Mini chocolate-coated caramel waffles are a good fit for party bags that you fill yourself with smaller portions. A larger chocolate-coated caramel waffle works better if you want to give each child one waffle. Before handing them out, check the allergens on the current packaging and count how many portions you’ll need. The Daelmans varieties mentioned list wheat, milk and soya, and may also contain nuts.
If you’re handing out treats to a group of children, you’ll need to know whether each child can have a waffle. The Daelmans chocolate-coated caramel waffles mentioned list wheat, milk and soya; according to product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS, they may also contain nuts.
Mini waffles are an option if you want to make up smaller portions yourself. PLUS lists a 157 g bag of Daelmans Chocolate Minis. Check how many minis you want to give each child and how you’ll package them.
A larger waffle makes it easier to plan on one per child. Albert Heijn lists a pack of four Daelmans milk chocolate-coated caramel waffles.
Start by checking whether anyone in the group has an allergy. Then choose a size that suits your party treat and work out how many packs you’ll need.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Allergens | Read the allergen list and any ‘may contain’ warning on the current packaging. Don’t rely on the product name alone. | If I’m handing out treats to a group, I want to know in advance whether a child can have this waffle, and arrange a suitable alternative if not. This allergen check is the top priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Size and handing out | Compare minis with larger waffles and check whether you’ll need to package portions yourself. | For small party bags, I want to choose the portion size for each child myself, while one larger waffle means less portioning. Around 29% of consumers prioritise this format for handing out treats. |
| Availability and quantity | Check that the exact chocolate variety is available and how many usable portions each pack contains. | For a class or party, I want to make sure I can buy enough of the same treat before putting the bags together. This is the main concern for around 21% of consumers. |
| Making up portions yourself | Count how many treats you can make from a pack and confirm that the waffles are actually coated in chocolate. | If I’m filling bags myself, I want to know how many waffles I’ll need in advance and avoid accidentally buying plain caramel waffles. Portioning is the top priority for around 14% of consumers. |
