Buying snacks online seems straightforward: pick a flavour, add a pack to your basket and place your order. Yet there are clear differences in portion size, ingredients, allergens and how easy they are to store. What's more, a striking packet doesn't always tell you much about what's inside.
With this practical guide, you can compare sweet snacks, savoury snacks, biscuit snacks and Asian snacks on the points that really matter for British households. That way, you'll find something for home, work, school, on the go or an evening with guests.
A multipack or family-size bag may look appealing, but always check the net weight and the number of individual portions. A pack with several small bags can be more convenient for school or on the go, whereas a large bag works better for sharing. So don't just compare the price per pack – also compare the price per 100 grams or per portion.
Terms like "dark chocolate", "Italian red meat" or "butter caramel" mainly describe the flavour direction. They don't automatically mean a product contains lots of cocoa, meat or butter. Check the ingredients list and the quantitative ingredient declaration when available. For Garden Wafers, for example, it states that the peanut paste makes up 5%.
Biscuits, wafers and crisps may contain wheat, milk, soya, peanuts, nuts or sesame. Check the label with every order, especially as recipes can change. Also pay attention to sugar, fat and salt per 100 grams. Products with a similar portion size can vary widely on these points.
For snacks on the go, individually wrapped products are practical. They stay sealed until you're ready to eat them and are easy to pop in a bag. For a birthday party or film night, packs with multiple portions or a resealable bag often make more sense.
Examples:
Ingredients are listed in descending order by quantity. If sugar or vegetable fat appears near the top, it forms a significant part of the recipe. Also look at fats, cocoa, milk powder, nut paste and flavourings.
For chocolate biscuits such as Franzzi Mellow Dark Chocolate Flavoured Cookies, the ingredients include wheat, soya, milk powder, cocoa powder and cocoa mass. The allergens are wheat, soya and milk. The Franzzi Cheese Chocolate Flavor Biscuits combine chocolate with cheese powder and also contain wheat, milk and soya.
For anyone with an allergy, the packaging is the final word. "May contain traces of" is not a detail to ignore. Always check the current product information before consuming.
The nutrition table makes comparison easier than marketing terms. When buying crisps, pay particular attention to energy, fat and salt. Lay's Cheese Onion Potato Chips, for example, states 506 kcal, 28 grams of fat and 0.95 grams of salt per 100 grams. Lay's Potato Chips Italian Red Meat Flavour states 500 kcal, 30 grams of fat and 1.5 grams of salt per 100 grams.
For wafers and biscuits, sugar and saturated fat often play a bigger role. Verkade Frou Frou Vanilla states per 100 grams: 540 kcal, 33.8 grams of fat and 36.4 grams of sugar. These figures help you realistically gauge the portion, without relying on the product name.

We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Store biscuits, wafers and crisps according to the instructions on the packaging: usually in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal an opened bag or box well to limit loss of crunchiness. With products that have individual wrappers, the rest stay better protected. Always check the best-before date before consuming, and do not use damaged packaging.
You can combine different categories online, such as buying biscuits, buying crisps, buying wafers and Asian snacks. Compare the content, portion packaging, allergens and nutritional value for each product. This way, you can put together a selection for both everyday use and snacks to share.
Individually wrapped wafers, biscuit snacks and biscuits are practical for on the go. They take up little space and you don't have to open the whole pack at once. Watch out for crumbs, heat-sensitive chocolate and how you carry the snacks in your bag.
The shelf life after opening varies by product. Crisps often lose their crunchiness more quickly due to air and moisture. Biscuits and wafers stay pleasant for longer if you seal the packaging well or store the contents in an airtight container. The date and storage advice on the packaging remain the most important guide.
