If you’re catering for a large group, a sharing pack is a different proposition from a standard pack of spritz biscuits: Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, while the standard packs reviewed contain 150–200 g. For a smaller group, a 300–400 g pack or a selection of smaller packs may be a better fit. Check the allergens for each variant and think about how you’ll store any leftovers before buying.
If you want to put out plenty of spritz biscuits at once, check the number of biscuits and the total weight. Jumbo lists a 40-piece pack of De Molen's Banket, with each biscuit weighing 38 g. ALDI also lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a 300–400 g pack.
Packs of 150–200 g let you keep quantities manageable or serve different varieties side by side. Albert Heijn, Jumbo, PLUS and Verkade list spritz biscuit products in this size; check the ingredients of each variant separately.
If someone eating with you has an allergy or avoids certain ingredients, the exact variant matters more than the pack size. Before sharing, check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack, even if you’ve bought that flavour before.
First, decide how many people will be sharing and whether you’d rather open one large pack or several different flavours. Then check the ingredients of each variant you’re considering. A suitable quantity doesn’t necessarily mean the biscuits are right for everyone at the table.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity to share | Compare the net weight and the number of biscuits or portions. If you’re catering for a larger group, you may need more than one 150–200 g pack. | I want to put out enough spritz biscuits without having to open another pack halfway through. Around 40% of consumers say having enough in the pack is their top priority. |
| Choice of flavour | Check whether the variant is plain, butter or chocolate; don’t rely on the brand name alone. | If not everyone wants the same flavour, I’d rather combine smaller packs than buy one large pack of a single variety. Around 30% of consumers put flavour choice first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and allergen information for each variant, including any statements about possible traces. | If someone eating with me needs to avoid an ingredient, I want to be able to check each pack before sharing. For around 30% of consumers, checking the ingredients is the most important factor. |
A standard 150–200 g pack and a box of 40 individual spritz biscuits weighing 38 g each differ considerably in total quantity. One small pack may run out sooner than expected when you’re sharing with a group, while a large box may leave you with biscuits to spare.
Compare the net weight and number of biscuits with the number of people you’re catering for. Only choose a large pack if you can store any leftover biscuits according to the instructions on the label.
Plain, butter and chocolate varieties can contain different ingredients and allergens. That matters when several people are sharing the same packs.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information for each exact variant on the pack, even if you’re familiar with another spritz biscuit from the same brand.
Packaging or ingredients can change. And a product page you viewed previously won’t tell you which variant you’ll actually receive.
When you buy the biscuits and before sharing them, check the label on the pack you receive, including the best-before date, ingredients and allergens.
Verkade Nobo Sprits Original comes in a standard 150 g pack. There’s also a milk chocolate variant if that’s the flavour you’re looking for.
AH Spritsen is a 200 g own-brand pack, which Albert Heijn divides into ten 20 g portions.
ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in plain and chocolate varieties, in a stated pack size of 300–400 g.
PLUS lists Spritsen in a 175 g pack and Lunetta spritsen in a 200 g pack.
Jumbo lists its own 200 g spritz biscuits with dark chocolate. Jumbo also shows a much larger pack of De Molen's Banket, containing 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each; this is a different brand.
A pack containing individual biscuits can be handy if you want one pack to be enough for the group. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, making 1.52 kg in total. If that’s too much, ALDI also lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a 300–400 g pack; check which size you’re buying.
A 150–200 g pack gives you a smaller quantity than a large sharing pack. Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen at 200 g, PLUS Spritsen at 175 g, and Verkade Nobo Sprits Original at 150 g. You can also combine smaller packs if you want to offer several flavours.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal any opened biscuits well. Albert Heijn’s product information for AH Spritsen and Verkade Nobo Sprits advises storing them in a dry place and keeping the pack closed after opening. Check the instructions for the variant you buy.
Yes. Before sharing the biscuits with anyone who has an allergy, check the allergen information for the exact variant. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that 14 allergens must be declared on labels. The spritz biscuit products mentioned here include wheat and milk, among other ingredients; egg or soya are also relevant for some variants.
