Serve spritz biscuits as a separate sweet extra, not as a replacement for savoury nibbles: according to Thommes Frites, a typical selection of party snacks consists of small savoury bites. A larger pack makes sense if several guests will also want biscuits; if spritz biscuits are just an extra, choose the quantity you need and check the ingredients and availability of the variety you choose.
You’re serving mainly savoury bites, but would also like to offer biscuits with coffee or tea later. As Thommes Frites describes party snacks as small savoury bites, spritz biscuits have their own place alongside them.
You’re expecting several people to have spritz biscuits and want more net weight per pack. Lidl Nederland lists 400 g of butter spritz biscuits for in-store sale; check that the size is available before you count on it.
You want to know what biscuits you’re offering your guests. Verkade lists wheat and milk ingredients for NoboSprits Original; PLUS lists wheat, egg, soya and milk among the ingredients in its chocolate spritz biscuits. Read the label on the variety you’re actually buying.
First decide whether you’d like to offer something sweet alongside the savoury bites. Then choose the quantity and, finally, check the label on the spritz biscuits you’ve picked.

Spritz biscuits work as a separate sweet extra, not as a replacement for savoury bites. Thommes Frites describes a party snack selection as an assortment of small savoury bites, so serve the biscuits separately, for example with coffee or tea.
Choose a larger pack if several guests will also want spritz biscuits and you expect to use that quantity. Lidl Nederland lists a 400 g pack for in-store sale, while PLUS lists a 250 g butter variety. Alongside the weight, check availability; the number of suitable portions depends on what else you’re serving.
Check the allergens on the label of the exact variety before offering the biscuits to guests. Verkade lists wheat and milk ingredients for NoboSprits Original; PLUS also lists egg and soya in its chocolate spritz biscuits. Ingredients may differ in other varieties.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve bought and close an opened pack as directed. PLUS advises storing its butter spritz biscuits in a cool, dry place and its chocolate spritz biscuits in a dry, dark place, so follow the advice for your variety.
