Choose the pack size based on the role spritz biscuits will play on your buffet: a 300 g or 400 g pack is a good starting point for a generously filled biscuit platter, while 150 g to 200 g may be enough if spritz biscuits are one of several sweet treats. A large pack or a portion count doesn’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped. If you need them for lunchboxes, check the inner packaging, and if anyone has allergies, read the label for the exact variety.
If lots of guests will be helping themselves from the same biscuit platter, the total pack size is a good starting point. ALDI Nederland lists 300 g packs of spritz biscuits, while Lidl Nederland lists 400 g packs of butter spritz biscuits.
If there are other biscuits or desserts on the table too, a smaller pack or a second flavour could be more practical. Albert Heijn lists 200 g packs of AH Lunetta spritz biscuits; Jumbo lists 150 g packs of Verkade Nobo Sprits in plain and milk chocolate varieties.
When allergies are a concern, the exact variety matters more than the brand name or flavour alone. The allergen information differs between the two PLUS varieties reviewed, so check the packaging for details of possible traces too.
First, decide how much space spritz biscuits will take up on the platter. Then think about how you want to serve or take them with you, and check the label on each variety before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Plenty to go around | Compare the net weight and, if listed, the number of biscuits or portions. ALDI Nederland lists a 300 g pack; Lidl Nederland lists 400 g. | If spritz biscuits are taking up a large part of the platter, I want to be able to put out enough without constantly opening another pack; around 42% of consumers prioritise having enough. |
| Serving and storing | Check whether a biscuit count is given, what the inner packaging is like and how to store the biscuits after opening. Albert Heijn lists 15 portions of 13 g for AH Lunetta, but this doesn’t confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped. | With lots of other sweet treats on the buffet, I want to be able to top things up as needed and keep any leftover spritz biscuits for later; around 33% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Flavour and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens present and any possible-trace information for each variety. PLUS lists different allergens for its plain and advocaat spritz biscuits. | If I’m combining flavours or shopping for guests with allergies, I want to know what’s in each pack before I put it out; around 25% of consumers give flavour and label suitability the highest priority. |
A 300 g or 400 g pack doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. The 15 portions listed by Albert Heijn for AH Lunetta don’t confirm that there are 15 individually wrapped biscuits either.
Need individual portions for lunchboxes? Look for explicit details of the inner packaging and check the pack itself.
According to PLUS, its plain butter spritz biscuits and advocaat spritz biscuits have different allergen information. So you’ll need to check the label for each flavour.
Before serving, read the current ingredients, allergen information and possible-trace details on every pack.
Lidl lists its 400 g pack of butter spritz biscuits as an in-store product. The page for ALDI Nederland’s 300 g spritz biscuits says that promotional stock is limited.
If that particular size is important for your buffet, check availability at the shop you plan to visit in good time, and have another suitable pack in mind.
Jumbo lists Verkade Nobo Sprits in plain and milk chocolate varieties, both in 150 g packs.
Albert Heijn lists AH Lunetta spritz biscuits in a 200 g pack, with 15 portions of 13 g.
PLUS lists plain butter spritz biscuits and advocaat spritz biscuits in 175 g packs.
ALDI Nederland lists 12-piece, 175 g packs of Biscotto butter spritz biscuits, as well as 300 g packs of spritz biscuits.
Lidl lists a 400 g pack of butter spritz biscuits for in-store purchase.
This 150 g Verkade variety is worth considering as a smaller chocolate option alongside other sweet treats. If you’re looking for individually wrapped biscuits, check the inner packaging.

A smaller chocolate option to serve alongside other sweet treats on the buffet.
If you want to take the biscuits with you individually, check the inner packaging and the number of biscuits. If anyone has allergies, read the label for this exact variety before serving.
No. The total pack weight and a portion count don’t prove that the biscuits are individually wrapped. Albert Heijn lists 15 portions of 13 g for AH Lunetta; check separately whether the pack contains individual wrappers.
A 300 g or 400 g pack is a good starting point if spritz biscuits are taking up a large part of the platter; ALDI Nederland and Lidl Nederland list packs in these sizes. If there are lots of other sweet treats on the table, a smaller pack may suit your plans better. Also check whether the exact product lists a biscuit count.
Before serving, check the label on each exact variety for ingredients, allergens present and possible traces. PLUS lists wheat, egg and milk among the allergens in its plain butter spritz biscuits; the advocaat variety has different allergen information. Don’t rely on the label for another flavour.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve bought. Albert Heijn recommends keeping AH Lunetta spritz biscuits in a cool, dark, dry place and storing them in a sealed tin after opening. Don’t apply that product’s advice to another spritz variety without checking its label.
