A large pack of spritz biscuits is most useful when you’re buying for a big group or several journeys: Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as containing 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each. For a smaller group, you could also consider the packs of 10 biscuits at Albert Heijn or 12 at ALDI, without having to carry a bulk box. Whichever you choose, check the label for allergens and think about how you’ll store any biscuits left over.
If you’re looking for one pack to share with several passengers, the number of biscuits and the total quantity are what matter most. A pack for one journey calls for a different choice from a supply for several trips.
For a short journey, a smaller pack may be easier to carry, especially if you don’t want to have many biscuits left over afterwards.
If you have allergies or specific dietary preferences, the ingredients, possible traces, serving size and nutritional information for the variant you choose matter more than pack size alone.
First decide how many biscuits you want to share or keep. Then compare how easy the pack is to carry and check the label on the specific pack you’re considering.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough to share | Compare the number of biscuits with the size of your group. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 × 38 g; Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen as 10 biscuits and 200 g. | If I’m travelling with a larger group, I want to know whether there are enough biscuits to share. Having enough to go round is the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Easy to carry | Check the pack size and think about how you’ll keep an opened pack dry and sealed while travelling. | If I’m only taking a day bag, I don’t want to carry a bulk box or have lots of biscuits left over. For around 25% of consumers, being able to travel light is the deciding factor. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and warnings about possible traces on the label of the exact variant you’re choosing. | If I have an allergy, I want to be able to check whether this particular type of spritz biscuit is suitable to take with me. For around 25% of consumers, checking ingredients and allergens is the main priority. |
| Serving size and nutrition | Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and, if provided, per serving. Decide how many biscuits you’ll take. | I want to know how many biscuits to pack for the journey and how that portion compares with the rest of the food I’ll have on the go. For around 19% of consumers, this is the most important consideration. |
A small pack may be enough for a few travellers, while a bulk box could be inconvenient for one short journey. How much you need depends on your group and what you want to keep after the trip.
Count how many biscuits you want to share before you go, then compare that with the number on the pack.
Ingredients and warnings vary between spritz biscuit varieties. For example, Jumbo lists milk and wheat in De Molen's Banket Spritsen, with possible traces of egg, nuts and soya, among other things.
Check the current label on the pack you’ve chosen before sharing biscuits with anyone who has an allergy.
For NoboSprits Melk, Verkade lists 539 kcal and 29.3 g of sugars per 100 g, compared with 529 kcal and 24.2 g of sugars for NoboSprits Original. These values apply to these varieties, not all spritz biscuits.
Choose chocolate if that’s the flavour you want, but compare the nutritional information per 100 g and for the portion you plan to take.
Lidl lists its 400 g roomboterspritsen as an in-store product. That doesn’t mean the pack will be available at a particular branch when you visit.
Check availability at the shop you plan to visit, and don’t base your travel plans on finding one specific pack.
NoboSprits Original and NoboSprits Melk let you choose between a plain biscuit and a milk chocolate variety.
AH Spritsen is a pack for anyone who wants to take a set number of biscuits with them.
De Molen's Banket Spritsen 40 × 38 g is an option if you’re buying for a large group or several journeys.
The 400 g roomboterspritsen pack is a mid-sized option between smaller packs and a bulk box.
Biscotto Roomboterspritsen is a smaller pack for a group who can share the biscuits.
PLUS Spritsen is a butter spritz biscuit sold in a 175 g pack.
It depends on the number of travellers and what you want to keep after the journey. Albert Heijn lists 10 biscuits in AH Spritsen, ALDI lists 12 in Biscotto Roomboterspritsen, and Jumbo lists 40 × 38 g for De Molen's Banket Spritsen. So compare the number of biscuits, not just the total weight.
Always check the ingredients and possible traces on the pack of the variety you choose. For example, wheat and milk are listed for the NoboSprits varieties described by Verkade and for De Molen's Banket Spritsen; other ingredients and traces vary by product.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal it securely after use. You could take a resealable tin or bag for any biscuits left over, so they don’t end up loose in your bag.
Spritz biscuits are a snack, not a complete meal. If you’re choosing food for a longer journey, consider what else you’ll take and compare the serving size and nutritional information for the biscuits.
