Expecting lots of guests and want spritz biscuits that are easy to hand out? A multipack of individual portions could be a good fit. For a smaller gathering or more choice of flavours, you could combine several smaller packs. Match the total quantity to what you plan to serve, and check the label on every pack if any guests have allergies.
You want to put out enough spritz biscuits without having to open another pack every time. A multipack of individual portions, such as the 40 × 38 g pack listed by Jumbo, is one option to compare with individual bags.
For example, you might want to combine plain biscuits with milk or dark chocolate varieties. Verkade and Jumbo list different spritz biscuit varieties; check which one you’re buying on each pack.
If a guest has a food allergy or relevant intolerance, check the information on the pack you’ve bought before serving. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority points out that allergen information for prepacked foods must be shown on the label.
First decide how much you want to serve. Then consider whether variety and keeping leftovers matter to you. If any guests have allergies, you’ll still need to check every individual pack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and serving | Compare the total quantity and number of individual portions with your guest list. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 × 38 g, making 1.52 kg in total. | If I’m expecting lots of guests, I want enough spritz biscuits to hand out without opening a new bag each time. Around 33% of consumers would prioritise quantity and ease of serving. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the pack you’ve bought. | If a guest has an allergy, I want to know exactly what I’m putting on the table. For around 27% of consumers, this check would be their top priority. |
| Flavour choice | Compare the exact varieties, such as plain, milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and check each label separately. | If guests have different preferences, I want to offer more than one flavour. Around 20% of consumers would prioritise having a choice of flavours. |
| Storing after opening | Read the storage advice on each pack and consider whether you can reseal any opened bags securely. | If there are biscuits left over, I want to be able to store them as directed. Around 20% of consumers would consider keeping leftovers their main concern. |
Spritz biscuit packs can vary considerably in their total quantity and number of portions. For example, Jumbo lists a multipack of 40 × 38 g, as well as 200 g bags.
Before choosing a larger pack, compare its quantity and number of portions with what you want to serve at the party.
Albert Heijn warns that product information, including ingredients and allergen details, can change. This is particularly important if a guest has an allergy.
Just before serving, read the label on the pack itself, including any warnings and the best-before date.
A single variety gives you less choice than a selection of smaller packs. Plain, milk chocolate and dark chocolate are separate varieties.
For a smaller gathering, consider combining two flavours if the total quantity works better for your plans.
Product information from Jumbo, among others, recommends storing spritz biscuits in a dry place. Open packs may be less well protected during and after the party.
Open only as many packs as you need, seal any leftovers and follow the storage advice on the label.
Verkade lists Nobo Sprits Original and a milk chocolate variety.
Jumbo lists, among other products, 200 g packs of Lunetta Spritsen with cocoa and icing, and spritz biscuits with dark chocolate.
Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen and Verkade Nobo Sprits varieties in its product information.
ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a pack of 12, weighing 175 g.
Sondey is a Lidl brand of biscuits and snacks.
This 150 g pack is an option for a smaller gathering or if you’d like a milk chocolate flavour alongside other spritz biscuits. Compare the quantity with your guest list; this isn’t a large multipack of individual portions.
