Choose spritz biscuits labelled as mini if you want to serve small biscuits and top them up between rounds; Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini in a 125 g pack. Regular spritz biscuits are a better choice if you care more about a classic butter variety or a chocolate coating than the size. Check the allergens on the pack you choose, and see whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.
If you want to top up a plate between rounds, spritz biscuits labelled as mini are worth considering. Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini in a 125 g pack; check the packaging if individual portions are important to you.
If you’re buying for guests with different dietary requirements, check the ingredients of the exact variety you’re serving. Product information from Verkade and PLUS shows that wheat, milk, egg and soya may feature in different spritz biscuit varieties.
If a classic butter spritz biscuit or a chocolate coating matters more than having small pieces, compare the regular varieties from PLUS and Verkade. Don’t just look at the flavour name: ingredients also vary between varieties.
Before your board game night, decide whether you want small biscuits or a particular flavour. Then check the pack you’ve chosen and whether it’s available from your retailer.

|---|---|---|
| Small bites | Check the size, net weight and whether the biscuits are loose or individually wrapped. Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini in a 125 g pack. | If I want to put out a few small biscuits each round, I don’t want to have to give everyone a large spritz biscuit straight away. For around 36% of consumers, ease of sharing is the top priority. |
| Availability | Check whether your chosen variety is available at the right time in store or for delivery, and whether the pack size is suitable. | When I’m planning the shopping for game night, I want to know whether I can get my chosen biscuits in time. Availability is the most important factor for around 29% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current ingredients and allergen information for each variety you’ve chosen on the packaging. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in the biscuits before serving them. For around 21% of consumers, checking this is their first concern. |
| Flavour variety | Compare the exact variety, such as a butter spritz biscuit or one with milk chocolate, rather than just the brand name. | When my group has a particular flavour in mind, I care more about that than the size. An estimated 14% of consumers prioritise the flavour variety. |
Small biscuits don’t automatically come in individual portions. The name Jumbo Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits have individual wrappers or how many are in the pack.
Check the pack description or the packaging itself if you want to hand out individual portions.
The ingredients in Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, NoboSprits Melk and PLUS Spritsen differ. So the information for one variety doesn’t tell you what’s in another.
Just before serving, check the ingredients and allergen information on every pack you’ve bought.
A pack of regular spritz biscuits and a variety labelled as mini don’t meet the same size preference, even if you like the flavour.
First decide what size you want to serve, then compare the flavours available within that range.
