If you want one biscuit with a drink, a pack of Sprits isn’t automatically a convenient single portion. The varieties mentioned are sold in 150 g or 175 g packs; check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped before counting on a single portion. Then choose between the classic and milk chocolate varieties based on flavour and ingredients, and think about what you’ll do with the rest of the pack.
Which option is right for you?
If you want to take one portion with you
If you want to enjoy one biscuit with a drink without taking the rest of a pack with you, check whether each biscuit is individually wrapped. The stated pack weight doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.
If you want classic Sprits
If a classic, crisp biscuit matters more to you than individual wrapping, consider Nobo Sprits Original by Verkade. Verkade describes this variety as crisp; bear in mind that a pack contains several biscuits.
If you want Sprits with milk chocolate
If you’d like chocolate with your drink, consider Verkade’s milk chocolate variety. Check the current ingredients and allergen information for this specific variety, especially if you need to avoid wheat, milk or soya.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to take one biscuit with you without opening a pack. Then you can weigh up the flavour and the pack size.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a pack is a single wrapped portion
A 150 g or 175 g pack isn’t the same as one individually wrapped biscuit. For example, ALDI lists 12 Biscotto Roomboterspritsen in a 175 g pack.
Before buying, check whether individual portions are mentioned if you only want to take one biscuit with you.
If you do take an opened pack with you, you’ll also need space for the remaining biscuits.
-
Assuming all varieties have the same ingredients
Sprits with milk chocolate has different ingredients from a classic variety. Verkade Nobo Sprits Melk, for example, lists wheat, milk and soya lecithin.
Read the label for the exact variety, especially if you need to avoid certain ingredients or allergens.
-
Choosing based on flavour alone
A flavour that goes well with your drink doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you’ll want to take with you or eat.
Also check the portion size and nutritional information for the variety you choose.
Brands and varieties to consider

Verkade offers Nobo Sprits Original and Nobo Sprits Melk, giving you the choice between a classic variety and milk chocolate.
- According to Verkade, Original is crisp, while Melk has a milk chocolate coating.
- Check each pack to see whether you can take the biscuits individually.
PLUS
PLUS lists Spritsen in a 175 g pack, an option if you want to take several biscuits from one pack.
- The pack weight is stated, so you can factor the contents into your decision.

Biscotto
ALDI lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen as 12 biscuits in a 175 g pack.
- The stated number of biscuits helps you decide in advance how many to take with you.

Frequently asked questions
Is a pack of Sprits the same as one individually wrapped biscuit?
No. The pack weight or number of biscuits doesn’t confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped. For example, ALDI lists 12 Biscotto Roomboterspritsen in 175 g; check the packaging or product photo if having an individual wrapper is essential for you.
Which ingredients should I check in Sprits with milk chocolate?
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact chocolate variety. Verkade Nobo Sprits Melk lists wheat, milk and soya lecithin; read the current label before eating the biscuit.
Can I rely on the online product information when choosing?
Use the product information to compare varieties, but also read the packaging on the product you actually buy. Albert Heijn advises checking the label, as product information can change.
