If you’re having Friday afternoon drinks on your own and want one individually wrapped sprits biscuit, a biscuit wrapped on its own fits the bill. However, the sprits biscuits from De Molen's Banket listed by DiscountOffice have a minimum order quantity of 40. If you can store the rest of an opened pack, a smaller pack is another option. Then choose your preferred flavour and check the ingredients and allergens for that particular variety.
If you want to take a sprits biscuit with you without opening a pack, check that each biscuit is individually wrapped and look at the minimum order quantity. DiscountOffice lists an individually wrapped 38 g sprits biscuit from De Molen's Banket, but requires a minimum order of 40.
Verkade Nobo Sprits Original is an option if you don’t want a milk chocolate coating. Verkade lists wheat and milk as ingredients; Jumbo also says that the product may contain nuts and sesame.
Verkade describes its Nobo Sprits Milk as having a milk chocolate coating. Check the allergens for this variety too: it lists soya as well as wheat and milk.
Before your solo Friday afternoon drinks, first decide whether each biscuit needs to be individually wrapped. If you don’t mind opening a pack, the pack size, flavour and ingredients are the next things to consider.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped | Check whether each biscuit is wrapped separately and the minimum number you need to order. | I want to take one sprits biscuit with me without opening a pack. Around 33% of consumers prioritise an individually wrapped portion. |
| Small multipack | Compare the net weight, the number of biscuits or portions, and the storage instructions after opening. | I can store the rest of the biscuits, but don’t want to open an unnecessarily large pack. Around 27% of consumers prioritise a small multipack. |
| Flavour | Check whether it’s plain, made with butter, or coated in milk chocolate. | If I’m happy with a multipack, the flavour I want is the main factor in my choice. Around 20% of consumers prioritise the flavour. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the specific pack for both the allergens it contains and any ‘may contain’ statements. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the information on the label comes before flavour or pack size. That’s the first consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
A multipack can contain several small sprits biscuits without each one being individually wrapped. You’ll still have an opened pack left after enjoying one.
Check whether the product is described as ‘individually wrapped’ and see how many you need to order.

Read the label on the pack you’re buying and distinguish between ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’. Don’t rely on the flavour name alone.

This milk chocolate sprits biscuit is a good fit if you want to open a pack containing several biscuits for one drinks occasion. The pack contains 150 g; check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped if that’s important to you.
This product lists milk, soya and wheat. If you have allergies, check the current label, including any statements about nuts and sesame.
No. A pack containing several sprits biscuits doesn’t mean that each biscuit is wrapped separately. The products listed by Verkade, AH, ALDI and PLUS come in packs; DiscountOffice does list an individually wrapped sprits biscuit from De Molen's Banket, but the minimum order is 40.
Reseal the pack securely after opening and store the biscuits in a cool, dry place. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel, Jumbo says to keep the opened pack sealed. Check the storage instructions on your own pack too.
Read the allergen information for the specific variety you’re buying. The products mentioned include ingredients such as wheat, milk, egg and soya, while some packs also warn that other allergens may be present. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly identified in the ingredients list; check the pack for any ‘may contain’ information too.
Use the product page to compare varieties, but read the packaging before eating the product. AH and PLUS note that product information, including ingredients and allergen information, can change.
