Treating mini filled biscuits as kano biscuits
Jumbo lists nine smaller portions for its Mini Gevulde Koeken met Roomboter, but describes this product as filled biscuits, not kano biscuits.
Choose this size if smaller biscuits matter more than the kano shape; otherwise, check that the product is specifically described as kano biscuits.
-
Relying only on the online ingredients list
The products reviewed differ in their listed allergens and warnings about possible traces. Product information may also change.
Read the current label on the pack before buying, then check it again before sharing the biscuits with others.
