If you expect to hand out biscuits on lots of separate occasions, consider a multipack: Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen with 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each. For a small group, a standard pack may be a better fit, such as Jumbo Lunetta at 200 g, with 15 stated servings. Whichever you choose, check the ingredients, allergens and storage advice on the exact pack.
If you want to hand out individual spritz biscuits at different times, the number of biscuits matters more than the size of the box alone. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 individual biscuits weighing 38 g each. That’s a different quantity from a standard 200 g pack.
A smaller pack makes it easier to match the quantity to your group. ALDI lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen as 12 biscuits in a 175 g pack; Jumbo lists its 200 g Lunetta spritz biscuits as 15 servings. A stated serving does not necessarily mean one biscuit.
If you’re sharing with people who avoid certain ingredients, the label on the chosen variant is what matters. The chocolate variants we looked at list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya; ingredients and possible traces vary by product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.
First, work out how many individual biscuits or stated servings you want to hand out. Then choose a flavour and check the label for everyone who’ll be eating them.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Number of biscuits | Compare the number of biscuits or servings with the total pack contents; don’t judge by the size of the box alone. | If I’m handing them out to a large group on several occasions, I want to know how many individual biscuits I can take with me. Having enough to go round would be the main concern for around 42% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label for the exact variant and check the ingredients and any possible traces listed that are relevant to your group. | If others need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to offer them a suitable option. Checking allergens would be the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Flavour and smaller pack size | Choose your preferred variant, then compare the number of biscuits or servings and the storage advice after opening. | For a small group, I want to choose a flavour without ending up with lots of leftover spritz biscuits. The right flavour and quantity would be the main concern for around 25% of consumers. |
A 175 g pack with 12 biscuits, a 200 g pack with 15 stated servings and a multipack with 40 biscuits offer very different quantities. The number of servings also doesn’t automatically tell you how many individual biscuits are inside.
Estimate how many biscuits you want to hand out, then compare the stated number of biscuits or servings in each pack.
The Verkade NoboSprits Melk variant we looked at lists ingredients including wheat, milk and soya. Jumbo also lists egg in its spritz biscuits with dark chocolate. A different flavour or pack means checking the label again.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you want to share.
Storage advice varies by product. PLUS says that Verkade Sprits Melk should be kept sealed after opening.
Follow the advice on the pack you choose and make sure you can reseal it during the event once it’s been opened.
A pack size mentioned online isn’t a guarantee that it will be available at your chosen shop. ALDI warns that products can sell out quickly due to demand.
Check availability before you set off and decide which other pack size would also suit your group.
Compare the packs listed for each variant: a brand name alone won’t tell you how many biscuits you’ll get or which allergens are listed on the label.
An option if you want to hand out lots of individual spritz biscuits. Jumbo lists a pack of 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each.
Verkade describes NoboSprits Melk as a variant coated with milk chocolate; PLUS lists it in a 150 g pack.
ALDI lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen in a pack of 12 biscuits weighing 175 g, as well as a listing for a larger pack of butter spritz biscuits.
Jumbo lists its own 200 g spritz biscuit variants with cocoa and icing or dark chocolate, as well as the De Molen's Banket multipack.
Start with the number of individual biscuits you want to hand out and compare it with the pack contents. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket as 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, while ALDI lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen as 12 biscuits in a 175 g pack. Jumbo lists 15 servings for its 200 g Lunetta; check the number of biscuits separately if you need it for planning.
Check the label on the exact pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods. Keep that information handy in case anyone wants to know which ingredients the spritz biscuits contain.
Don’t choose based on the word “chocolate” alone: the Verkade NoboSprits Melk variant we looked at lists milk and soya, and Jumbo lists both in its spritz biscuits with dark chocolate too. Check the current pack for the exact variant before taking it for someone else.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you choose and reseal it if the label says to. PLUS says that Verkade Sprits Melk should be kept in a sealed pack after opening; don’t assume the same advice applies to every variant.
