Choose individually wrapped portions if you want to hand out caramel waffles in advance, but count how many waffles are actually in each wrapper: a duo contains two. Mini caramel waffles are a good choice if you’re serving small portions yourself; a standard bag works if you’re going to portion them out at the party. Always check the ingredients, allergens and best-before date on the pack you choose before handing them out.
If you want to have a portion ready for each child, check how many waffles are in each wrapper. A Daelmans Duo from PLUS contains two caramel waffles, so it doesn’t automatically mean one waffle per child.
If you want to put small treats on the table, you can portion mini caramel waffles into bowls yourself. Bear in mind the time and equipment you’ll need to hand them out.
Ask about any relevant food allergies before the party and check the packaging of the exact variety you’ll be handing out. The Daelmans and PLUS varieties mentioned list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya.
First decide whether you want to have a portion ready for each child or serve them yourself. Then check the pack size and the label on the caramel waffles you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions per wrapper | Count the waffles in each wrapper; don’t rely on words such as ‘single’ or ‘duo’ alone. | I want to give each child one waffle in advance without having to split the portions. For around 29% of consumers, having a portion defined in advance comes first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, and ask about food allergies in advance. | If a guest has an allergy, I need to know what’s in the waffles I’ve chosen before handing them out. This is also the top priority for around 29% of consumers. |
| Small size | Check the size and whether the mini caramel waffles are individually wrapped or need to be portioned out yourself. | I want to offer small portions alongside other party snacks and can prepare them myself. This smaller size comes first for around 24% of consumers. |
| Quantity for the group | Compare the number of items in the pack with the number of portions you want to hand out. | I can portion the waffles out at the party, as long as I have enough for the group. For around 18% of consumers, quantity matters most. |
The Daelmans Duo pack from PLUS contains two caramel waffles. One wrapper per child therefore doesn’t mean one waffle per child.
Before you buy, count the waffles in each wrapper and work out how many portions you want to hand out.
