Choose a larger pack of spritz biscuits if you want to bring enough for the group in one pack. Choose several smaller packs if you want to combine plain and chocolate flavours, or keep some sealed. Compare the net weight with the number of people you’re sharing with, and check the best-before date and label on the packs you’re actually taking before you set off.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Group shoppers planning to share
If you’re taking spritz biscuits for several people, the way you plan to share them will determine whether one larger pack or a few smaller ones is more practical. Compare the weight of each pack before deciding how many to take.
Shoppers looking to combine flavours
If you want to offer both plain and chocolate biscuits, separate packs give you that choice. For example, Jumbo lists both varieties of Verkade Nobo Sprits in 150 g packs.
Shoppers who need to check allergens
If you’re sharing biscuits with people who need to know about ingredients or allergens, choose packs with intact, legible labels. Check each variety separately, even when the product names look similar.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to share from one pack or spread different flavours and sealed spare packs across several bags. ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in 300–400 g packs, while Jumbo shows Verkade Nobo Sprits in 150 g packs. If you’re considering a larger pack, check that your preferred variety is available when you shop.
| What to consider |
What to check when buying |
Who it matters to |
| Quantity |
Compare the net weight in grams and, if stated, the number of biscuits with the size of your group. |
If I want to share from one supply, I want to bring enough without opening more packs than necessary. For around 31% of consumers, the amount to share comes first. |
| Variety of flavours |
Choose between plain, chocolate or both; check the ingredients for each variety you choose. |
If not everyone wants the same flavour, I’d rather bring two varieties than just a larger pack of one kind. Around 25% of consumers give flavour choice the highest priority. |
| Sharing and leftovers |
Consider whether separate, sealed packs would be easier to distribute among bags or groups. |
I don’t want to open more packs than necessary while we’re out, and I’d like to be able to keep a spare pack sealed. For around 19% of consumers, this is the most important consideration. |
| Allergen information |
Read the label on every pack, including the ingredients and any warnings about cross-contamination. |
If someone in my group needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to read the information on that exact pack before sharing. For around 25% of consumers, this check is their main concern. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming all spritz biscuits are the same
Recipes vary between products and varieties. Verkade lists ingredients including wheat flour and milk derivatives for Nobo Sprits Original; that doesn’t tell you which ingredients are in another pack.
Before sharing, read the ingredients and allergen information on every pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority points out that allergens must be listed on the label of prepacked foods.
-
Counting on one particular large pack
ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in 300–400 g packs, but notes that special-buy items can sell out quickly. So a larger pack isn’t necessarily available every time you shop.
Check your store’s range before you set off. Several standard packs could be an alternative if you can’t buy the larger variety you want.
-
Assuming taking biscuits along is the same as selling them from a stall
Sharing spritz biscuits privately on an outing is different from selling goods or food from a stall or van. Ondernemersplein explains that you need a street trading permit to sell from a pitch on or beside a public road.
If you want to sell or hand out spritz biscuits from a stall, ask the organiser and local council which requirements apply to your activity and location. Make sure visitors can check the product information.

Frequently asked questions
How many spritz biscuits should I take for a group at the Christmas market?
It depends on how many people you’re sharing with and whether you want to bring one supply or several flavours. Compare the net weight of each pack: ALDI lists Biscotto packs weighing 175 g and 300–400 g, while Jumbo shows Verkade Nobo Sprits in 150 g packs.
Should I read the label again for different varieties of spritz biscuits?
Yes, check each variety you choose separately. Verkade lists wheat flour and milk derivatives for Nobo Sprits Original; the ingredients and any cross-contamination warnings on the pack you buy determine what you can share with others.
How can I take chocolate spritz biscuits with me without them getting damp?
Keep the pack somewhere dry and protect any opened pack from moisture. Joybuy says Verkade Nobo Spritzed with milk chocolate is best enjoyed dry; if in doubt, take an unopened pack to enjoy later.
What should I bear in mind if I’m offering spritz biscuits from a Christmas market stall?
Ask the organiser and local council which requirements apply to your location and activity, and make sure the product information is available. Ondernemersplein explains that a street trading permit is required to sell goods or food from a stall or van on or beside a public road; check separately which requirements apply to your Christmas market.
