Who might enjoy spritz biscuits?

Gamers looking for a sweet snack to share

For a gaming session with friends, it’s worth comparing the pack weight, stated number of servings and storage instructions for after opening.

Anyone giving a small edible gift

A nicely presented pack of biscuits can make a thoughtful little gift. Albert Heijn describes the packaging of AH Spritsen as luxurious, but that doesn’t make the contents a box of chocolates.

Shoppers checking ingredients and allergens

If ingredients such as milk, wheat, soya, nuts or sesame matter to you, the flavour name won’t tell you everything. Check the information on the pack of the specific variety you’ve chosen.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you’re buying biscuits to share or give as a gift, and whether chocolate is important. Then compare the packaging and label of the specific spritz biscuit variety.

Common buying mistakes

  • Mistaking chocolate-coated spritz biscuits for a box of chocolates

    A chocolate coating doesn’t turn a spritz biscuit into an assortment of chocolates. This matters most when you’re buying it as a gift.

    First, think about what the recipient is expecting: biscuits or a proper box of chocolates. Then choose the flavour and pack size.

  • Using the flavour name to check for allergens

    The name alone won’t tell you which allergens are present, even for plain biscuits. The chocolate varieties described include ingredients such as milk, wheat and soya; you should also check the information about nuts and sesame.

    Read the ingredients and warnings on the current pack of the exact variety you want to buy.

  • Relying on an old product listing when planning a purchase

    Jumbo says that Verkade Specials Nobo Sprits Dubbel Chocolade is no longer part of its online range.

    Use the description to identify the variety, but check current availability before counting on it.

  • Forgetting about an opened pack

    You may have biscuits left over after a gaming session that you’ll want to enjoy later.

    Choose a suitable pack size, seal the pack well after opening and store the biscuits in a cool, dry place, following the instructions on the packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Are chocolate spritz biscuits the same as a box of chocolates?

No. Milk chocolate spritz biscuits are still biscuits with a chocolate coating, not an assortment of chocolates. A pack of biscuits can make a suitable small gift, but choose a box of chocolates if that’s what the recipient is expecting.

Which allergens should I check in chocolate spritz biscuits?

Read the current label for the exact variety. The Verkade varieties described include ingredients such as milk, wheat and soya; also check the wording of any warnings about nuts and sesame. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be clearly stated on the label.

How should I store spritz biscuits after opening?

Seal the pack well after opening and store the biscuits in a cool, dry place. Also check the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought.

Can I rely on an online product page for ingredient information?

Use online information to compare products, but check the packaging before you buy as well. Albert Heijn points out that ingredients and allergen information can change when a product is updated.
