If you want each child to get one sealed biscuit in their party bag, choose spritz biscuits whose packaging clearly states that each biscuit is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn describes De Molen's Banket Sprits as a box of 40 individually wrapped biscuits, each weighing 38 g; check current availability before making your plans. A standard pack is only an option if portioning the biscuits yourself is permitted under the school’s rules. In either case, check the label for allergens: the spritz varieties described contain ingredients including wheat and milk.
An individually wrapped biscuit can go straight into a party bag, without you having to portion the biscuits at home. Albert Heijn describes De Molen's Banket Sprits as 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, all individually wrapped. Check that you can get them in time before putting the bags together.
Ask about the class’s arrangements before handing out any treats. The De Molen's Banket, PLUS and Verkade spritz varieties described contain wheat or gluten, and list other allergens or possible traces of them. So check the current label of the product you plan to hand out against the arrangements in place.
A standard pack may be suitable if the school allows you to portion the biscuits yourself. PLUS lists a 175 g pack of spritz biscuits, while PLUS lists Verkade Sprits Melk in a 150 g pack. The pack weight does not mean that the biscuits are individually wrapped.
First decide whether each party bag needs to contain a sealed biscuit and what allergy arrangements apply. Then consider whether a standard pack is practical for the number of children.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| One sealed portion per bag | Look for a clear statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped, and check the quantity. Albert Heijn describes De Molen's Banket as containing 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each. | If I want to give each child a sealed biscuit, I don’t want to have to repackage them at home. For around 50% of consumers, individually portioned biscuits are the top priority. |
| Allergens and school arrangements | Ask about the arrangements for the class and check the ingredients, allergens and possible-trace warnings on the packaging. | If there are allergy arrangements in the class, I want to know whether this biscuit can be handed out before I pack the bags. Allergens and school policies come first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Portioning a standard pack | Check whether portioning the biscuits yourself is allowed. Don’t assume the biscuits are individually wrapped based on the pack weight or biscuit count. | Anyone buying a standard pack needs to be able to portion the biscuits themselves in line with the school’s arrangements. For around 20% of consumers, this convenience is the main consideration when buying. |
Albert Heijn explicitly states that each De Molen's Banket Sprits biscuit is individually wrapped. That can’t be assumed from the pack weight of the standard PLUS and Verkade packs described.
Look for a clear statement that the biscuits are individually wrapped, and check this on the packaging you receive.
The spritz varieties described may also contain milk, egg or soya, or carry warnings about possible traces of other allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.
Ask about the arrangements for the class, and check both the ingredients and warnings on the current label.
A product description confirming that biscuits are individually wrapped doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get them in time.
Check stock, any minimum order and delivery time before deciding how many party bags to make. If you choose an alternative, check its packaging and allergens again.

Verkade Nobo Sprits Original and Verkade Sprits Melk are standard spritz varieties to consider if you plan to portion the biscuits yourself.
PLUS describes butter spritz biscuits in a standard 175 g pack.
No, not the spritz varieties described here: the product information from De Molen's Banket, PLUS and Verkade lists wheat or gluten. If the class needs a gluten-free treat, choose an alternative that is clearly labelled as such, and check its current packaging and allergen information too.
Use the retailer’s website to help you decide, but check the label on the packaging you’ll actually be handing out before packing the bags. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains the allergen labelling requirements for prepacked foods; compare the information for the specific product with the arrangements for the class.
Follow the storage advice and use-by date on the packaging. The PLUS and Verkade varieties described should be stored in a cool, dry place; reseal an opened standard pack securely.
