For coffee or tea with several guests, choose a pack of 10 to 12 whole caramel waffle biscuits; if you want to hand them out individually, a pack with twin portions is a better fit. Mini caramel waffle biscuits are handy if you want to put together smaller portions yourself, but they aren’t necessarily individually wrapped. Whatever the size, check the label of the variant you choose for allergen information.
A clearly marked twin-pack format is handy if you’re taking them with you or sharing them on different occasions. Jumbo lists Kanjers in packs of 4 × 2; for other twin packs, check how many individual wrappers they contain.
Count how many whole biscuits you want to serve. PLUS lists a 10-piece Daelmans bag; Albert Heijn lists 12 AH butter caramel waffle biscuits, while Jumbo lists 12 portions of its butter variety.
Mini caramel waffle biscuits are small enough to portion out yourself, for example for a lunchbox or serving plate. Check separately whether they’re individually wrapped: the mini size doesn’t tell you that.
First, decide how you’ll be serving them on Mother’s Day: whole biscuits on the table, portions to hand out, or smaller portions you can put together yourself. Then check the quantity and how they’re packed.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Handing out individual portions | Look for the number of twin portions or individual wrappers, not just the total number of biscuits. | If I want to give biscuits to people to take away or share them over several occasions, I want to know which portions are already separated; this is the priority for around 44% of consumers. |
| Whole biscuits for guests | Count the number of biscuits or portions. Jumbo lists 12 portions in its 468 g pack; Albert Heijn lists 12 biscuits in its AH butter caramel waffle biscuit pack. | When having coffee with several guests, I want to know in advance whether there’s a whole biscuit for everyone. Having enough whole biscuits is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Putting together smaller portions | Check the number of minis and the pack weight; separately check whether there are individual bags. Lidl lists around 37 Sondey minis in 316 g. | For a lunchbox or serving plate, I want to choose how many small biscuits to serve; this portion-size choice matters most to around 23% of consumers. |
Eight biscuits may be packed differently from four twin portions. This matters most when you want to hand them out individually.
Check how they’re packed: Jumbo specifies 4 × 2 pieces for Kanjers. Don’t assume another twin pack contains the same number of wrappers.
Small biscuits aren’t necessarily individually wrapped portions for taking with you. Lidl lists around 37 Sondey Mini butter caramel waffle biscuits per pack.
If individual bags or wrappers matter when you’re taking them with you, check that the specific pack says it includes them.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between variants. This is important when you’re sharing caramel waffle biscuits with others.
Read the label on the exact pack you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information for prepacked products is shown on the label.
PLUS lists a Daelmans twin pack containing 8 biscuits, as well as a bag of 10 caramel waffle biscuits.
Albert Heijn lists AH caramel waffle biscuits in an 8-piece pack and AH butter caramel waffle biscuits in a 12-piece pack.
Jumbo lists a 12-portion own-brand pack and Kanjers Original caramel waffle biscuits in packs of 4 × 2.
Lidl lists Sondey butter caramel waffle biscuits in a 12-piece, 480 g pack, as well as a mini version containing around 37 pieces and weighing 316 g.
ALDI lists BISCOTTO Mini caramel waffle biscuits in a 300 g pack, as well as a 300 g mini version from Heerlijck Banket.
Alongside the Daelmans options, PLUS lists a 480 g own-brand pack of caramel waffle biscuits.
This 10-piece pack is ideal for coffee with several people or for sharing.

This pack contains 10 caramel waffle biscuits, making it a good choice for coffee or tea with several people. If you want to give them to people individually, check the pack to see whether they’re individually wrapped, and read the label for allergen information about this variant.
A pack of 10 to 12 whole biscuits is a good fit for coffee or tea with several guests. If you want to hand them out individually, choose a pack with clearly marked twin portions. Minis are an option if you want to put together smaller portions yourself, but check separately whether they’re individually wrapped.
Read the allergen information on the label of the variant you choose, even if you’ve bought the same brand before. The products mentioned include ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya; the information varies from pack to pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information for prepacked products is shown on the label.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and reseal the pack as directed after use. Also check the best-before date and any instructions for storing that specific variant after opening.
Minis are handy if you want to pack a few small biscuits, but their size doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. Check how they’re packed and compare the nutritional information for your chosen variant per 100 g and, where provided, per portion.
