For party bags, it’s best to choose a pack of spritz biscuits that states how many biscuits it contains: Albert Heijn lists 10 biscuits for AH Spritsen and ALDI lists 12 for Biscotto Roomboterspritsen. Albert Heijn lists around 9 servings for Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, but doesn’t specify the number of biscuits. Before buying, check the school’s policy and the label on your chosen variety, especially if you need to account for allergens or want to hand out the biscuits individually.
You want to work out in advance how many packs you’ll need to put one biscuit in each party bag. A stated quantity is more useful for this than the weight of a pack alone; the number of servings isn’t the same as the number of biscuits.
You want to know whether edible treats and individually handed-out biscuits are allowed. Check the label on your chosen spritz biscuits for ingredients and warnings that may be relevant to children in the class.
You’re deciding between plain, butter or milk chocolate. Compare each variety separately: ingredients and allergens can differ, even when the biscuits are sold under the same product name.
Decide how many biscuits you want to hand out. Before filling the bags, check that your chosen variety meets the school’s requirements and takes account of any allergens you need to consider.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Number of biscuits | Look for a stated quantity on the pack. Albert Heijn lists 10 biscuits for AH Spritsen and ALDI lists 12 for Biscotto Roomboterspritsen; the approximately 9 servings listed by Albert Heijn for Verkade Nobo Sprits Original don’t tell you how many biscuits are in the pack. | If I want to put one biscuit in each bag, I need to know in advance how many packs I’ll need; around 36% of consumers prioritise a format that’s easy to count. |
| Allergens and school policies | Ask which treats the school allows and read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the pack you buy. The standard wheat-based varieties reviewed are not gluten-free. | When I’m preparing bags for a class, I want to know first whether the biscuits can be handed out under the school’s policy; around 36% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| Flavour | Check the label for the exact variety you’ve chosen. Verkade lists wheat and milk for Nobo Sprits Original and, according to its own product information, soy for Nobo Sprits Melk. | If the pack size and school rules work, I want to choose a flavour I can hand out without mixing up varieties; around 28% of consumers give this choice top priority. |
The weight in grams doesn’t tell you how many party bags you can fill with one biscuit each. Albert Heijn lists 10 biscuits for AH Spritsen and ALDI lists 12 for Biscotto Roomboterspritsen; a serving count doesn’t necessarily tell you how many biscuits are in the pack.
Plan using an explicitly stated quantity. If the pack only gives a weight or number of servings, check it before promising one biscuit per bag.
Plain, butter and chocolate varieties may have different ingredients and allergen warnings. For example, Verkade lists soy for Nobo Sprits Melk, as well as wheat and milk.
Read the label for your chosen flavour and discuss any relevant allergy requirements with the school before filling the bags.
A stated quantity or serving count doesn’t, by itself, tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. This matters if the school has rules about treats handed out loose.
Check the inner packaging and, if you’re unsure, ask the school whether you can put the biscuits loose into party bags.
Verkade Nobo Sprits comes in Original and milk chocolate varieties. Jumbo lists both in 150 g packs.
AH Spritsen are butter spritz biscuits, sold in a pack of 10 biscuits weighing 200 g.
ALDI lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen in a pack of 12 biscuits weighing 175 g, and also offers larger packs of butter spritz biscuits weighing 300–400 g.
PLUS lists its own-brand Spritsen in 175 g packs and also sells an advocaat variety.
Sondey is a Lidl biscuit brand. Lidl also lists butter spritz biscuits in a 400 g pack for in-store sales.
It depends on the school’s policy. According to VOO, schools can set their own rules about treats, so ask what can be handed out in class and whether loose biscuits are allowed before you buy.
According to their product information, the Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, AH Spritsen and PLUS Spritsen mentioned here contain wheat, so they aren’t suitable if you need a gluten-free treat. If you’re looking for an alternative, check that the current packaging explicitly says it is gluten-free.
Not necessarily: according to Verkade, Nobo Sprits Melk contains wheat, milk and soy, while Nobo Sprits Original is listed as containing wheat and milk. Compare the ingredients and allergen warnings for the exact variety you’re buying.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you bought. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, Albert Heijn advises storing the biscuits in a cool, dry place and sealing the pack after opening.
