Choose a 400 g pack if spritz biscuits will make up a significant part of your biscuit tin for several visits; just check that the pack is available at your store. If you’re also serving other Christmas biscuits, a 150–200 g pack makes it easier to control how many spritz biscuits you open. Whichever pack you choose, check the allergens, best-before date and storage instructions.
If you want to serve spritz biscuits on several occasions, the amount in each pack matters. Lidl lists a 400 g pack of butter spritz biscuits that is only available in store. Check whether your local branch stocks it before counting on it.
If you’re putting other biscuits in the tin too, you can keep the amount of spritz biscuits smaller. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 200 g options, while PLUS and ALDI show 175 g packs.
Ingredients vary between products, so check the label on the exact pack, including any ‘may contain’ allergen information, before offering the biscuits to your guests.
First decide how many spritz biscuits you want to serve, then choose a flavour. Before buying, check the label and think about what you’ll do with the pack once it’s open.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight with the number of guests and occasions you’ll be serving them. | If I’m hosting several visits, I don’t want to run out of spritz biscuits halfway through. Around 40% of consumers rank getting enough in the pack as their top priority. |
| Flavour | Choose between plain, butter and chocolate varieties, then compare pack sizes. | If I’m serving different biscuits, I want to decide what flavour the spritz biscuits will add. Taste is the main deciding factor for around 30% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Check both the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. | If I’m catering for guests with allergies, I want to know whether this particular variety is suitable. Checking allergens is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
| Storage and leftovers | Check the best-before date and storage instructions for after opening. | If we don’t finish everything at once, I want to be able to store the rest as directed on the label. This is the most important factor for around 10% of consumers. |
That description doesn’t tell you how many spritz biscuits are in the pack. The products listed range from 150 g to 400 g, which makes a difference if you’re filling a mixed biscuit tin or hosting several visits.
Compare the net weight with your serving plans. Treat any stated number of biscuits or portions as extra information for that particular pack.
Plain, butter and chocolate don’t tell you everything about the ingredients. Verkade, Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list different ingredients and allergens for the varieties mentioned.
Check the current label for each variety separately, even if you already know the brand.
If you’re serving spritz biscuits on different days, you’ll have some left after the first occasion. Storage and resealing instructions vary between packs.
Open the pack when you need the biscuits, then follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
