Which pack size suits you?

For coffee breaks on different occasions

You don’t want to open all the biscuits at once. A multipack with individually wrapped portions lets you open just what you need for each coffee break. Check how many biscuits are in each individual pack.

For lunchboxes and snacks on the go

You’re looking for a portion you can take with you. Jumbo lists ten bags of two biscuits each for the Lotus Biscoff XL variant. Check that the biscuit size also suits the portion you need.

For home bakers and dessert makers

You’re using speculoos as an ingredient. First decide whether your recipe calls for regular or filled speculoos, then compare the amount you need with the pack size.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to serve the biscuits or use speculoos in a recipe. Then choose the pack size and quantity that suit your needs.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Portions on the go Check the number of individual packs and the number of biscuits in each bag. Also consider the size of the biscuits. If I’m putting biscuits in a lunchbox, I want to take one portion without opening the rest. For around 29% of consumers, portioning is the most important factor.
Coffee breaks over several days Compare the number of biscuits and individual packs with the number of occasions you want to serve them. When I have visitors on different days, I want enough regular speculoos at home without buying enough for a crowd. Around 36% of consumers prioritise sharing biscuits over coffee.
Cake and dessert Check whether the speculoos is filled and compare the pack size with the amount your recipe calls for. For a cake or trifle, I want the type of speculoos to suit my recipe, especially if the filling will be part of the dessert. This is the main consideration for around 21% of consumers.
Stocking up for a group Check the number of biscuits, the best-before date on the pack and how many you expect to serve. When I’m serving coffee to a large group, I want enough biscuits for the number of guests. This is the main priority for around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Looking only at the total weight

    According to Albert Heijn, the Lotus Biscoff Mega Pack contains three 125 g packs. Jumbo, by contrast, lists ten bags of two biscuits each for the Lotus Biscoff XL variant. That difference affects how you can divide the pack between coffee breaks or lunchboxes.

    Before choosing a pack size, compare the number of individual packs, biscuits per bag and biscuit size.

  • Treating filled speculoos like regular biscuits for coffee

    ALDI’s 2-pack of filled speculoos contains almonds and almond pastry filling. That filling may be important for a recipe, but this product isn’t the same as individual regular speculoos biscuits to serve with coffee.

    Choose the 2-pack if you specifically want to use filled speculoos in a recipe. If you’re serving biscuits on their own, choose a pack of regular biscuits that suits your portions.

  • Assuming a seasonal product will be in stock

    ALDI includes its 2-pack of filled speculoos in its St Nicholas range and warns that promotional products can sell out quickly. This could affect your choice of ingredients for a planned dessert.

    Check current availability before basing your recipe on this particular pack.

  • Relying only on online allergen information

    Wheat and soya are listed for the Lotus Biscoff packs reviewed. Ingredient information can change, so the label on the pack you buy is the one to rely on when deciding what to serve.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack, especially if you’re sharing the biscuits with others.

Brands to consider

Lotus Biscoff

The Lotus Biscoff products reviewed at supermarkets include regular speculoos in a range of pack sizes, from individually wrapped portions to a large box.

  • Albert Heijn lists a Mega Pack of 3 × 125 g; Jumbo lists an XL pack with ten bags of two biscuits.
  • Wheat and soya are listed for the variants reviewed. Check the label on the variant you buy.

AH

As well as Lotus, Albert Heijn offers its own AH speculoos, including mini speculoos biscuits, baker’s speculoos and filled varieties.

  • The range includes different types of speculoos to serve or use in recipes.
  • Check the contents and any individual packaging for each AH product you choose. A large pack isn’t necessarily a multipack.

ALDI

ALDI lists a 2-pack of filled speculoos at 2 × 250 g, with almonds and almond pastry filling.

  • The two packs are a handy option when your recipe calls for filled speculoos.
  • This product is part of the St Nicholas range. Check current availability if you need it for a recipe.

Sondey

Lidl presents Sondey as a brand of biscuits and cookies. Lidl also lists 600 g packs of baker’s speculoos as a store product.

  • If you’re browsing biscuits at Lidl, you may come across the Sondey brand.
  • Check the brand name and packaging of the specific baker’s speculoos product. Don’t assume that a 600 g bag contains individual portions.

Frequently asked questions

Which speculoos multipack is suitable for a lunchbox?

A pack with individually wrapped portions is handy if you don’t want to open a large pack every time. The Lotus Biscoff XL variant listed by Jumbo contains ten bags of two biscuits each. Check that the portion and biscuit size suit your needs.

Can I use filled speculoos in a cake or dessert?

Yes, as long as the filling suits your recipe. A Lidl trifle recipe uses 300 g of filled speculoos. For your own cake or dessert, compare the type and quantity specified in your recipe with the pack you choose.

Should I check allergens if I’ve already read the product information online?

Yes, check the label on the pack you’re actually serving. Wheat and soya are listed for the Lotus Biscoff variants reviewed. Check the ingredients and allergens again when buying for someone else.

Is a 2-pack of filled speculoos available all year round?

Don’t count on a specific seasonal product being available all year. ALDI includes its 2-pack of filled speculoos in its St Nicholas range. Check current stock before planning a gathering or recipe around it.
