Fancy some chocolate biscuits and wafers to go with your coffee, pop in a lunchbox or share with others? The range spans from Japanese snacks and Korean snacks to large packs of chocolate biscuits. The packaging often looks appealing, but it doesn't always tell you enough about portion size, ingredients or allergens.
With this practical buying guide, you can compare chocolate biscuits, chocolate wafers, filled chocolate biscuits and other wafer snacks based on verifiable product information.
A 200g or 260g bag might look tempting, but check the price per 100g and how the product is packaged. A large pack can be handy for sharing, while smaller portions are better suited to a work bag or lunchbox. Also look to see whether the contents come in individually wrapped portions.
Words like rich, creamy or intense often describe the expected taste and aren't an objective measure. Check the ingredients list. Does cocoa, cocoa mass or chocolate appear relatively early on? With wafers, it's also useful to check whether the chocolate is in the coating, the filling or both.
With Asian snacks, ingredients and nutritional values may be presented differently from what you're used to. Always check the Dutch label or product information. Pay particular attention to wheat/gluten, milk, soya, egg, hazelnuts and other nuts. If you have an allergy, the packaging is the deciding factor, as the composition or production line can change.
For one person on the go, a pack of 16.5g to 50g can be practical. For a family, guests or a treat, packs of 100g to 260g make more sense. Examples include:
If in doubt, compare the net weight, the number of pieces and the nutritional values per 100g. A nutritional value per piece is especially handy if you want to divide the snack into fixed portions.
The shape determines how you use the snack:
With wafers, pay attention to the packaging if you want to take them with you. Thin layers can break more easily than compact biscuits.
As well as allergens, check the amount of sugar, fat and saturated fat per 100g. These values help you to compare different chocolate biscuits fairly. They don't tell you everything about taste, but they stop you from relying solely on the front of the pack.
Also look at the best-before date on the packaging. Store most products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Chocolate can soften in warm temperatures and may develop a slight bloom when it resets. According to the product information from some manufacturers, this is a change in appearance due to fat separation; if in doubt, always check the packaging.

Small packs of around 16.5g to 50g are practical for eating on the move. Think of Meito Pukupukutai, LOTTE Koala's March or Oreo Cocoa Crispy Rolls. In warm weather, check the storage advice, as chocolate and fillings can soften.
Chocolate biscuits usually consist of a compact biscuit, sometimes with a cream filling. Chocolate wafers have thin, crispy layers with a filling and sometimes a chocolate coating. Wafers therefore feel lighter and more brittle, while biscuits are often firmer.
Look at the size, the portion packaging and the allergens. A playful shape, such as koala or panda biscuits, can be appealing, but always check the ingredients list and the current information on the packaging. Product information can vary by flavour, country of origin and packaging.
