Who is this relevant to?

If you only want a small treat

You want to know in advance how many spritz biscuits you’ll open and what to do with the rest. Albert Heijn lists around nine servings for a pack of Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and ten servings for AH Spritsen.

If you want to add chocolate for Halloween

You’re looking for a spritz biscuit with a chocolatey touch rather than a plain variety. Verkade describes Nobo Sprits Melk as a spritz biscuit with a milk chocolate coating.

If you need to check allergens

Wheat, milk, soya or warnings about possible traces may influence your choice. The information varies by variety, so read the label on the pack you buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether a multi-serving pack suits your solo snacking occasion. Then compare the flavour and the information on the label.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Servings and packaging Check the number of servings and look at the packaging to see whether the spritz biscuits are individually wrapped. If I only want one snack, I need to know whether I can store the rest of the pack properly. For around 45% of consumers, a manageable portion would be the main consideration.
Plain or milk chocolate Compare the ingredients and nutritional information per 100 g and per serving; Verkade lists a 15% milk chocolate coating for Nobo Sprits Melk. For my Halloween snack, I specifically want the taste of milk chocolate, even if that means a different ingredients list. A chocolatey touch would be the main consideration for around 33% of consumers.
Allergens Read the ingredients and any warnings about possible traces on the current label. I only want to choose a variety after checking the allergens in that pack. For around 22% of consumers, that check would be their primary purchasing need.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a multi-serving pack is a single wrapped snack

    The Verkade packs mentioned contain around nine servings, while AH Spritsen lists ten. So if you only want to open one snack, you’ll have spritz biscuits left over.

    Use the number of servings as a selection point, and check the packaging to see whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.

  • Thinking of milk chocolate as just a flavour difference

    Verkade Nobo Sprits Melk also has a different ingredients list: the variety lists soya alongside wheat and milk. The stated sugar content per 100 g also differs from that of Naturel.

    Compare both varieties by ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g and per serving.

  • Relying only on an online product description

    The information on the pack you buy is what matters when checking ingredients and allergens.

    Read the current label before serving or eating the spritz biscuits, even if you’ve compared the varieties online before.

Brands to consider

Verkade

Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and Melk are relevant options if you’re choosing between a spritz biscuit without or with a milk chocolate coating. Both are listed in 150 g packs with multiple servings.

  • Verkade lists a 15% milk chocolate coating for Nobo Sprits Melk; you can compare the ingredients and nutritional information for each variety.
  • A multi-serving pack isn’t the same as a single, individually sold snack. Also check the current label for wheat and milk, and for soya in the milk chocolate variety.

Albert Heijn

AH Spritsen are made with butter and come in a 200 g pack. Albert Heijn lists ten 20 g servings.

  • The product information lists 29% butter and gives a serving size, so you can compare the pack with your planned snack occasion.
  • Ten servings is more than one snack. Check the pack you buy for wheat, milk and any other allergens.

Which spritz biscuits should I choose if I want milk chocolate?

According to Verkade, Nobo Sprits Melk has a 15% milk chocolate coating. Also read the ingredients and allergens on the pack: this variety lists soya, milk and wheat, among other ingredients.

How should I store spritz biscuits after opening?

Store Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel in a cool, dry place, as instructed by Jumbo, and seal the pack after opening. Check the label on any other pack for its storage instructions.
