If you want one small bar with your coffee, check the weight per bar first, rather than looking at the flavour alone. Albert Heijn lists two 20 g bars of Holie's Crunchy Bar Almond Speculoos per pack. A 180 g Lotus Biscoff chocolate bar is better suited to anyone who fancies chocolate and speculoos cream and is happy to share it or enjoy it over several coffee breaks. Neither is sold as a single bar, so check the pack size before you choose.
You want a single bar with your coffee without opening a large chocolate bar. A stated weight per bar makes it easier to judge the portion; the Holie's Crunchy Bar pack listed by Albert Heijn contains two 20 g bars.
You’re mainly after milk chocolate and speculoos cream, and don’t mind sharing a larger bar or saving some for another coffee break. The Lotus Biscoff chocolate bar listed by Jumbo weighs 180 g.
You check the nutritional information and ingredients before making your choice. Compare figures on the same basis and read the allergen information on the pack you buy, especially if you need to avoid certain ingredients.
First decide whether you want a clearly defined single-bar portion or are more interested in the type of treat. Then compare the nutritional information and ingredients of the options that suit your coffee break.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who this matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the number of bars and the weight per bar. Albert Heijn lists 2 × 20 g for Holie's Crunchy Bar; the Lotus Biscoff chocolate bar at Jumbo weighs 180 g. | If I want something to have with one cup of coffee, I’d rather choose a bar with a clearly stated portion. For around 50% of consumers, a set portion is the main priority. |

Also check the current ingredients and allergen information. | When ingredients or nutritional values influence my choice, I want to know exactly what’s in that particular version.
