Start by considering how many people will be eating and whether the spritz biscuits are an extra treat alongside the pepernoten. A 150 or 200 g pack may suit a small gathering, while ALDI lists a 300–400 g pack of Biscotto for anyone looking to get more biscuits in one pack. Then choose your preferred flavour and check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you buy before serving.
If several people will be eating spritz biscuits alongside your homemade pepernoten, the key thing is how many biscuits are actually in each pack. ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a 300–400 g pack; check the exact weight of the variety in store.
If spritz biscuits are just one of the treats on the table, a smaller pack may be a better fit for what you want to serve. Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo Sprits in a 150 g pack, as well as spritz biscuit varieties in 200 g packs.
If someone at the table needs to avoid certain ingredients, the exact variety matters more than the brand name alone. Allergen information varies between plain, Lunetta and chocolate spritz biscuits; check the current label for details of possible traces too.
First, decide how many spritz biscuits you want to serve alongside the pepernoten. Then compare the flavours and read the label on the pack you choose.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How much to share | Compare the net weight with the number of people eating and the other biscuits on the table. Albert Heijn lists 150 and 200 g packs; ALDI lists 300–400 g for Biscotto. | If lots of people are joining in, I don’t want to run out of spritz biscuits halfway through the baking session. Having enough to share is the top priority for around 45% of consumers. |
| Flavour | Choose between plain, butter and chocolate. PLUS lists its chocolate spritz biscuits as containing 18% dark chocolate. | With spiced pepernoten already on the table, I want to decide whether plain biscuits or a chocolate variety would go better. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this choice of flavour. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and information about possible traces on the label of the exact variety. Check the storage instructions too, in case you have biscuits left over. | If someone at the table needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in this specific pack before serving it. Checking the label comes first for around 22% of consumers. |
A pack of spritz biscuits for a cup of tea might not be enough for everyone at an afternoon of baking. Pack sizes range from 150 g for Verkade Nobo Sprits to 300–400 g for Biscotto from ALDI.
Check the net weight and consider how many people will also be eating the other bakes before deciding how many packs to buy.
Albert Heijn lists wheat and milk for Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel, and soya as well for AH Lunetta. PLUS says its chocolate spritz biscuits contain wheat, egg, soya and milk, among other ingredients.
Before serving, read the label on the exact pack, including information about possible traces. Don’t rely on the label for a different flavour.
Chocolate spritz biscuits offer a different flavour, but may also have a different ingredients and allergen list. That matters when you’re putting something out for several people.
Choose the chocolate variety if that’s the flavour you want, then check that the label is suitable for everyone who’ll be eating.
If you’re not serving all the spritz biscuits during your baking session, the storage instructions on the pack are important for keeping the rest fresh.
Only open what you want to serve and store any leftover biscuits according to the instructions on the pack.
Nobo Sprits Naturel is an option if you want to serve a smaller amount of spritz biscuits alongside the pepernoten.
AH Spritsen and AH Lunetta Spritsen are different varieties, each in a 200 g pack.
PLUS lists both Lunetta Spritsen and Chocolade Sprits in 200 g packs.
ALDI lists Biscotto plain butter spritz biscuits or a chocolate variety in a 300–400 g pack.
These 150 g milk chocolate spritz biscuits are a good choice if you want to serve a smaller chocolate treat alongside the pepernoten. If you’re catering for a larger gathering, consider whether one pack will be enough.

Choose a pack based on how many people will be eating and what other biscuits you’re serving. Albert Heijn lists spritz biscuit packs in 150 and 200 g sizes, while ALDI lists Biscotto at 300–400 g; for the latter, check the exact weight in store.

Neither flavour is automatically a better match. Choose chocolate if your guests would like a chocolate option, or plain if you’d prefer to serve that alongside the pepernoten. Check the ingredients and allergens for your chosen variety too.
