Choose your pack based on when you want to share your speculoos biscuits: small, individually portioned packs are handy for handing out straight away on the go, while a 250 g pack, multipack or larger pack is better suited to regular coffee breaks in one place. Filled speculaas may be just the thing for a planned seasonal occasion, but check availability first. When sharing, always check the label on the exact product for ingredients and allergens.
Would you like to offer one or two biscuits with your coffee on the go, without carrying an opened pack? Look for small, individually portioned packs and check how many biscuits each one contains. Lotus Bakeries lists options including Pocket Pack 8x2 and XL 10x2.
For several coffee breaks at the office, the number of portions and how to store the biscuits after opening are important. Jumbo lists around 48 portions in its 600 g bakery-style speculaas pack; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing speculaas in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.
The exact product matters when sharing with someone who has specific dietary requirements or allergies. For example, Jumbo has 125 g of gluten-free speculaas, but gluten-free does not mean free from all other allergens. So check the latest label before sharing.
First decide whether you’ll be handing out speculoos biscuits on the go, keeping them in one place or taking them along for an occasion. Then check how the portions are arranged and read the label on the product you’ve chosen.
