Choose how many spritz biscuits to buy based on when you plan to share or take them with you. A smaller pack is easier to manage for a small gathering, while a large box is best if you’ll be eating the biscuits over several occasions. For lunchboxes, look for a clear statement that the biscuits are individually wrapped; a multipack doesn’t necessarily offer this. If you’re buying for a mixed group, check the current ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions on the pack too.
If you’re serving spritz biscuits with coffee or putting them out for guests, compare the number of biscuits with the occasions you plan to serve them. For example, ALDI lists a 12-piece, 175 g pack of Biscotto biscuits. A much larger box is best if you want to enjoy the biscuits on several occasions.
If you want to take the biscuits with you or hand them out individually, look for an explicit statement that they are individually wrapped. Albert Heijn says that its De Molen's Banket Sprits come in a box of 40 individually wrapped biscuits, each weighing 38 g. The words ‘multipack’ alone don’t tell you how each biscuit is wrapped.
For a small gathering, or if you’re serving a selection of biscuits, a 150 to 175 g pack may be a better fit than a box of 40. Jumbo lists Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel at 150 g, while PLUS lists butter spritz biscuits at 175 g. Check the current ingredients and allergen information for everyone who’ll be eating them.
First work out how many biscuits you’ll actually need. Then check whether individual wrapping and the ingredients suit how you plan to use them.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How many to share | Compare the number of biscuits and the pack weight with the guests and serving occasions you have planned. | I want enough spritz biscuits to serve with Christmas coffee, without being left with a large surplus. For around 43% of consumers, having enough to share is the top priority. |
| Lunchbox portions | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ on the pack; don’t assume this from the number of biscuits. | If I’m putting spritz biscuits in lunchboxes, I want to be able to take each one separately. For around 29% of consumers, convenience comes first. |
| Leftovers and allergens | Choose a suitable pack size and check the current ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions on the pack. | For a small gathering, I want to avoid leftovers and check what everyone will be eating. For around 28% of consumers, this combination is the main priority. |
A pack of ten or twelve biscuits doesn’t mean each one is individually wrapped. That makes a difference when you’re portioning them out and packing them in a lunchbox.
If individual portions matter to you, check that the pack explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’.
Jumbo said that the four-piece Kraakman Roomboter Spritsring Kerst and its own 10-piece variety were no longer available online. So, an existing product page doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to buy the item for Christmas.
Check the range again when you shop, and consider a non-seasonal pack size as a backup.
Spritz biscuit varieties can have different ingredients and allergen information. ‘Butter’ or ‘chocolate’ doesn’t tell you what else is in the biscuit or what it may contain.
Before eating, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority advises checking the allergen information on the label and in the ingredients list.
