A large pack of speculaas works well for a team sharing from one supply, as long as you can seal the rest properly after opening. If colleagues take breaks at different times, individually wrapped portions or packs of two are easier to hand out. Before buying, check how many biscuits you need, and read the latest label if ingredients, allergens or nutritional values matter to your team.
If you’re putting biscuits out for several colleagues, first count how many portions you want to hand out. Jumbo and Albert Heijn list around 48 portions in their 600 g packs of bakers’ speculaas; ALDI lists 48 biscuits per 600 g pack. Make sure you can seal the rest after opening.
If everyone doesn’t take a break at the same time, you can set aside individual portions in advance. Lotus Biscoff offers varieties with two biscuits per pack, while De Molen's Banket lists individually wrapped filled biscuits. These are different sharing options from an open pack of plain speculaas.
If you need to consider allergens or dietary preferences, don’t choose based on pack size alone. Before handing out biscuits, check the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional details on the current packaging for each product.
Best for: a team that can help itself from one shared supply throughout the shift.
Consider: after opening, you’ll need to seal the rest according to the storage instructions.
Best for: colleagues taking breaks at different times who want biscuits portioned in advance.
Consider: a pack of individually portioned biscuits won’t necessarily contain as many biscuits as a large sharing pack.
Best for: giving each colleague one filled biscuit.
Consider: these are larger portions and a different type of biscuit from plain speculaas.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough biscuits | Compare the pack size and the stated number of biscuits or portions. For their 600 g packs, Jumbo and Albert Heijn list around 48 portions; ALDI lists 48 biscuits in its 600 g pack. | I want colleagues to be able to help themselves from the same supply during the shift without putting too few out. That’s why around 33% of consumers put having enough biscuits first. |
| Handing out portions | Check whether the biscuits are wrapped individually or in pairs, and how many portions the pack contains. | If breaks are staggered, I want to be able to set out portions without having to use an open pack each time. For around 27% of consumers, ease of sharing is the most important factor. |
| Allergens and nutritional information | Read the allergen information and compare the nutritional values per 100 g and for the portion you have in mind. | I want to know whether I can share these biscuits with the team and what each portion contains. For around 20% of consumers, this is their first consideration. |
| Availability | Before ordering, check whether your chosen product can be delivered or collected when you need it. | If I need the treat for a particular shift, I want to know I can get it in time. Around 20% of consumers prioritise that reassurance. |
Albert Heijn describes AH Bakkers speculaas as vegan and lactose-free, but also lists wheat and gluten and states that the product may contain almonds. Lotus Biscoff lists wheat and soya in its plain speculoos biscuits.
Always check the current ingredients list and allergen information for the pack you’ve chosen. Don’t base your choice for colleagues with an allergy on a single dietary claim.
A shared pack is handy as long as you have somewhere to store any biscuits left over. Jumbo and Albert Heijn advise keeping their bakers’ speculaas sealed after opening.
Set out the amount you’ve planned and seal the rest according to the instructions on the pack.
A product you can view online won’t necessarily be available for delivery to your location at the time you need it.
Check the current ordering and delivery options before planning a treat for the team.

This pack is a good option for sharing speculoos biscuits if you check in advance that it contains enough for your team.
Pack size: 250 g. Check the packaging if you specifically want to hand out portions wrapped individually or in pairs; this pack doesn’t automatically come in that format.
Start with the number of colleagues and how many biscuits you want to offer each person. Jumbo and Albert Heijn list around 48 portions in their 600 g packs; ALDI lists 48 biscuits in its 600 g pack. Use these figures to plan your shared supply, not as a fixed amount per person.
Choose pre-packed portions if colleagues take breaks at different times or if you want to give everyone their own treat. Lotus Biscoff lists varieties with 20 or 10 packs of two biscuits; De Molen's Banket lists filled Speculaas Torondo's as 28 portions of 65 g. Check the variety you’re buying, as not every pack from the same brand comes in that format.
Follow the instructions on the pack and seal any opened pack properly. Jumbo and Albert Heijn advise storing their bakers’ speculaas in a cool, dry place and sealing it after opening, for example in an airtight tin.
Read the current allergen information for the product you’re actually handing out. The varieties discussed here list ingredients including wheat, soya or milk; some also mention almonds, nuts or possible traces. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens which must be declared have to be clearly listed on the label.
No. Plan speculaas as a treat, not as a meal replacement. If nutritional value matters to your choice, compare the information per 100 g and also check the portion you plan to hand out.
