Choose Original or Plain if you want to serve spritz biscuits without a chocolate coating, or Milk if the milk chocolate layer is the reason you’re choosing that variety. Double Chocolate also contains chocolate pieces, but Albert Heijn lists this variety as discontinued. If you’d like to hand out biscuits individually or need to take allergies into account, check the inner packaging and the label on the pack you buy.
You’re looking for spritz biscuits without a chocolate coating that you can offer guests from a pack. PLUS lists Verkade Sprits Naturel in a 150 g pack; check separately whether the biscuits are individually wrapped inside if that’s important for handing them out.
Choose between the milk chocolate coating on Nobo Sprits Milk and the chocolate pieces and milk chocolate coating on Double Chocolate. Check whether your preferred variety is available before planning your get-together around it.
You want to know which ingredients and warnings are listed on the pack you’ve bought before serving the biscuits. Wheat and milk are relevant for the varieties described; for the chocolate varieties, check for soya too, and read any warnings about nuts and sesame.
First decide whether you want to hand out loose biscuits or need individually wrapped ones. Then choose the flavour and check the label before serving to guests with a food allergy.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and handing them out | Check the pack size and whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.

Albert Heijn describes Double Chocolate as having a milk chocolate coating and chocolate pieces, but lists this variety as discontinued. | If I want to serve a classic spritz biscuit or a chocolate one, that preference determines my choice. For around 30% of consumers, flavour is the most important factor. |

A serving size shown on a 150 g pack doesn’t mean that each biscuit is individually wrapped. This matters if you want to give every guest their own wrapped biscuit.
Before buying, check the packaging or product photos for details of any inner wrappers.
