Choose a bulk pack of spritz biscuits if you’re baking for a larger group of children or want to hand out biscuits on several occasions; De Molen's Banket’s pack contains 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each. For one recipe or a small group, a 200 g pack is often easier to manage. Before buying, check how many biscuits you need and read the label on the exact pack if anyone has allergies.
If you’re organising a party or group activity, the main thing to consider is how many biscuits you can hand out. Jumbo lists a pack of 40 × 38 g for De Molen's Banket; that’s a different quantity from a standard 200 g pack.
A regular pack may be enough for crumbling or decorating. Verkade uses 200 g of Nobo Sprits Original in a crumble recipe; Albert Heijn recommends giving children safe tasks and leaving work with the oven and sharp knives to an adult.
If you’re buying for children or guests with a food allergy, check the ingredients, allergen information and warnings about possible traces on the exact pack. These details vary between spritz biscuit options.
First decide whether you’ll use the spritz biscuits in one recipe, hand them out individually or save them for several occasions. Then compare pack sizes and check the information that matters to your group.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight and the stated number of biscuits or servings with your group size and recipe. | For a children’s party, I want to be able to hand out enough biscuits without having lots left over. Around 37% of consumers prioritise having the right quantity for the group. |
| Getting children involved | Choose tasks such as crumbling or decorating; an adult should handle the oven and sharp knives, as Albert Heijn advises. | If children are helping, I want them to decorate without having to use a hot oven. Around 27% of consumers prioritise making it easy and safe for children to take part. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product, including warnings about possible traces. | If I’m buying for a child with an allergy, I need to know what’s on the pack before we start baking together. Around 18% of consumers give checking allergens top priority. |
| Portions | Check the serving size and nutritional information on the pack, and decide in advance how many biscuits you’ll serve. | For a single baking session, I want to decide in advance how many biscuits we’ll hand out afterwards. For around 18% of consumers, portions are the main consideration. |
Albert Heijn and Verkade list 200 g packs of spritz biscuits, while Jumbo lists 40 × 38 g for De Molen's Banket. One small pack may not be enough for a large group, while a bulk pack may be more than you need for a single recipe.
Count the people taking part and decide whether you’ll crumble the biscuits, hand them out or save them for another occasion. Then compare the pack size and number of biscuits or servings.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists different allergens and possible traces for each product. A familiar brand name or flavour doesn’t tell you enough about the pack you’re buying.
Check the label on the exact product every time you buy it, even if you’ve used spritz biscuits from the same brand before.
A simple biscuit-making activity doesn’t remove the risks posed by hot oven parts and sharp kitchen utensils.
Children can stir, crumble or decorate, for example, while an adult handles the oven and knives, as Albert Heijn advises.
Jumbo says its 200 g plain spritz biscuits are no longer part of its online range. So the fact that a product page still exists doesn’t mean you can still order that option.
Check availability just before buying, and read the ingredients and allergen information again if you choose a replacement.
Verkade Nobo Sprits Original is a 200 g plain option. Verkade uses 200 g in its crumble recipe.
AH Spritsen comes in a 200 g pack, with ten stated servings of 20 g each.
Jumbo Lunetta Spritsen met Cacao en Glazuur is a 200 g option with fifteen stated servings.
Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as a bulk pack of 40 × 38 g.
If you’d like a chocolate flavour for a supervised baking session, the 150 g pack below is an option. For a group activity, also consider how many biscuits you actually want to hand out.

An option if you’re looking for chocolate-flavoured spritz biscuits for a supervised baking session. The pack contains 150 g; before handing them out, check that the quantity is right for your group. If anyone has allergies, read the label on the exact pack.
Not for every baking session. Jumbo lists a De Molen's Banket pack of 40 × 38 g for anyone who wants to hand out lots of biscuits, while the AH Spritsen and Verkade Nobo Sprits Original packs mentioned each contain 200 g. Choose the quantity to suit your recipe, group size and any future baking sessions.
Children can help with tasks such as crumbling, stirring or decorating. Albert Heijn advises keeping sharp knives and the hot oven out of their reach; an adult should handle those tasks.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, including any warnings about traces. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information mentioned lists wheat and milk, among other ingredients, in various products, with different warnings for egg, soya, sesame or nuts.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. Albert Heijn recommends storing AH Spritsen in a cool, dark and dry place and closing the pack securely; Jumbo Lunetta should be kept somewhere dry after opening.
Treat spritz biscuits as a treat for this activity rather than an obvious everyday choice. For children’s everyday snacks, the Voedingscentrum mainly recommends foods from the Schijf van Vijf; check the serving sizes and nutritional information for the spritz biscuits you buy when deciding how many to serve.
