If you’re looking for a small quantity
You may not want to open a large pack for a single King's Day occasion. So look beyond the weight: check how many biscuits are inside and how you can store the rest.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘single bar’ means an individually wrapped spritz biscuit
The spritz products mentioned are packs containing several biscuits. So if you’re planning one snack, you may have some left over.
Decide whether you’re looking for one biscuit, a small pack or a bar. Then compare the weight and number of biscuits shown on the pack.
-
Counting on an orange seasonal variety being available
Albert Heijn has a product page for Verkade Oranje Sprits, but a product page doesn’t tell you whether the item will be available when you plan to shop.
Check availability at your chosen shop before planning to buy this variety for King's Day.
-
Assuming all spritz biscuits contain the same ingredients
Plain, butter, chocolate and advocaat varieties can differ in ingredients such as milk, egg and soya. Any warnings about traces may also vary by product.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you’re actually buying.
