If you want chocolate for your Valentine’s moment
If you’re treating yourself to a spritz biscuit with a chocolate layer, a milk chocolate variety is worth considering. Verkade describes NoboSprits Melk as a biscuit with a milk chocolate coating.
Which spritz biscuit is right for you?
If you’re looking for a classic butter spritz biscuit
If you don’t want a chocolate coating, you can compare butter spritz biscuits. Albert Heijn and PLUS list varieties like these; check the ingredients and allergen information for each product.
If quantity is your main consideration
A pack containing several biscuits can also work for a single treat, as long as you’re happy to save the rest. The packs mentioned from Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS contain 150 g, 175 g or 250 g; the pack size doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a spritz biscuit is an individually wrapped bar
The products mentioned from Jumbo, Albert Heijn, PLUS and ALDI come in packs containing several biscuits. The weight on the pack doesn’t confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped.
If you want to take or give just one biscuit, check the net weight, the number of biscuits and whether there are individual wrappers.
-
Assuming the allergens in one variety apply to all spritz biscuits
Ingredients vary by product. Verkade lists soya in NoboSprits Melk; PLUS lists egg and possible traces of nuts in its spritz biscuits.
Read the allergen information on the current pack of the exact variety you’re buying.
-
Choosing a larger pack without thinking about the leftovers
If you only want one biscuit for your Valentine’s moment, you may have some left over when you buy a pack containing several biscuits.
Think about how many you want to eat, and follow the pack’s storage instructions for the rest.
