Mini spritz biscuits are worth considering if you want to hand out small biscuits and the exact variety is available. Jumbo says its Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g is no longer part of its online range. You can portion regular spritz biscuits yourself on a platter or into servings, but check the biscuit size, ingredients and allergens on each pack you choose.
For a children's party, you may want to offer biscuits in small portions. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists a small biscuit as a possible treat; even with mini spritz biscuits, check the size, ingredients and availability.
You’ll want to know in advance which biscuits your guests can eat. Jumbo lists wheat and milk in its Sprits Staafjes Mini and warns that the product may contain almonds. Check the label on the pack you buy.
If mini biscuits aren’t essential, you can portion regular spritz biscuits yourself. Albert Heijn, ALDI and Lidl list regular spritz biscuits in different pack sizes; choose the variety that suits your serving plans.
Decide how you want to serve the biscuits, then check the label and availability of the exact variety.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion sizes | Check the size and number of biscuits in each pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists a small biscuit as a possible treat; a small pack doesn’t guarantee small biscuits. | If I want to give every child a small biscuit, I’ll want to know in advance how many I can actually hand out. Portion size is the top priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you choose, including any warnings about traces of allergens. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I’ll want to check which spritz biscuits may be suitable for them. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| Availability and quantity | Check the current stock of the exact variety and work out how many packs you’ll need based on your guest list and the quantity in each pack. | When I’m shopping for a party, I’ll want to make sure I can get enough biscuits without relying on one hard-to-find variety. This is the biggest consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini as a 125 g pack, but that doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you’ll be handing out to each guest or whether they’re individually wrapped.
Count your guests and decide how many biscuits you want to offer each person. Then check the number of biscuits and the packaging of the variety you plan to buy.
If the pack doesn’t suit your plans, you could end up with biscuits left over.
