Choose mini spritz biscuits if you want to serve small biscuits that guests can pick up individually, and the retailer confirms they’re available. Jumbo says that Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g is no longer part of its online range. Regular spritz biscuits are an alternative for your platter; check the serving size, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the packaging.
If you want guests to be able to pick up a biscuit without cutting or sharing it, check whether a retailer actually sells mini spritz biscuits. Jumbo no longer lists its Sprits Staafjes Mini as part of its online range.
If the smaller size isn’t essential, you can serve regular spritz biscuits individually. Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and AH Spritsen are examples of regular spritz biscuits, not mini spritz biscuits.
For a mixed group, keep the packaging beside the platter. The Verkade spritz biscuits we checked contain wheat and milk; the milk chocolate variety also contains soya. Always check the label on the product you’re serving.
First, decide whether the mini size matters more than serving classic spritz biscuits. Then check availability, the exact variety and the label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Small portions | Check that the product really is mini spritz biscuits, and look at the number of biscuits or the pack weight. | If I want guests to pick up small biscuits individually, size is my first selection criterion; it would be the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Availability | Check the range at your chosen retailer and decide in advance whether regular spritz biscuits or other small biscuits would also work. | I don’t want to rely on a mini product I can’t order, so around 25% of consumers would prioritise availability and a practical alternative. |
| Flavour | Compare the exact plain and chocolate varieties, and read the ingredients on the packaging. | For a platter with a range of flavours, I want to be able to choose between spritz biscuits with and without chocolate; this would be the main consideration for around 19% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the current label, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens. | If guests ask about ingredients, I want to be able to show them the packaging rather than rely on the brand name; allergen information would be the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
