Choose your pack based on what you need the biscuits to do in your baking plans. For lots of crumbs or biscuits to share, a 500–600 g pack is a sensible choice. If the recipe specifically calls for Lotus Biscoff as a topping or decoration, the product itself matters more than the pack size. Also check the quantity you need, the biscuit shape and the current label.
If you’re making a large base, several desserts or biscuits for a group, first work out how many grams the recipe calls for. ALDI lists 500 g packs of Koekkie speculoos biscuits and 600 g packs of Biscotto baking speculaas.
If your recipe calls for whole or crushed Biscoff biscuits as a finishing touch, the specific product matters. Lotus Biscoff’s loaded cookie recipe calls for a 250 g pack.
If you’re baking for people who need to avoid certain ingredients or allergens, read the label on the exact pack you’ll be using. The ingredients and allergens listed can vary between speculoos products.
First decide whether you need biscuits for a base, as a topping or to share. Then compare the quantities. If your recipe includes several ingredients, check what else you’ll need too.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight with the amount in your recipe; also check the number of biscuits if it’s listed. | If I’m making a large base or several portions, I want to have enough biscuits without needing to buy another pack halfway through. This is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Recipe and presentation | Check whether the recipe calls for crumbs, whole biscuits or Biscoff spread as well. | If Biscoff biscuits will be visible on my bake, I want to use the biscuits named in the recipe. Around 30% of consumers prioritise choosing biscuits to suit the recipe. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging before use. | When I’m baking for others, I need to be able to check which ingredients the biscuits contain. For around 30% of consumers, this is the first priority. |
A large pack gives you more biscuits, but it doesn’t tell you what role they play in the recipe. In a Lotus Biscoff recipe, whole and crushed biscuits are used as a topping, alongside separate ingredients for the dough.
Read the recipe before you buy: do you need biscuits for a base, as a topping or to share on their own?
A 250 g pack may be enough for a small finishing touch, while a recipe for several portions could need more biscuits. The number of biscuits can also vary between products.
Compare the net weight and, where listed, the number of biscuits with what you actually need.
If one pack isn’t enough for the recipe or group, you’ll need extra packs.
Listed allergens vary by product. Lotus Biscoff lists wheat flour and soya flour; Jumbo Speculoos Biscuits 250 g lists gluten and wheat, and warns that it may contain almonds and nuts.
Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you’re using, especially when baking for others.
An earlier product description may not match the pack you eventually buy. Albert Heijn notes that ingredient and allergen information can change.
