Choose a large pack of baker's speculaas or speculoos if several people will be helping themselves from a platter. For example, ALDI lists packs of 600 g containing 48 baker's speculaas biscuits and packs of around 500 g containing around 71 speculoos biscuits. If you'd like to portion the biscuits out in advance, look for bags with two-biscuit portions; a smaller filled variety could be a good choice for sharing between two. Whichever you choose, check the contents and the label on the pack you buy.
If you don't want to keep opening small packs for guests or a film night, compare large packs by both weight and biscuit count. ALDI lists a 600 g pack of Biscotto containing 48 biscuits and a pack of Koekkie weighing around 500 g with around 71 biscuits. Follow the storage instructions on the pack for any leftovers.
For handing out or taking with you, individually wrapped bags are a different option from one open platter. Lotus Bakeries lists a Biscoff Mega Pack with 20 bags of two biscuits; Jumbo also lists an XL option with ten bags of two.
If you don't need a large supply, you could consider a filled variety. Jumbo lists a 154 g pack of Lotus Biscoff Sandwich Vanilla containing 14 biscuits. Compare the contents, nutritional information and allergens for the exact variety.
First decide whether you want to fill a platter or portion the biscuits out in advance. Then consider whether a smaller pack of filled biscuits would better suit the number of people eating.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it's important for |
|---|---|---|
| Enough for a platter | Compare the weight and stated biscuit count; large packs can contain different numbers and sizes of biscuits. | I want several people to help themselves from one platter without having to open another pack. For around 42% of consumers, having enough for a group is the priority. |
| Portions to hand out | Check whether the pack contains individual bags and how many biscuits are in each one. | If I want to give biscuits to people to take away, I want to be able to portion them out in advance. That's the main requirement for around 33% of consumers. |
| A small filled treat | Compare the contents, biscuit count and nutritional information per 100 g for the exact variety. | For the two of us, I'd rather choose a smaller filled biscuit than a pack for a group. Around 25% of consumers prefer a small treat like this. |
A pack with lots of biscuits doesn't necessarily mean they're wrapped individually. That matters if you want to give them to people to take away rather than putting them on a platter.
Check whether the pack states the number of bags and the number of biscuits in each one. For example, Jumbo lists ten bags of two for Lotus Biscoff XL 2P x 10.
ALDI lists 48 biscuits for 600 g of Biscotto Baker's Speculaas and around 71 biscuits for around 500 g of Koekkie Speculoos Biscuits. Those different counts give you a different starting point for sharing.
Compare the weight and biscuit count together, then choose the biscuit size that suits your occasion.
Information about ingredients or dietary suitability for one biscuit doesn't automatically apply to a filled variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be clearly and accurately stated on the label.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you're actually sharing. If information about an allergen relevant to someone is unclear, don't give that biscuit to them.
A standard pack of speculaas won't necessarily have seasonal designs or gift packaging.
If the packaging matters to you, check it separately before choosing. Consider the quantity and type of biscuit independently.
Lotus Biscoff offers classic speculoos, packs with two-biscuit portions and a filled sandwich variety.
Biscotto is the brand on the ALDI baker's speculaas pack featured here.
Koekkie is the brand on the ALDI speculoos biscuit pack featured here.
Sondey is a Lidl biscuit brand with a speculoos product among its range.
This 250 g pack is worth considering if you're looking for speculoos to share with a small group. If you're filling a large platter or want to portion biscuits out for each person in advance, compare the contents and pack format too.

A pack to consider if you'd like to share speculoos with a small group.
Contents: 250 g. Jumbo lists around 32 biscuits for the 250 g Lotus Biscoff pack. Check the pack format if individual portions matter, and read the latest allergen information before sharing.
For a shared platter, a large pack is a sensible starting point. If you want everyone to take some away, check whether it contains individual portions. For example, ALDI lists 48 biscuits for 600 g of Biscotto Baker's Speculaas and around 71 biscuits for around 500 g of Koekkie Speculoos Biscuits.
Don't assume this applies to every variety. Jumbo lists the classic 250 g Lotus Biscoff speculoos biscuit as suitable for vegans; check the ingredients on the exact pack for filled or other varieties.
Read the label on the pack you're going to share. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be clearly and accurately stated on food labels. Don't use information for another flavour or variety as a substitute.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack, especially once it's been opened. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre notes that the label provides storage advice; also check the use-by or best-before date on the pack.
