Regular coffee drinkers
If you often have speculaas biscuits with your coffee or tea, plain baker’s speculaas in a larger pack could be a good choice. Just make sure you’ll use it all.
Which option is right for you?
Smaller households
If you only have a biscuit now and then, a smaller pack may be more practical than a large one that stays open for a long time.
Shoppers checking ingredients
If allergens or choosing a vegan product matters to you, check the information for that specific variety on the current packaging.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you’re looking for plain baker’s speculaas, speculoos or filled speculaas. Then consider how much you’ll use and check the ingredients for that variety.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Plain speculaas for regular use | Choose the type of biscuit you want, then consider whether a 600 g pack suits how often you serve it. | For my daily afternoon coffee, I want a plain biscuit from a pack I use regularly. Around 39% of shoppers prioritise this regular use. |
| A smaller supply | Compare pack weights and check how to store the pack after opening. | If I don’t eat speculaas often, I don’t want a pack that stays open for a long time. A suitable pack size matters most to around 23% of shoppers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and any warning about traces. | If wheat, soya or nuts are relevant to me, I need to be able to check the specific biscuit before I eat it. Around 23% of shoppers prioritise these checks. |

Common mistakes
-
Assuming all speculaas biscuits contain the same allergens
The Jumbo Bakkers Speculaas product reviewed lists wheat and gluten, and may contain almonds and nuts. Lotus Biscoff product information lists wheat and soya.
Check the current label for the variety you’re buying, especially if an allergen is relevant to you.
-
Treating filled speculaas as plain baker’s speculaas
The ALDI filled speculaas product reviewed contains almonds and almond paste. The filling is therefore part of your choice, not just the pack size.
First decide whether you want a plain biscuit or a filled treat, then check the packaging for that type.
-
Choosing a large pack that stays open for a long time
A 600 g pack is better suited to regular use than to the occasional coffee break. Once opened, it’s important to seal it properly for storage.
Choose an amount you expect to use up and follow the storage advice on the packaging.
