For an Orange match-night, start by choosing a format that suits how you want to serve the syrup waffles: a plate of minis, individually wrapped portions or larger waffles for a small group. Then check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging, and see whether your preferred chocolate or caramel variety is available.
A plate of Daelmans minis lets everyone help themselves to a small waffle; the product page lists a serving as three minis. If you’d rather have a sealed portion ready for each person, the four individually wrapped Kanjers Chocowafels are a different option.
If you have an allergy or follow a strict dietary restriction, the label on the pack you choose is what matters. The Daelmans, Kanjers and Jumbo varieties mentioned list wheat, milk and soya; egg declarations and warnings about the possible presence of nuts vary by product.
As well as milk chocolate syrup waffles, there are varieties with an extra ingredient, such as Jumbo’s waffles with salted caramel pieces. Check that the specific variety is available before planning your shopping around it.
Decide how you want to serve the waffles during the match, then choose a specific variety. The label and current availability may still change your decision.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Allergens and ingredients | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack, including details of wheat, milk, soya, egg and the possible presence of nuts. | If someone in my viewing group has an allergy, I want to know whether the waffle is suitable before serving it. Around 29% of consumers would put allergens first when choosing. |
| Size and serving | Compare the number of waffles and the portion size; check separately whether each waffle is individually wrapped. | For a group, I want to choose between a sharing plate and a sealed portion for everyone. Around 29% of consumers would prioritise how the waffles are served. |
| Chocolate and flavour | Check the description and the stated chocolate percentage; if you’re considering a flavoured variety, look out for extra ingredients. | If the group wants caramel in particular, I’d look for a variety that actually lists it as an ingredient. For around 21% of consumers, flavour would be the main consideration. |
| Availability | Check shortly before you shop whether the variety you want is available to order from your chosen retailer or delivery service. | If I’m planning a particular pack for match-night, I don’t want to find out it’s unavailable only when I’m placing my order. Around 21% of consumers would be most concerned about current availability. |
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, the Daelmans four-pack contains 29% milk chocolate, while the Kanjers Chocowafels are described as containing 40% milk chocolate. Jumbo also lists 5% salted caramel pieces in its caramel variety. These details tell you what’s in each product, not which flavour everyone will prefer.
Compare the descriptions of the specific packs and choose the flavour you’d like to serve.
You can serve minis in a bowl, but their size doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. Albert Heijn does explicitly state that the Kanjers Chocowafels are individually wrapped.
Check the packaging if you want to have a sealed portion ready for each person before the match.
A name such as milk chocolate or caramel doesn’t give you a complete picture of the ingredients and allergens. The information varies between the products mentioned.
Read the label on the pack you’ve actually bought before serving. If the information is unclear, don’t serve the product to anyone with a relevant allergy.
The pages we checked for an Albert Heijn own-brand variety and Jumbo varieties said that those products had been discontinued or were no longer available online.
Check the status with your chosen retailer shortly before you shop, and decide which alternative format would work for your viewing group.

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging for your variety. PLUS says to store the Daelmans minis covered here in a cool, dry, dark place; for the chocolate-coated syrup waffle covered here, Albert Heijn recommends storing it in a sealed tin after opening.
