Groups sharing biscuits
If several people are watching, the net weight can help you work out how many packs you’ll need. ALDI Nederland also lists 48 biscuits per 600 g pack of Biscotto Bakkersspeculaas.
Which pack is right for your group?
Viewers serving one biscuit at a time
If you’re putting biscuits out with coffee or tea, knowing how many are in a pack makes planning easier. Albert Heijn lists approximately 32 biscuits in a 250 g pack of Lotus Biscoff Speculoos.
Shoppers checking the label
If ingredients or allergens matter to you or your guests, check the specific pack. For example, Lotus Bakeries lists wheat and soya in Lotus Biscoff; this doesn’t tell you what’s in other speculaas biscuits.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, work out how many biscuits you want to serve to your group. Then consider how easy they’ll be to share and what information is on the pack.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming all speculaas biscuits contain the same allergens
Ingredients vary from product to product. Lotus Bakeries lists wheat and soya in Lotus Biscoff; this isn’t an ingredients list for other brands.
Read the ingredients and highlighted allergens on the pack you’re actually buying.
-
Assuming a product you find online is available straight away
A product listing doesn’t mean you can order or have the item delivered when you want it.
Check availability and delivery options before ordering for the match. If you choose a different product, check its contents and label again.

Start with the number of viewers and compare the net weight and, if stated, the number of biscuits in each pack. For example, ALDI Nederland lists 48 biscuits in a 600 g pack of Biscotto Bakkersspeculaas. Decide how many you want to serve and whether you can store any leftovers.
Should I check speculaas for allergens?

How should I store any speculaas left over after the match?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. For example, a Céréal product listing at Albert Heijn recommended storing the product in a dry place in a tightly sealed container after opening. For other products, check their own labels.
