For sharing over coffee or with guests
You’re serving speculaas to several people at once and don’t need individual portions. Albert Heijn and ALDI list 600 g packs of baker’s speculaas.
Who are these pack sizes suitable for?
For handing out individual portions
You’re sharing biscuits away from home or at different times, and don’t want to keep opening a large pack. Jumbo lists Lotus Biscoff XL in packs of ten, each containing two biscuits.
For checking ingredients and allergens
You’re choosing for someone who needs to avoid specific ingredients. Check the label on the pack you’re buying: the allergens and warnings listed vary by product.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you’ll serve the biscuits all at once or hand them out individually. Then check the label on the specific pack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity for one occasion | Check the net weight and think about how many people will be sharing the pack at once. | If everyone’s sharing during one visit, I want to put out enough biscuits without opening individual packets. Around 50% of consumers prioritise having enough for everyone to share on that occasion. |
| Individual portions | Count the packets and biscuits in each one; Lotus Biscoff XL contains ten packets, each with two biscuits. | For sharing on the go or at different times, I want to be able to give each person a sealed portion. Around 30% of consumers prioritise portion convenience. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, allergens and any warnings on the current pack. | If someone needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in these speculaas before serving them. For around 20% of consumers, checking the label comes first. |
Common mistakes
-
Choosing individual portions when everyone is sharing at once
Individual packets are handy for taking away or handing out over time, but they offer little benefit if all the biscuits are going straight onto one plate.
Before you buy, decide whether you want to hand them out individually or open one pack for everyone to share.
-
Assuming vegan means allergen-free
Lotus Biscoff is described as vegan, while the product information also lists wheat and soya. These things aren’t mutually exclusive.
Check the current label for each person’s allergens rather than relying on a dietary claim alone.
-
Assuming a new pack has the same contents as one you bought before
In August 2026, the Consumentenbond highlighted products whose contents had been reduced. So, if you’re buying a product again, don’t assume the pack is unchanged—check it again.
Check the net weight, ingredients and allergens on the pack you’re taking home.

Frequently asked questions
When are individually wrapped speculaas biscuits useful?
Individual portions are useful if you want to give biscuits to people to take away or hand them out at different times. According to Jumbo, Lotus Biscoff XL contains ten packets, each with two biscuits; you may not need this format if everyone is sharing from one plate at the same time.
Do I need to check allergens on packaged speculaas?
Yes. If anyone needs to avoid allergens, check the label on the specific pack. Under European food labelling rules, allergens in prepacked foods must be clearly emphasised in the ingredients list; a dietary claim such as ‘vegan’ doesn’t replace this check.
How should I store a large pack after opening?
Follow the storage advice on the pack and seal it tightly after opening. Albert Heijn recommends storing its baker’s speculaas in an airtight tin; Jumbo says to store the baker’s speculaas described in a cool, dry place.
