Choose a plain spritz biscuit if you want one biscuit without a chocolate coating with your coffee; go for a chocolate version if that flavour is your priority, or a butter spritz biscuit if you specifically want butter. Compare the stated serving size and allergens too. One biscuit from a pack is not the same as an individually wrapped biscuit.
If you want to keep track of how much you have with each coffee, compare the stated serving sizes. Albert Heijn gives an approximate serving size of 16.8 g for Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel; Jumbo lists 13.3 g for Jumbo Spritsen met Pure Chocolade.
Milk and dark chocolate versions differ not only in flavour but also in their ingredients. Albert Heijn’s product information lists milk, soya and wheat for Verkade Nobo Sprits Melkchocolade. For its dark chocolate version, Jumbo lists egg, milk, soya and wheat, among other ingredients.
If butter is what matters most to you, check the size of each biscuit too. Albert Heijn lists 29% butter and a serving size of 20 g for AH Spritsen.
Decide whether the size of each biscuit, chocolate or butter matters most to you. Then check the nutritional information and allergens for the version you want to buy.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Size of each biscuit | Compare the stated serving size and nutritional information per serving, not just the pack weight. | I want one biscuit with my coffee and would like to know in advance how much is in a serving. Around 45% of consumers say a manageable serving size is their top priority. |
| Chocolate flavour | Check whether it’s milk or dark chocolate, and read the ingredients and allergen list. | The chocolate coating is what makes a difference to my coffee break, even if I then need to check a different ingredients list. An estimated 33% of consumers prioritise chocolate flavour. |
| Butter | Check whether butter is listed and compare the serving size for the spritz biscuit in question. | I’m mainly looking for a butter spritz biscuit and the size of each biscuit matters less to me. Around 22% of consumers say this is their top priority. |
A pack containing several servings doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit has its own wrapper. That matters if you want to take one biscuit with you.
Check the packaging and look for any inner wrappers before assuming the biscuits are individually wrapped.
The milk chocolate spritz biscuits and dark chocolate spritz biscuit we looked at list several allergens; dark chocolate doesn’t mean the biscuit is free from milk or egg.
If you have an allergy, always check the latest ingredients list and allergen information on the pack.
The weight of the whole pack doesn’t tell you how much a stated serving weighs. For the versions discussed, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list serving sizes ranging from around 13.3 g to 20 g.
If you’re choosing one biscuit to have with your coffee, compare the serving size and nutritional information per serving.
According to the Voedingscentrum, biscuits can go soft or stale as their quality deteriorates.
Seal the pack well after use, store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging.

For anyone looking for one milk chocolate spritz biscuit to have with their coffee. The pack contains 150 g; check the inner packaging if each biscuit needs to be individually wrapped.
The product description lists milk, soya, wheat, nuts and sesame seeds in the allergen information. If you have an allergy, check the latest label.
You can’t tell from the number of servings. Albert Heijn lists nine servings for the Verkade Nobo packs discussed here and ten for AH Spritsen; check the inner packaging if you need an individually wrapped biscuit.
Check the allergen information for the exact version on the latest packaging. The Verkade Naturel discussed here lists milk and wheat; Melkchocolade also lists soya. You should check the ingredients in dark chocolate spritz biscuits too: the Jumbo version discussed here lists egg and milk, among other ingredients.
No. It depends on the flavour you’re looking for and the features you want to compare. Check the serving size, nutritional information and allergens for the version in question, rather than focusing only on the chocolate coating.
Store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, and keep it well sealed. Follow the advice on the packaging. The Voedingscentrum lists going soft or stale as possible signs of a loss of quality in biscuits.
