For an Easter egg hunt with several guests, 200–215 g bags of potato crisps can help you plan quantities, although the number of bags you need will also depend on what other snacks you’re serving. A simply salted flavour can make a good option for everyone to share, while strongly flavoured varieties are best served separately. If any guests have food intolerances, check the ingredients and allergen information on the actual packs you buy.
If children and adults will be sharing the snacks, a simply seasoned flavour makes a useful starting point. Larger bags are also worth considering: funny-frisch offers Chipsfrisch Hungarian flavour in a 215 g bag, while REWE ja! Paprika Chips and EDEKA GUT&GÜNSTIG Salted Crinkle Cut Crisps each come in 200 g bags.
Before serving, check the ingredients and precautionary allergen information on every bag you’ve bought. This applies even to salted varieties: Lorenz says Crunchips Salted may contain traces of milk.
You can serve a salted variety separately from paprika or more strongly seasoned crisps. That way, guests who like bolder flavours don’t have to share a bowl with those who prefer something simple.
Start by planning the total quantity based on the number of guests and the other snacks you’ll be serving. Then choose a crowd-pleasing flavour and check the packaging information for each additional variety.
| What matters | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough for the group | Compare the weight of each bag with the number of guests and the other snacks on offer. funny-frisch lists Chipsfrisch Hungarian flavour at 215 g; REWE and EDEKA offer the ja! and GUT&GÜNSTIG varieties mentioned here in 200 g bags. | If lots of guests will be helping themselves at once, don’t rely on a single bag to provide enough. For around 31% of consumers, having enough to go round comes first. |
| A simple base flavour | Check the flavour and ingredients list. Chio lists potatoes, vegetable oils and table salt for Ready Salted. | When guests have different tastes, I want to offer a simply salted flavour rather than putting out only strongly seasoned crisps. Around 31% of consumers prioritise catering for different tastes. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and precautionary allergen information on the bag you buy. Lorenz and EDEKA state that some of their salted varieties may contain traces of milk. | If a particular ingredient matters to one of my guests, I want to check the actual pack before serving the crisps. For around 23% of consumers, this is their main concern. |
| Texture and seasoning | Look for crinkle-cut crisps and check the flavour. EDEKA describes GUT&GÜNSTIG Salted Crinkle Cut Crisps as ridged, while funny-frisch describes Intense Chips as extra spicy. | If guests specifically want crinkle-cut crisps or a bolder flavour, serve that option separately from the base variety. Around 15% of consumers prioritise this extra choice. |
People in a mixed group will have different tastes, so spicy or particularly intensely seasoned crisps aren’t an obvious choice for everyone to share.
Start with a simply salted variety and serve a more strongly flavoured option separately.
These labels don’t tell you whether a product is suitable for every allergy. Despite describing Crunchips Salted as “vegan” and “gluten-free”, Lorenz says it may contain traces of milk.
Check the ingredients and “may contain” information on the pack. If a particular allergy is relevant, ask the person concerned or their parent or guardian which information they need.
Online product details and packaging information can differ. Lorenz specifically advises that the ingredients list on the individual pack is the one to follow.
Use product pages to help you choose, then check the packaging again before serving the crisps.
Even a 200 g or 215 g bag won’t necessarily be enough for every group size, event length or selection of other snacks.
Plan the quantity for your specific group and, if needed, have several unopened bags ready.
Crunchips Salted offers a simple salted option, while Lorenz describes Rustics as large, thick potato slices with salt.
According to the manufacturer, Chipsfrisch Hungarian flavour is available in formats including a 215 g bag and a 4 × 40 g multipack; Intense Chips are a more strongly seasoned alternative.

The ingredients and allergen information are shown on the packaging of sealed bags. If you transfer crisps into bowls, make this information available to your guests. Germany’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity explains that the 14 most common causes of allergies and intolerances must be declared on packaged foods in Germany.
No. These labels don’t answer every question about allergens or possible traces. Lorenz describes Crunchips Salted as vegan and gluten-free, but also says it may contain traces of milk. Check the actual pack and discuss individual requirements with the guests concerned or their parents or guardians.
A spicy variety on its own is less suitable for a group with different tastes. A simply salted base and a separate seasoned option give guests a choice. funny-frisch describes Intense Chips as extra spicy and Chipsfrisch Peperoni as fiery.
Try to open bags just before snack time, and reseal any leftovers if you want to keep them. Follow the instructions on the relevant pack; REWE recommends storing ja! Paprika Chips in a dry place away from heat.
