Choose the amount of spritz biscuits according to how many coffee breaks you’re planning and how many guests you’ll have. A 150 to 200 g pack is an option for a small gathering, while a box of 40 × 38 g is only practical if you need plenty of portions. If you want to divide the biscuits between lunchboxes, check the inner packaging and the number of biscuits; the stated number of portions doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. If you have allergies, always check the current label.
If you’re serving spritz biscuits with coffee and cake to a small group, a manageable pack is a handy choice. Albert Heijn lists nine portions for Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, 150 g; that number doesn’t automatically apply to other varieties.
For lots of guests or repeated occasions, you can work out how much you need and compare it with a larger pack. Jumbo lists a box of De Molen's Banket Spritsen containing 40 × 38 g. Check the inner packaging separately if you also want to make up lunchbox portions.
If you want to pack biscuits to take away or divide them between several lunchboxes, check both whether the biscuits are individually wrapped and the current label. The ingredients and allergens vary between the spritz biscuit varieties mentioned here.
First, work out how many spritz biscuits you actually want to serve or divide up. Then check that the pack and label suit the way you plan to use them.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough to share | Check the net weight and the stated number of biscuits or portions; choose an amount that suits your guests and the number of occasions you’ll be serving them. | If I’m making coffee for a group, I want enough biscuits to put out without opening several small packs. Around 33% of consumers prioritise having enough portions to share. |
| Dividing them between lunchboxes | Check whether there are individual inner packs and read the storage instructions for an opened pack. | When making up several lunchboxes, I want to be able to divide the biscuits easily and store the rest properly. For around 25% of consumers, this practical way of dividing them is their top priority. |
| A suitable pack size | Compare the contents with the number of biscuits you’re likely to use; a bigger pack isn’t automatically more practical. | When I only have coffee and cake now and then, I don’t want to open a large quantity that I won’t finish. A suitable pack size is a top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional information on the current label, even if you recognise the brand. | If someone sharing the food needs to avoid an ingredient, I want to be able to check the exact variety. Around 17% of consumers give checking the label top priority. |
Jumbo lists the De Molen's Banket Spritsen bulk box as 40 × 38 g. On its own, that information doesn’t tell you how the biscuits are packed inside the box.
Check the inner packaging before choosing the box for lunchboxes. If you need individual portions, allow for using your own container or bag.
Different spritz biscuit varieties can have different ingredients and allergen information. A plain variety and a chocolate variety aren’t necessarily interchangeable.
Check the current label for the variety you’ve chosen, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens.
The number of biscuits in a pack doesn’t tell you the nutritional value per portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that many snacks are high in sugar or saturated fat.
Check the ingredients and nutritional information for the spritz biscuits you choose rather than relying on the pack size alone.

The 150 g pack is a good option if you’re looking for milk chocolate spritz biscuits for a small coffee break.
If you want to divide the biscuits between guests or lunchboxes, check the number of biscuits and the inner packaging. Read the current label for ingredients and allergens.
Choose an amount based on the number of guests and occasions, and use the stated number of biscuits or portions as a guide. Albert Heijn lists nine portions for Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, 150 g; Jumbo lists 15 portions for its 200 g Lunetta variety. A portion size doesn’t predict how many biscuits each guest will have.
Yes, as long as you can divide up the biscuits as you like and store what’s left according to the instructions. Check the inner packaging first: a stated number of biscuits, portions or weight doesn’t mean that each biscuit is individually wrapped.
Check the allergen information for the exact variety you’re buying. The spritz biscuit varieties mentioned here include ingredients such as wheat and milk; some products may also list soya or warnings about other allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority emphasises that allergens must be clearly stated on the labels of pre-packed foods.
At the very least, check the net contents, ingredients, allergens, best-before date, any storage instructions and the nutritional information for the pack you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains what information must appear on the labels of pre-packed foods; the details on the pack itself can then help you choose between varieties.
