Choose a sharing pack if you’re putting the biscuits straight on the table. Choose two-biscuit portions if you want to hand out sealed packets without opening a whole pack. If every guest needs exactly one individually wrapped biscuit, a two-pack won’t do. Lotus offers a professional box of 300 individually wrapped biscuits for this purpose, but you’ll need a games night big enough to make use of that quantity.
Want to have a sealed packet ready for each player or round of the game? The Lotus Biscoff XL pack described by Jumbo contains ten packets, each with two biscuits. It works well if two biscuits per serving is right for you, but not if every guest needs one individually wrapped biscuit.
If everyone can help themselves from a shared plate, a sharing pack lets you choose how many biscuits to put out. Albert Heijn lists a 250 g pack of Lotus Biscoff Speculoos containing around 32 biscuits.
Do you have guests for whom ingredients are a key consideration? Check the label of the exact product you’ve chosen before serving. Wheat and soya are allergens to look out for in the Lotus Original and XL options mentioned here; individually wrapped portions don’t change the ingredients.
First decide whether you want to put a plate on the table, hand out packets or give each person exactly one sealed biscuit. Then check that the quantity and ingredients are right for your group.
Best when: everyone can help themselves to biscuits from a shared plate.
The trade-off: once opened, the biscuits aren’t sealed in individual portions; store any leftovers according to the instructions on the pack.
Best when: a sealed two-biscuit portion works for each player, pair or round of the game.
The trade-off: according to Jumbo, Lotus Biscoff XL 10x2 contains two biscuits per packet, not one.
Best when: every biscuit needs to stay individually sealed and you need a large number of portions.
The trade-off: the individually wrapped option described by Lotus Bakeries is a professional box of 300 biscuits.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check how many packets are in the pack and how many biscuits each packet contains. | I want to hand out sealed portions without taking biscuits from an opened pack. Around 40% of consumers prioritise portion sizes. |
| Quantity | Compare the number of biscuits with the size of your group, and consider whether you’ll use the leftovers at another games night. | For a small, one-off games night, I don’t want to be left with a large box. The right quantity matters most to around 30% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the label of the exact product; look out for wheat and soya in the varieties mentioned, and milk in the chocolate variety too. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know exactly what I’m putting on the table. Checking ingredients comes first for around 20% of consumers. |
| Flavour | If you choose a different flavour, check the pack size and allergens too; Jumbo describes the chocolate variety as six portions of three biscuits. | I want to be able to choose chocolate, provided three biscuits per packet work for serving. Around 10% of consumers prioritise flavour. |
The Lotus Biscoff XL pack described by Jumbo contains two biscuits per packet. If you want to give each guest one sealed biscuit, you’ll need to open the packet or give them both biscuits.
Before choosing portion packs, check the number of packets and the number of biscuits in each one separately.
The box of individually wrapped biscuits described by Lotus Bakeries contains 300 biscuits. Individual wrapping solves a portioning problem, but it doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you need.
Count how many portions you’ll need, and choose a bulk pack like this only if you can use the quantity.
For a small, one-off get-together, you’ll also need somewhere to store the leftover biscuits from a box of 300.
The Lotus Original varieties mentioned contain wheat and soya; milk is also an allergen to look out for in the chocolate variety described by Jumbo. So a different flavour may need a different ingredients check.
Read the current label for the exact flavour and pack just before serving, rather than relying on the details from another pack.

Read the current label for the exact product. Wheat and soya are allergens to look out for in the Lotus Original and XL varieties mentioned; also check for milk in the chocolate variety described by Jumbo. Don’t rely on the ingredients listed for a different flavour or pack.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. For its professional individually wrapped biscuits, Lotus Bakeries recommends storing them in a dry place away from heat sources; reseal an opened sharing pack securely after use.
