If you want to put out small spritz biscuits that guests can help themselves to, Jumbo Sprits Staafjes Mini is a 125 g product explicitly sold as mini. Regular spritz biscuits from Albert Heijn and ALDI can be planned by the number of biscuits, but they are not labelled as mini. For a larger gathering, Van Strien’s professional mini spritz biscuits are another option if you can access that supply route. Before you buy, check how many biscuits you need, and if anyone has allergies, read the label on the pack you’ll be serving.
The size you want and how you’re preparing for your drinks party will determine which spritz biscuit pack is most practical.
You want spritz biscuits that guests can pick up individually, so you’re looking for a clearly labelled mini size. Jumbo calls its pack Sprits Staafjes Mini; Van Strien states that its professional mini spritz biscuits weigh 7,0 g each. Check the pack to see how many you’ll get for your gathering.
You want to work out in advance how many biscuits will fit on the serving plate. Albert Heijn lists 10 biscuits in a 200 g pack of AH Spritsen, while ALDI lists 12 Biscotto Roomboterspritsen in 175 g. These regular spritz biscuits are not labelled as mini.
If guests need to take food allergies into account, check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack you’ll be serving. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that 14 allergens must be declared on the label.
First, decide whether each biscuit really needs to be small. Then compare the number of biscuits with your guest list and check the current pack for allergen information.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Small size | Check whether the product is sold as mini and, where stated, check the weight of each biscuit. | I want guests to be able to pick up a small spritz biscuit without mistaking a regular one for a mini. Around 50% of consumers prioritise a clearly small size. |
| Right quantity | Compare the number of biscuits with the net weight; decide whether a bulk pack is suitable for your group. | I want to have enough biscuits ready for my gathering, without choosing a pack that’s much bigger than I need. Around 30% of consumers prioritise planning the quantity. |
| Allergens and ingredients | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack of the product you choose. | If a guest has a food allergy, I need to be able to check which biscuits I can serve. For around 20% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
A pack that lists the number of biscuits doesn’t automatically contain small biscuits. AH Spritsen and ALDI’s Biscotto Roomboterspritsen can be counted, but they are not labelled as mini.
Choose a product explicitly labelled mini if size matters, or check the weight of each individual biscuit where this information is provided.
A 125 g pack of mini spritz biscuits, a 175 g pack of regular spritz biscuits and a 700 g professional tray don’t tell you by themselves how many biscuits you can serve.
Decide how many biscuits you want to put out for your guests, then check the number of biscuits or the weight per biscuit. If a pack doesn’t state the number of biscuits, don’t assume a calculated quantity.
A product’s ingredients can change, so a previous purchase or the product name is no substitute for checking the label on the biscuits you’re actually serving.
Read the current ingredients and allergen information, and if necessary keep a suitable alternative aside for any guest with a relevant allergy.
With Van Strien’s professional mini spritz biscuits, it’s important to store them properly after opening. The manufacturer advises sealing an opened tray securely.
Put out only the quantity you want to serve at that time, then seal the rest of the tray securely again.
