Choose the size to suit how you plan to hand them out: minis for small portions, a snack pack for a small group, and a larger pack if you expect to serve more visitors. For the option you choose, check the packaging, allergens and storage instructions; a mini syrup waffle isn’t necessarily individually wrapped.
If you want to offer lots of visitors a small portion, compare the number of waffles and how they’re packaged. Daelmans lists chocolate minis, among other options, as well as a pack of 24 syrup waffles, wrapped in pairs.
For a small group, a compact pack may be more practical than buying a large quantity. The Daelmans Snackpack listed by PLUS contains four chocolate-coated syrup waffles and weighs 163 g.
If visitors can’t read the packaging themselves, you’ll need the information for the exact option you’ve chosen. The Daelmans products reviewed list milk, wheat, cereals containing gluten and soya; they may also contain nuts.
First decide how many portions you want to hand out and how you’d like to serve them. Then check the label and make sure you can transport and store the pack according to its storage instructions.
