Choose individually wrapped spritz biscuits if you want to offer each guest an unopened biscuit, for example when friends arrive at different times. Foods & Goods lists a box of 40 individually wrapped De Molen Spritsstukken; for a small group eating together, a standard pack of 10 or 12 biscuits may be a better fit. Whichever type of pack you choose, check the allergen information on the product you’ve bought before serving.
If your friends aren’t all arriving at the same time, you can offer each person a biscuit without opening the standard pack in advance. Foods & Goods lists 40 individually wrapped De Molen Spritsstukken per box.
A standard pack may be suitable if everyone is having coffee at the same time and individual wrappers aren’t needed. Albert Heijn lists 10 servings for AH Spritsen; ALDI lists 12 biscuits for Biscotto Roomboterspritsen.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the product you’ve bought before serving the biscuits. The type of packaging doesn’t tell you what ingredients they contain.
Choose these if: you want to give guests an unopened biscuit when they arrive; Foods & Goods lists De Molen Spritsstukken for this purpose.
Bear in mind: the listed box contains 40 biscuits, even if you’re only having a small group round.
Choose this if: you want to serve a small group straight from an opened pack.
Bear in mind: store any leftover biscuits according to the instructions on the pack; don’t assume each biscuit has its own wrapper.

| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ statement on the pack you’ve bought. According to Ondernemersplein, allergens must be listed on the label. | If a guest needs to avoid an ingredient, I want to know what these spritz biscuits contain before serving them. Around 20% of consumers put this check first. |
A stated biscuit count doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. Foods & Goods specifically mentions this feature for De Molen Spritsstukken.
If handing out unopened biscuits is important to you, check before buying that the product information or packaging explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’.
A wrapper doesn’t change the ingredients in a biscuit. Even with individually wrapped spritz biscuits, you need to check which allergens are listed on the packaging.
If needed, ask guests which ingredients they need to avoid, then read the ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ statement for the product you’ve bought.
The pack sizes mentioned vary: Albert Heijn lists 10 servings, ALDI 12 biscuits and Foods & Goods 40 individually wrapped biscuits. This makes a difference if you’re only hosting one coffee get-together.
Decide how many biscuits you want to serve and whether you’ll use any leftovers another time.
Ingredients and allergen information can change. If a guest needs to avoid an ingredient, the information on the pack you’ve bought is what matters.
Check the label again just before serving the biscuits.

Yes. According to Ondernemersplein, allergens must be listed on the label of pre-packed foods. If this information is important for a guest, read the label on the pack you’ve bought.
