Which option is right for you?

If you’re buying for yourself and want to avoid leftovers

If you only want a modest amount of spritz biscuits for your Easter brunch, compare the net weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits. Even a 150 g pack contains more than one biscuit, so check the label for storage instructions once opened.

If you want a classic biscuit with coffee or tea

A plain or butter spritz biscuit could be just what you’re looking for if you don’t want a chocolate coating or Easter decorations. If butter is important to you, check the ingredients for the specific variety.

If you’re looking for chocolate or Easter decorations

A milk chocolate coating or decoration could help you decide, especially if the biscuits will be on display on your Easter table. Before buying a seasonal variety, check that the specific version is available.

What should you look for when choosing?

For an Easter brunch, start by choosing an amount that suits you. Then compare the flavour and presentation, and finish by checking the label on the variety you’ve chosen.

What to consider What should you check? Who is it for?
Quantity Compare the net weight and the number of biscuits, if stated. I don’t want to be left with lots of biscuits after my brunch. For around 25% of consumers, choosing a pack size that suits their needs would therefore come first.
Classic flavour Check the ingredients if you specifically want a butter spritz biscuit. If I’m looking for a plain biscuit to enjoy with coffee or tea, I don’t need a chocolate coating or decorations. For around 25% of consumers, that classic flavour would be the deciding factor.
Chocolate or decoration Check the coating or decoration on the variety, and whether an Easter version is available. If the biscuits are going on display on the Easter table, I might prefer chocolate or decorations. Around 25% of consumers would prioritise this kind of flavour or presentation.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the exact variety. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I can’t rely on the product name. For around 25% of consumers, the information on the label would be the deciding factor.

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming a pack of spritz biscuits is a single portion

    A 150 g or 175 g pack may contain more biscuits than you want for one occasion, even if you’re only buying one pack.

    Compare the net weight and number of biscuits before choosing a flavour. If you need individually wrapped biscuits, check the pack for individual wrappers.

  • Assuming all spritz biscuits have the same ingredients

    Plain, chocolate and Easter varieties may differ in their ingredients and allergens. The appearance or brand name won’t tell you exactly what’s in the variety you’re buying.

    Read the label on the pack you’re actually buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be listed on the label.

  • Planning around an Easter variety as if it’s always available

    PLUS reported that its Easter cream spritz biscuits weren’t available at the relevant store; Albert Heijn listed the AH Excellent Easter spritz biscuits as discontinued.

    Check with your store or delivery location shortly before planning your Easter brunch. A standard plain or chocolate variety could be an alternative if flavour matters more to you than Easter decorations.

Frequently asked questions

Is a pack of spritz biscuits the same as a single individually wrapped biscuit?

No, don’t assume that: the products mentioned are sold as packs of biscuits. If you’re looking for exactly one individually wrapped biscuit, check the net weight, number of biscuits and whether the pack contains individual wrappers.

Should I check the allergens in every variety of spritz biscuit?

Yes. Read the allergen information for the variety you’re buying, as ingredients can differ between versions. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be listed on the label.

Can I tell from the name whether an Easter or chocolate spritz biscuit is suitable for a vegan or gluten-free diet?

No, the product name or decorations aren’t enough to tell you. Check the current ingredients, allergens and any statements on the packaging of the exact product.

How should I store spritz biscuits once the pack is open?

Follow the storage instructions on your pack. The product information mentioned recommends storing the biscuits in a cool, dry place; for the AH Excellent Easter spritz biscuits, Albert Heijn also advised closing the pack securely after use.

Can I count on an Easter variety I’ve seen online being available?

Not without checking current availability. PLUS reported that its Easter cream spritz biscuits weren’t available at the relevant store, while Albert Heijn listed the AH Excellent Easter spritz biscuits as discontinued. So check with your store or delivery location shortly before buying.
