Budget-conscious shoppers
You’re looking for something to share and want to avoid buying more than you’ll use. So consider both the pack size and how much you actually expect to eat during your snack night.
Who are these options for?
Small groups sharing snacks
You’re serving savoury coated peanuts alongside other snacks and don’t want to open more than you need. Choose a pack size that suits your group, and think ahead about how you’ll store any leftovers.
Shoppers with a preferred flavour or dietary requirements
You’re looking for a particular flavour or need to consider what your guests can eat. Check the variant and the pack label: flavours and ingredients can differ within the same brand.
What should you look for when choosing?
First work out how much you need, then choose a flavour and finally check that the ingredients are suitable for your guests.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and budget | Compare the pack weight with how much you expect to use. | If I’m sharing savoury coated peanuts with others, I want enough to go round without having lots left over. Around 39% of shoppers prioritise affordability. |
| Choosing the right size | Match the quantity to your group and the other snacks you’re serving. | If there are several snacks on the table, I want a quantity that fits in with them. Around 23% of shoppers focus mainly on getting the right amount. |
| Flavour | Check the flavour name and whether it’s mild or spicy. | If I want to serve a particular flavour, I’d rather choose it deliberately than rely on the brand or packaging alone. Around 23% of shoppers put flavour first. |
| Ingredients and labelling | Read the ingredients and any warnings on the exact pack. | If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to check the pack carefully beforehand. Around 15% of shoppers give the most weight to whether the product is suitable according to the label. |
Things to watch out for
-
Assuming a bigger bag is automatically the most convenient option
More contents are only practical if you’ll use them or can store any leftovers according to the pack instructions.
Choose a pack size to suit the number of guests and the other snacks. Store an opened bag according to the instructions on the packaging.
A larger pack could mean unused contents and extra storage space.
-
Assuming a vegan label means the product is allergen-free
PLUS Oriental-style savoury coated peanuts are labelled vegan, but contain peanuts and wheat. So a dietary label doesn’t replace checking the ingredients and warnings.
Check the exact variant and the current packaging, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination.
Brands to compare
Duyvis
A brand to consider if you’re looking for a particular flavour.
- Duyvis lists Cocktail, Provençale, Poesta and Oriental among its flavours.

Albert Heijn
The AH own-brand range includes Cocktail savoury coated peanuts.
- The AH product page describes a 300 g pack of the Cocktail variety.
- This specific Cocktail variety contains ingredients including milk and whey powder. Don’t assume the same applies to other varieties.
Jumbo
An own-brand option with Cocktail packs in different sizes.
- Jumbo lists 300 g and 500 g Cocktail packs, so you can choose a size to suit how you’ll use them.
- A larger pack doesn’t mean the flavour will differ from another brand’s. Choose based on the variety and quantity you need.

Another option to include when comparing savoury coated peanuts.
- Lidl’s Netherlands website has a product page for savoury coated peanuts.
- Before you decide, compare the specific pack’s flavour, weight and ingredients.

- The individual PLUS product pages describe these varieties in 300 g packs.
- The vegan label applies to the Oriental-style variety reviewed, not automatically to Mild or other products. The Oriental-style variety contains peanuts and wheat.
