Which format is right for you?

If you’re looking for a chocolate bar for yourself

If you’d prefer milk chocolate with pieces of caramel waffle to a separate waffle with syrup filling, take a look at the bar itself. Check the total weight and serving information before deciding how much you’d like to have.

If you’d like to share something sweet with drinks

If you’re serving several sweet treats alongside savoury nibbles, compare ordinary caramel waffles, minis and individually wrapped options by quantity and packaging.

If you need to check ingredients or nutritional information

If an allergen or the ingredients matter to someone who’ll be eating it, read the label for the exact variant. Check the serving size too when comparing nutritional values per serving.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want a chocolate bar or a waffle with syrup filling. Then check whether the pack suits one person or is intended for sharing.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Product format Check whether it’s a chocolate bar with pieces of caramel waffle or separate waffles with syrup filling. If I mainly want chocolate with pieces of caramel waffle, a classic individual waffle won’t meet that preference. Around 40% of consumers prefer this product format.
Sharing and packaging Compare the number of pieces, the total weight and whether each piece is individually wrapped. For a drinks get-together, I want to be able to serve several sweet treats without having to break up a bar first. Around 40% of consumers prioritise being able to share.
Label and servings Check the ingredients, allergens, possible traces and nutritional information per 100 g and per stated serving. If an allergen or the amount per serving is important to me, I’ll only choose once I’ve read the label. This is the main concern for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a bar is one serving

    A bar-shaped pack may contain more than one stated serving. Albert Heijn lists the 150 g Delicata bar as containing fifteen 10 g servings.

    Compare the total weight with the serving size on the pack, then decide how much you’d like to serve.

  • Assuming every product contains the same allergens

    Ingredients and warnings about possible traces vary between products. A caramel-waffle chocolate bar and an ordinary caramel waffle aren’t interchangeable in this respect.

    With every purchase, check the allergen information and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the exact packaging.

  • Assuming a product shown is available to buy

    Jumbo lists its crunchy caramel-waffle caramel bar as no longer available in its online range; the PLUS bar reviewed wasn’t available at the selected store.

    Check shortly before buying whether your preferred variant is available at your store, and choose another product format if necessary.

  • Using average nutritional values for a specific bar

    The Voedingscentrum gives an average for an extra-large caramel waffle. A caramel-waffle chocolate bar has its own recipe and nutritional information.

    Compare the labels on the specific products, per 100 g and, if stated, per serving.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

For anyone looking for an ordinary caramel waffle or an individually wrapped mini.

  • Jumbo describes a large pack of Daelmans mini caramel waffles, individually wrapped.
  • The quantity and packaging vary between Daelmans products, so check which version you’re choosing.

Albert Heijn / Delicata

For anyone specifically looking for a milk chocolate bar with pieces of caramel waffle.

  • Albert Heijn describes a 150 g Delicata bar with pieces of caramel waffle and fudge.
  • The pack lists fifteen 10 g servings, so one bar isn’t the same as one stated serving.

Jumbo

For anyone comparing ordinary and mini caramel waffles.

  • Jumbo lists 468 g butter caramel waffles and 300 g mini caramel waffles in its range.
  • Jumbo lists its 150 g crunchy caramel-waffle caramel bar as no longer available in its online range.

PLUS

For anyone considering a caramel-waffle milk chocolate bar.

  • PLUS describes a 140 g bar containing 84% milk chocolate, 8% pieces of caramel waffle and 8% fudge.
  • The product page says this bar isn’t available at the selected PLUS store, so check availability at your local shop.

Sondey / Lidl

For anyone looking to serve classic butter caramel waffles.

  • Lidl describes a Sondey pack containing twelve caramel waffles, with a total weight of 480 g.
  • Lidl lists this variant as an in-store product, so check the information on the pack you buy.

Heerlijck Banket / ALDI

For anyone looking to share a pack of ordinary caramel waffles.

  • ALDI lists twelve butter caramel waffles with caramel syrup in a 480 g pack.
  • Check the current packaging if ingredients, allergens or nutritional values are important to your choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is a caramel-waffle chocolate bar the same as an ordinary caramel waffle?

No. The bars described by Albert Heijn and PLUS are made with milk chocolate, pieces of caramel waffle and fudge; an ordinary caramel waffle is a waffle with syrup filling. Choose the format you’d like to eat or serve.

Is one bar also one serving?

Not necessarily. Albert Heijn lists the 150 g Delicata bar as containing fifteen 10 g servings. So check both the total weight and the serving information for the bar you’re considering.

Which allergens should I check in a caramel-waffle chocolate bar?

Check the allergen information on the current packaging for the exact bar. For the Delicata bar described, Albert Heijn lists milk, cereals containing gluten and soya, among other things, as well as warnings about possible traces. Other variants may have different ingredients.

Can I rely on a product page for ingredients and nutritional values?

Use the product page to compare variants, but read the information on the packaging before eating the product. Ingredients, allergens and nutritional values can vary between products and recipes.
