Buying sweet snacks seems straightforward, but online you will often find major differences in packaging, portion size, ingredients and storage instructions. An appealing photo tells you little about how much you will receive or when you need to use the product. This applies when buying biscuits, cake and pastries, as well as international snacks from Japan, Korea and China.
These practical checks will help you compare products using information you can actually verify.
A 450-gram pack sounds generous, but the number of portions varies significantly from one product to another. According to the product information, Kanjers Original Stroopwafels contains 8 pieces and weighs 320 grams. Bonne Maman Lemon Tarts consists of 9 individually wrapped tarts with a total weight of 125 grams. So do not look only at the number of pieces; also check the net weight and weight per portion.
Terms such as “lemon flavour”, “coconut flavour” or “strawberry flavour” do not automatically mean that the product contains a large amount of the named ingredient. For example, according to the supplied product information, Bonne Maman Lemon Tarts contains 1.3% lemon purée and natural lemon flavourings. Bergen Candy Floss Cookies gets its candy-floss experience from flavouring and colouring.
So check the ingredients list when comparing chocolate biscuits, fruit pastries or other sweet treats.
Some cake products can be stored in the cupboard, while others need to remain chilled or frozen. According to the label, Sakuraseika Hokkaido Milk Cake must be stored in the fridge. SAN QUAN Custard Bun is a frozen product that must be stored at -18 °C or below and steamed before consumption.
Incorrect storage can affect texture, freshness and safety. Always check the packaging when your order arrives.
For snacks to enjoy with coffee or share with others, individually wrapped products are convenient. Bonne Maman Lemon Tarts contains 9 individually wrapped tarts. Glico Pocky Cookies Almond comes in a pack containing 2 portions, with a total weight of 46.2 grams. This makes it suitable for a bag, lunchbox or short break.
For a family or party, a larger pack may be more practical, such as Orion Choco Pie at 468 grams or De Ruiter Bakers Speculaas at 450 grams. Compare the contents with how and when you plan to use the product, not just with the price shown on screen.
When buying biscuits, cake and pastries, pay particular attention to wheat or other gluten-containing cereals, milk, eggs, soya, nuts and peanuts. This information is listed for each product, but may vary between flavours or versions. Glico Pocky Cookies Almond lists wheat, milk and soya as allergens. De Ruiter Bakers Speculaas contains wheat and may contain nuts, according to the product information.
With international snacks, it is especially important to check the current packaging. Online product information may change, and the label on the product you receive takes precedence.
A nutrition table helps you compare products more fairly. Values are generally shown per 100 grams, while a pack may contain several portions. Bonne Maman Lemon Tarts lists 436 kcal and 40 grams of sugars per 100 grams. De Ruiter Bakers Speculaas lists 499 kcal and 32.5 grams of sugars per 100 grams.
This information does not determine whether a product is suitable for you personally, but it does provide an objective basis for comparing different sweet snacks.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
For a familiar choice, consider stroopwafels, speculaas, coffee biscuits or Peijnenburg Whole Wheat Sliced Cake. If you are looking for something different, try Japanese snacks such as Pocky, Korean snacks such as Orion Choco Pie, or Chinese snacks such as custard buns and cake rolls.
Pay particular attention to the following when buying international products:
For homemade pastries, Koopman Puff Pastry Original 450 grams may be worth considering. The pack contains 10 slices of puff pastry for sweet or savoury recipes. The pastry must be heated thoroughly and must not be eaten raw. With Hak Fruit Flan & Cherries at 430 grams, you can add fruit filling to tarts, brownies, yoghurt or pancakes. When opening, take note of the warning about possible stone fragments.
First compare the net weight, number of pieces and price per 100 grams. Then check the ingredients and allergens. Finally, make sure you know whether the product needs to be stored in a dry place, chilled or frozen.
Stroopwafels, speculaas, coffee biscuits and individually wrapped tarts are practical for enjoying with coffee. Kanjers Original Stroopwafels are packed in pairs. Bonne Maman Lemon Tarts are individually wrapped, making them easy to share.
This varies by product and packaging. Always check the best-before date and storage instructions on the label. Once opened, a well-sealed pack can help keep biscuits crisp or cake soft. Frozen products must remain frozen and, according to the instructions, must not be refrozen after thawing.
