Choose spritz biscuits based on how many people are eating and what you’d like to do with any leftovers after Sunday breakfast. A large box suits a big gathering or planned stocking up; a 150 or 200 g pack is more practical if you want to avoid leftovers or have a particular flavour in mind. If anyone has allergies, always check the label on the variety you’re buying.
If lots of people are joining you for breakfast, or you’d like to keep some spritz biscuits in the biscuit tin afterwards, the quantity in each pack matters. Jumbo lists a box of De Molen's Banket biscuits containing 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, for a total of 1,520 g.
For breakfast with a small group, a smaller pack may be a better fit for what you want to serve. Albert Heijn lists a 150 g pack of Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuits; Jumbo also lists a 200 g chocolate variety.
If someone needs to avoid particular ingredients or possible traces, the information on the variety you choose is important. Check the latest label just before serving, rather than relying on the label of another pack from the same brand.
First, decide how many spritz biscuits you want to serve and save. Then consider the flavour and check the label if ingredients or allergens matter to anyone in your group.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|

Around 40% of consumers put choosing the right quantity for their group first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings about traces on the latest pack. | If someone at the table needs to avoid an allergen, I want to be able to check the information for this exact variety. Around 40% of consumers put this first. |
| Flavour and portions | Choose between plain and chocolate, and check how many biscuits or servings the pack contains. | For a mixed group, I want to know which flavour I’m serving and how I can divide up the pack. Around 20% of consumers put flavour and portion size first. |
Pack sizes vary considerably. Jumbo lists a box of 40 × 38 g, while Albert Heijn lists a 150 g pack of Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuits.

Check the pack label just before serving too. Albert Heijn warns that online information about ingredients and allergens may change, so check the details and any warnings about traces on the exact variety you’re serving.
