If you mainly want a treat for yourself at a garden party and don’t want much left over, start by checking the pack weight and number of servings. Albert Heijn lists Verkade Choco s'mores Kokos as 66 g and six servings; the 180 g Lotus Biscoff bar and nine-piece Choceur pack we looked at are better suited to sharing or saving some for later. Whichever you choose, check the allergens on the packaging and keep chocolate biscuits away from sunlight and heat.
You’re looking for chocolate with biscuit, but don’t want to open a large bar or multipack. The 66 g Verkade pack listed by Albert Heijn is smaller than the 180 g Lotus bar and 300 g Choceur pack we looked at. With six servings per pack, it isn’t necessarily a single serving.
You’re after a particular combination of chocolate and biscuit. Verkade describes Choco s'mores Kokos as a mix of marshmallow and coconut; the Lotus Biscoff bar listed by Albert Heijn combines speculoos cream with biscuit pieces. The latter comes in a 180 g pack.
Before buying, read the label on the exact pack, including any warnings about traces. The products we looked at have different ingredients and allergens, so the product name alone isn’t enough to go on.
First decide whether you want a treat for one occasion, part of a bar or several individual pieces. Then consider whether you can keep the pack somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun, during the garden party.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| How much you want for yourself | Compare the net weight and number of servings; even 66 g can contain several servings. | If I just want a treat for myself, I don’t want to take a large, opened pack home. For around 29% of consumers, a small amount is the priority. |
| Sun, heat and moisture | Read the storage instructions and think about where you can keep the unopened pack until you’re ready to eat. | At a garden party, I don’t want to leave my chocolate biscuits in the sun. Around 36% of consumers put storage first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the pack you’re buying, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. | If certain ingredients aren’t suitable for me, I need to be able to check the exact product before eating it. For around 21% of consumers, this check is the main consideration. |
| More than one occasion | Check the number of pieces and servings alongside the net weight if you want to share or save some for later. | If I don’t want to eat it all at the garden party, I need to consider whether the amount will suit me for later occasions too. For around 14% of consumers, this matters most. |
Albert Heijn lists six servings for the 66 g pack of Verkade Choco s'mores Kokos. So a compact pack doesn’t tell you how many servings it contains.
If you’re looking for something for one occasion, check both the net weight and the stated number of servings.
The 180 g Lotus Biscoff bar listed by Albert Heijn contains twelve servings; ALDI lists nine pieces for the 300 g pack of Choceur Choco & biscuit. Neither is the same as choosing one small treat for yourself.
Choose a pack like this if you’re planning to share or save the rest for another occasion.
Bear in mind that you could have several servings left over after the garden party.
Storage instructions for the chocolate products we looked at recommend a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep the pack closed until you’re ready to eat and store it somewhere cool and out of the sun.
Ingredients vary from product to product. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked foods is shown on the label; online product information can also change.
Check the current packaging before eating, including any warnings about traces.
