Who might enjoy spritz biscuits?

If you want a sweet biscuit just for yourself

You want a biscuit with coffee or tea, but also the freedom to decide how many to take from the pack. Verkade describes NoboSprits as crisp and provides nutritional information per biscuit and per 100 g.

If you’re choosing between plain and chocolate

Your main consideration is the flavour: a plain or butter spritz biscuit, or a chocolate-coated variety. Verkade, PLUS and Biscotto offer products in these different flavour styles.

If you need to check ingredients carefully

You want to know which ingredients and allergens are listed on the exact pack before you buy. The information about wheat, milk, egg and soya varies between the varieties described.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want a sweet biscuit for yourself or a sweet addition to savoury snacks. Then compare the flavour, portion size and ingredients of the specific spritz variety.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
A portion just for you Check how many biscuits are in the pack and whether they’re individually wrapped; compare the nutritional information per biscuit with that per 100 g. If I only want one biscuit, it matters how many come in the pack. For around 31% of consumers, a suitable portion just for themselves is the top priority.
Plain or chocolate Check whether you’re choosing plain, butter, milk chocolate or dark chocolate. With my coffee, I’d rather have the flavour of a plain spritz biscuit than a chocolate coating – or the other way round. Around 25% of consumers give this choice of flavour top priority.
Ingredients and allergens For the variety you’ve chosen, read both the ingredients list and the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the label matters more than my flavour preference. For around 25% of consumers, this is the first thing they consider.
Pack size Compare the net weight and number of biscuits with the occasions you have in mind. I want to know whether I’ll use the rest of the pack another time or share it with others. That’s why around 19% of consumers put pack size first.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing spritz biscuits as a replacement for savoury party snacks

    Thommes Frites describes a traditional selection of party snacks as small savoury bites. Spritz biscuits are sweet, so they don’t automatically serve the same purpose on the table.

    Choose spritz biscuits for a sweet treat, or deliberately serve them separately alongside the savoury snacks.

  • Treating one biscuit, 100 g and a whole pack as the same amount

    Nutritional information per biscuit and per 100 g relates to different quantities; the pack weight doesn’t tell you how many you’ll eat at once.

    Check which quantity the nutritional values refer to, and count the biscuits if you want to work out a portion for yourself.

  • Assuming the label for one variety applies to another

    The ingredients in plain and chocolate spritz biscuits differ. PLUS lists wheat, egg and milk among the ingredients of its butter spritz biscuits; soya is also listed for the chocolate variety.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the exact variety you’re buying.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s in stock

    Lidl lists its butter spritz biscuits as an in-store product. A product listing doesn’t tell you whether it’s available at your local branch.

    Check your branch’s range before choosing spritz biscuits for a planned occasion.
