Choose mini sprits if you want to put out small biscuits for a pepernoten baking session. Jumbo lists its Sprits Staafjes Mini in a 125 g pack, but the pack size doesn’t determine how many biscuits you serve. Regular sprits is a good choice if size isn’t important. If you want to choose the size of each biscuit yourself, you can pipe and bake your own sprits dough.
