Choose a large pack of bakers’ speculaas if several people will be eating it and you can store the rest in an airtight container. A multipack is more practical if you want to spread your supply across several breakfasts; a standard pack may be enough if you only need a smaller amount. Always compare the pack size, storage advice and current label for the version you choose.
If several people help themselves to speculaas at breakfast and you’d like to keep some for later, packs of 450 to 600 g are worth comparing. Albert Heijn lists 48 portions for its 600 g pack of AH Bakkers speculaas; ALDI Netherlands states that its 600 g pack of Biscotto Bakkersspeculaas contains 48 biscuits.
If you don’t want to open all the biscuits at once, look for individual inner packs. The Lotus Biscoff Speculoos mega pack described by Albert Heijn contains three 125 g packs.
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional values will determine your choice, compare the exact versions. Check the pack you receive for details such as allergen information and nutritional information per 100 g and per serving.
Best for: If several people are helping themselves from the biscuit tin, the packs described, ranging from 450 to 600 g, offer plenty to go round.
Consider: Once opened, the pack needs to be stored according to the label. Albert Heijn recommends keeping AH Bakkers speculaas in a sealed tin.
Best for: If you want to spread your supply across several breakfasts, you can open one of the three 125 g packs in the Lotus Biscoff mega pack.
Consider: At 375 g in total, this pack contains less than the 450 g and 600 g packs described.
Best for: If you don’t want much left over, a 250 g pack of Lotus Biscoff Speculoos may be a better fit.
Consider: If several people are eating, check whether one pack will be enough.
