Choose a 3-pack if you mainly need plenty of biscuits by weight for a larger group: the Verkade Nobo Sprits Melkchocolade multipack at Albert Heijn contains three separate 150 g packs, not individually wrapped portions for handing out. If you want to count out one biscuit for each person in advance, AH Spritsen, with 10 biscuits, and Biscotto Roomboterspritsen, with 12, make it easier to plan. Check the label on the exact pack you choose for allergen information.
If you want to buy enough for a larger group in one go, the total weight matters more than the number of packs alone. The Verkade Nobo Sprits Melkchocolade 3-pack at Albert Heijn contains three separate 150 g packs, 450 g in total; the biscuits are not individually packed for each person.
A stated biscuit count is useful for handing out a set number or packing lunchboxes. Albert Heijn lists 10 biscuits in a pack of AH Spritsen, while ALDI Netherlands lists 12 in a pack of Biscotto Roomboterspritsen.
If someone taking part needs to avoid certain ingredients, the information on the exact pack is what matters. The spritz biscuit varieties reviewed differ in the allergens they contain and their warnings about possible traces, so check the label before handing them out.
First decide whether you mainly need a larger total weight or a set number of biscuits. Then check the allergen information on the pack you choose.
