Pfeffernusse Biscuits 180g

Pfeffernüsse are iced gingerbread biscuits with a soft, chewy centre, honey sweetness and warming spices, perfect with coffee or for sharing at Christmas.

What Are Pfeffernusse Biscuits?

Pfeffernüsse are small, rounded spiced biscuits closely associated with German Christmas baking. Part of the wider Lebkuchen gingerbread family, they are often finished with white sugar icing.

These iced gingerbread cookies are made with 10% honey and a fragrant blend of cinnamon, coriander, cloves, anise, ginger and nutmeg. The smooth sugar glaze gives a delicate crunch before yielding to a soft, gently chewy centre. Honey sweetness balances the aromatic spices, making each bite a comforting companion to tea or coffee.

How to Enjoy Pfeffernusse Biscuits

• Serve with espresso, cappuccino or black coffee, letting the warm spices complement the coffee’s gentle bitterness.
• Enjoy with a pot of tea or a mug of hot chocolate for a comforting afternoon treat.
• Add to a Christmas biscuit plate with Lebkuchen gingerbread biscuits and Vanillekipferl.
• Serve beside vanilla ice cream, poached pears or stewed apples for a simple dessert with a little festive spice.
• Share with a warming cup of mulled wine, or include a pack in a Christmas food hamper.

Where Do They Come From?

Pfeffernüsse are a familiar part of Germany’s Christmas biscuit tradition, with related honey-and-spice bakes enjoyed across Central Europe. In Hungary, these white-glazed gingerbread bites are known as habos puszedli.

This version is made in Hungary by Urbán, a confectionery producer with decades of experience creating familiar sweet treats. Its Classics range brings together traditional flavours in convenient packs for sharing and everyday enjoyment.
