Host of a small coffee gathering
You want to put spritz biscuits on a plate and need more than a smaller pack offers. PLUS lists a 250 g pack of round butter spritz biscuits; check the packaging format if you specifically want a bag.
For a small group helping themselves from a plate at the same time, a 250 g pack is a good option if you can store any leftovers according to the instructions on the label. A 175–200 g pack is better suited to a smaller coffee break or a particular flavour preference. For serving a larger group, a box of 40 individually wrapped spritz biscuits is more practical, but it isn’t a sharing bag.
You want to put spritz biscuits on a plate and need more than a smaller pack offers. PLUS lists a 250 g pack of round butter spritz biscuits; check the packaging format if you specifically want a bag.
You want to hand out biscuits individually rather than put out a plate. Jumbo lists a presentation box of 40 De Molen's Banket spritz biscuits; bol describes them as individually wrapped.
You need to check which ingredients and allergens are relevant to your guests before serving. The listings for the products described vary in their mentions of milk, wheat, egg, nuts and soya, among other things, so check each pack you choose individually.
Best for: a small group helping themselves to spritz biscuits from a plate.
Bear in mind: the PLUS pack doesn’t state how many biscuits it contains, so you can’t plan a set number per person.
Best for: a smaller coffee break or choosing a particular type of spritz biscuit.
Bear in mind: it contains less than the 250 g pack, and ingredients vary between types.
Best for: a larger group when you want to hand out biscuits individually.
Bear in mind: a presentation box of individual packs is different from a bag to put on the table.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and portions | Check the net weight, whether a biscuit count is given and whether the spritz biscuits are individually wrapped. | If I’m putting out a plate for my guests, I want enough biscuits without having to guess how many are in the pack. For around 42% of consumers, a practical quantity that’s easy to share is the priority. |
| Leftovers after coffee | Choose an amount you’ll use, and check how to store the pack once opened. | For a small coffee break, I don’t want lots of spritz biscuits left over that I can’t store properly for later. Minimising leftovers is the main concern for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ information on the pack you’ve chosen. | Before offering spritz biscuits to others, I want to know whether the type I’ve chosen is suitable for guests with allergies. For around 25% of consumers, checking this is the top priority. |
Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket 40 × 38 g as a box of 40 spritz biscuits; bol describes them as individually wrapped. It’s a good choice for handing out, not for opening one bag to put out on a plate.
Before buying, check whether you’re choosing a bag, flow wrap, tray or box of individual portions.
The products described include milk and wheat, among other ingredients, while mentions of egg, soya, nuts and possible traces vary between types. The product name alone won’t tell you what you can serve to your guests.
Read the label on the pack you’re actually serving and take your guests’ allergies into account.
If you have spritz biscuits left over, follow the storage advice on the pack to keep them for another coffee break.
Reseal the pack after use and follow the label. Consider a smaller pack if you won’t use the rest or can’t store it appropriately.
Verkade offers NoboSprits Original and a milk chocolate variety for anyone looking for a particular flavour.
PLUS lists 175 g and 200 g varieties of spritz biscuits, as well as 250 g round butter spritz biscuits for sharing over coffee.
Jumbo lists both Lunetta Spritsen met Cacao en Glazuur in a 200 g pack and the De Molen's Banket 40 × 38 g presentation box.
AH Spritsen is a 200 g pack that Albert Heijn lists as containing 10 portions of 20 g.
ALDI lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen in a 175 g pack containing 12 biscuits.
You can’t tell from the weight alone: the size of the biscuits and how many you serve per person also matter. The PLUS pack mentioned contains 250 g, but doesn’t state how many biscuits are inside. If you want to hand them out individually, a box of 40 spritz biscuits gives you a clearer idea of how many people it will serve.
Yes, check the label of the type you’re actually buying. The products described contain milk and wheat, while information about other allergens and possible traces varies. If any ingredients are relevant to your guests, a product page you looked at earlier is no substitute for checking the current pack.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve chosen and seal it properly after use. The product information described includes advice to store them in a dry place; also check the best-before date on the label before serving the biscuits again.
