Hosts who want to hand out individual portions
If guests are helping themselves to a biscuit, you may want to avoid having them open a shared pack first. Albert Heijn describes De Molen's Banket Sprits 40 x 38 g as individually wrapped.
Who is this option for?
Hosts planning portions in advance
A stated biscuit count can help you match the buffet supply to the expected number of guests. According to Albert Heijn, De Molen's Banket pack contains 40 biscuits, each weighing 38 g.
Hosts catering for guests with allergies
If guests need to check the ingredients, it’s important to have the packaging for the product you’re actually serving. Read the current ingredients and allergen information, and keep the packaging available at the buffet.
What should you look for when buying?
Individually wrapped spritz biscuits
Choose this: if each guest needs to be able to take their own wrapped biscuit. Albert Heijn states that De Molen's Banket Sprits 40 x 38 g is individually wrapped.
Bear in mind: Albert Heijn lists this item as unavailable in its range, so check in good time whether you can get it elsewhere.
Spritz biscuits from a multipack
Choose this: if you’re serving the biscuits on a platter or with coffee and individual wrappers aren’t essential.
Bear in mind: a pack or bag with a stated weight doesn’t confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack contains individually wrapped biscuits
A pack’s weight doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit has its own wrapper. This makes a difference to how you can serve the spritz biscuits at your buffet.
Check the pack description before buying, and when it arrives, make sure the individual wrappers are present and undamaged.
-
Relying on availability for your Christmas shopping
Albert Heijn lists De Molen's Banket Sprits as unavailable in its range. The Joybuy product page for Verkade Nobo Spritzed Milk Chocolate also shows no stock; it’s a different product, too.
Check availability just before you buy, and decide in advance whether serving biscuits from a multipack is an acceptable alternative for your buffet.
-
Using an outdated allergen list
Ingredients and allergen information can change, so details on a product page you viewed earlier may not match the pack you’re serving.
Read the declaration on every pack you buy and keep the packaging available for guests who want to check it.
