Buying wafers might seem straightforward, but the range varies widely in flavour, size, filling and packaging. Whether you’re after filled wafers to enjoy with coffee, chocolate wafers for on the go, or a large box to share, it pays to look beyond the front of the packet.
Marketing copy often leans on words like “creamy”, “artisan” or “extra crunchy”. Those descriptions don’t always tell you much about the ingredients or how easy they are to use. Keep an eye out for these common pitfalls:
First, decide what type of snack you’re after. Chocolate wafers typically combine cocoa flavour with a sweet cream or coating. With hazelnut wafers, the hazelnut may be in the filling while the outside is just wafer layers. If you prefer a milder taste, look at vanilla wafers or a variety with milk cream.
For a fruity option, strawberry wafers or biscuit sticks with strawberry flavour are a good choice. Pay attention to the difference between strawberry powder, flavouring and colourings. With international products, such as Asian wafers and biscuit sticks, the taste can differ from familiar Dutch biscuit products.
An individual portion is handy for a lunchbox, train journey or a snack at your desk. A larger pack works better when you want to share wafers or order several staples at once.
Check:
A product with 12 portions of 27 g, such as Nabati Butter Caramel, offers a different experience to a bag of 150 g wafers that you need to divide yourself.
Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. If you want a less sweet snack, compare the sugar content per 100 g. Also look at fats, saturated fats and salt. These values aren’t a quality judgement, but they help you compare products objectively.
Many wafer products contain gluten, milk and soya. Hazelnut wafers may also contain nuts or mention traces of other nuts. Sesame wafers may contain sesame and peanuts. If you have an allergy or intolerance, it’s important not only to check the online product information but also to read the actual label. The packaging may contain more or different information.
Why this fits the profile: A familiar vanilla flavour and a 150 g pack make this a practical choice for a coffee break or sharing at home.
The net weight and flavour are clearly stated. So you know you’re buying a plain vanilla wafer, without paying for a vague flavour claim.
150 g content; vanilla flavour; according to the product information, made in the Netherlands.
Why this fits the profile: This individual bar combines crispy layers, hazelnut filling and a milk chocolate coating for a clearly defined snack portion.
The 33 g size means you don’t have to store a large opened bag for a long time. The allergens, including wheat, milk, hazelnuts and soya, are listed in the product information.
33 g per bar; milk chocolate coating; approximately 177 kcal per stated serving according to the product information.
Why this fits the profile: The box of 12 individually wrapped wafers is ideal for families, stocking the cupboard or snacks for several workdays.
The portions are individually wrapped, so the rest of the box is less exposed to moisture. The total weight is 324 g: 12 portions of 27 g.
12 individual portions; butter caramel flavour; per 100 g stated: 481 kcal and 33.3 g sugars.
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.
For fans of Asian wafers, there are options such as WantWant Chocolate-Filled Wafer Rolls and Glico Pocky varieties with strawberry or milk chocolate. These small packs are perfect with tea, on the go or for sharing.
If you fancy something fruity, look at Glico Pocky Strawberry or Ülker Deluxe Strawberry Cream Wafer. For a less sweet, savoury option, there are also wafer-style snacks with cheese or barbecue seasoning. In that case, pay extra attention to the salt content: HuangLaoWu Barbecue Wafer, for example, states 2.8 g salt per 100 g.
Individually wrapped products such as Sarelle, Nabati or small Glico packs are practical. They take up little space and you don’t have to open a whole bag at once.
Store wafers according to the instructions on the pack in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Seal an opened bag well or keep the remaining wafers in an airtight container. Always check the packaging and best-before date before eating.
Compare the net weight, number of portions, ingredients, allergens and nutritional values. Also check the country of origin and the product information on the packaging when it arrives. This way you can choose more carefully between filled wafers, chocolate wafers, vanilla wafers and other sweet snacks.
