If you want individual portions to take with you, Lotus Biscoff Speculoos Belgian chocolate, with six packs of three biscuits, could be a good choice. If you’re specifically looking for a speculoos biscuit with a layer of chocolate, check the product description carefully: chocolate with speculoos pieces or filling is something different. Before you check out, make sure the version you’ve chosen can be ordered for your delivery address, and read the latest ingredients and allergen information.
Want to serve a biscuit with coffee or take one with you without having to portion it out yourself? Albert Heijn lists Lotus Biscoff Speculoos Belgian chocolate as coming in six individual packs of three biscuits.
If you’re looking for something to share at home, you could consider chocolate-coated speculoos or a larger pack of chocolate with speculoos. Check the product format: chocolate with biscuit pieces isn’t the same as a chocolate-coated biscuit.
Before ordering, check the ingredients and precautionary allergen warnings for the specific version. The product information discussed here lists milk, wheat or cereals containing gluten, and soya, among other allergens. Other possible allergens vary by product.
First, decide whether you’re looking for a biscuit with chocolate or chocolate with speculoos. Then check the allergen information and make sure that exact version can be added to your delivery order.

The formats are different. Albert Heijn describes its speculaasrotsen as speculoos coated in 75% milk chocolate, while the product information for Verkade Hart melk speculaas says it contains 10% biscuit pieces.
Read the description and check what the stated percentage refers to: a chocolate coating, biscuit pieces or a filling.
A product being listed in an online shop doesn’t mean it can be added to your delivery basket. The pages viewed for AH Speculaas rotsen melk chocolade and Delicata Melk speculaas stated ‘In-store only’.
Check the ordering status for your postcode just before checkout. If you choose an alternative, check its product format and allergen information again.
Ingredients and precautionary allergen warnings vary by version. Albert Heijn also warns that product and allergen information can change.
Read the information for the version you’ve chosen before ordering and check the label when it arrives, especially if a particular allergen matters to you.
