If you’re planning two occasions
Want to open one pack during the parade and keep the other sealed for later or for a lunchbox? The Verkade Nobo 2-packs at Albert Heijn each contain two separate 150 g packs.
Which pack is right for you?
If you’re buying for a group
Want to bring enough biscuits without having lots left over? Compare the pack size with the number of occasions you’ll be handing out sprits. ALDI lists Biscotto packs of 175 g and 300–400 g, while PLUS lists a single 175 g pack.
If you’re buying for guests with allergies
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack before handing out biscuits. The sprits variants covered here have different declarations for wheat, milk, egg and soya, and may also contain nuts or sesame.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you need separately sealed packs or simply biscuits for everyone to share. Then compare the pack size, flavour and label of the pack you plan to take.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping packs separate | Check whether it contains two separate packs; a 2-pack doesn’t mean the individual biscuits are wrapped. | I want to open one pack during the parade and keep the other sealed for later. For around 34% of consumers, keeping the packs separate is the top priority. |
| How much you need for the group | Compare the net weight and number of packs. For Biscotto, check which size within the stated 300–400 g range applies to your variant. | If I’m handing biscuits out to a group, I want to bring enough without being left with a large opened pack. Around 22% of consumers say having enough for the group is their top priority. |
| Plain or milk chocolate | Check the exact flavour and ingredients; Verkade states that Nobo Milk Sprits contains 15% milk chocolate. | I’m choosing a particular flavour and want to know which variant I’m actually taking. For around 22% of consumers, flavour is the deciding factor. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the physical pack before handing out the biscuits. | If someone in the group has an allergy, I want to check the label on that exact sprits pack before handing them out. For around 22% of consumers, this is their top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a 2-pack means individually wrapped biscuits
Albert Heijn describes the 2-packs in question as two separate products. This means you can hand out one pack at a time, but it doesn’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped.
Check the packaging if you need individually wrapped biscuits. Otherwise, bring a lunchbox or bag that seals well for biscuits from an opened pack.
-
Going by the flavour name alone when allergies are a concern
Ingredients vary between sprits variants. For example, Verkade lists soya in its milk chocolate variant, while PLUS lists egg in its sprits biscuits.
Read the allergen information on the exact, current pack before giving biscuits to anyone with an allergy.
-
Opening a large pack without a plan for the leftovers
With one large pack, any biscuits you don’t hand out will be left in the same opened pack.
Choose a pack size that suits the occasions you have in mind. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.
-
Assuming a product listing means you can order it online
Albert Heijn states that its Butter Sprits 2-pack is only available in store.
Before you set off, check where you can buy your chosen pack and which variant is available.
Brands and retailers to consider
Verkade
The Nobo Sprits variants are worth considering if you want to split two separate 150 g packs between people or occasions; Albert Heijn lists 2-packs in plain and milk chocolate flavours.
- Verkade publishes ingredient information for Original and Milk, and states that the milk variant contains 15% milk chocolate.
- A 2-pack doesn’t confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped; check the allergen information on the current pack too.
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo Sprits and AH Butter Sprits 2-packs as bundles of separate products.
- The Verkade variants are listed as bundles containing two 150 g packs.
- Albert Heijn states that the AH Butter Sprits 2-pack is only available in store.
Biscotto
Biscotto is an ALDI option if you want to compare a smaller pack with a larger one for everyone to share.
- ALDI lists 12 butter sprits biscuits weighing 175 g, as well as a 300–400 g option in plain or chocolate flavours.
- For the larger size, check the contents and pack format of the flavour variant you choose.
PLUS
PLUS Spritsen is a single 175 g pack for anyone who doesn’t need two sealed packs.
- PLUS states that the product contains 30% butter and provides ingredient and allergen information.
- The 175 g pack listed is not a 2-pack.

Frequently asked questions
Are the biscuits in a sprits 2-pack individually wrapped?
That isn’t the case with the Albert Heijn 2-packs covered here: they contain two separate consumer packs. Check the packaging if you need individually wrapped biscuits. For biscuits from an opened pack, bring a lunchbox or bag that seals well.
Which allergens should I check before handing out sprits?
Always check the allergen information on the physical label of the exact variant. The products described list wheat and milk; PLUS also lists egg, while Verkade lists soya in Nobo Milk Sprits. Some variants also state that they may contain nuts, sesame or other cereals containing gluten. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that the 14 legally designated allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.
How should I store sprits after the parade?
Store an opened pack in a cool, dry, dark place and seal it well, as the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises for biscuits. For an unopened pack, follow the storage instructions and use-by or best-before date on the packaging.
