Choose chocolate-covered speculaas in individual snack packs if you want to take biscuits with chocolate on your night shift; they’re not an assortment of chocolates to give as a gift. If you’d prefer fewer biscuits in each sealed pack, the standard Lotus Biscoff Snack Pack contains two biscuits per pack, according to Albert Heijn, compared with three in the chocolate version, which has a chocolate coating. Check the current packaging for wheat, milk and soya in the chocolate version.
If you want to grab one sealed pack for each break, the pack size matters. Albert Heijn describes the chocolate version as six packs of three biscuits, and the standard Lotus Biscoff Snack Pack as eight packs of two.
If you want the combination of speculaas and chocolate, you’re looking for something different from standard speculaas or a box of assorted chocolates. Lotus Biscoff describes its chocolate version as speculaas biscuits covered in Belgian chocolate.
If you need to avoid wheat, milk or soya, the label is essential: these ingredients are listed in the product information for the Lotus Biscoff chocolate version reviewed here. Check the packaging of the product you actually buy.
First decide whether you’re looking for biscuits for a night shift or a box of assorted chocolates to give as a gift. If you’re choosing biscuits, compare the individual packaging, the flavour you want and the quantity for several shifts.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Taking individual portions | Check how many biscuits are in each individual pack and how many packs come in the box. | If I want to grab one sealed pack during a short break, a pre-portioned snack is my top priority. This would be the main consideration for around 42% of consumers. |
| Chocolate or standard speculaas | Check whether they’re speculaas biscuits with chocolate; if you’re looking for a gift with assorted chocolates, choose a box of chocolates instead. | I want my night-shift snack to have a noticeable chocolate flavour, not just standard speculaas. This would be the main reason for around 33% of consumers. |
| Enough for several shifts | Compare the total quantity and the number of individual packs on the packaging. | If I want to take biscuits for several shifts, I mainly need enough individual packs. Having enough to go round would be the biggest priority for around 25% of consumers. |
The Lotus Biscoff version described by Albert Heijn contains individually wrapped speculaas biscuits with chocolate, not an assortment of chocolates.
