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.
Which pack is best for you?
If you want to share snacks
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 need to check the ingredients
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.
If you’re looking for a particular flavour
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.
What should you look for when choosing?
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.

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. |

| 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. |

Common mistakes
-
Assuming all chocolate-coated syrup waffles are the same
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.
-
Assuming a bag of minis contains individually wrapped portions
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.
-
Relying on the flavour name alone when checking for allergies
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.
-
Assuming an old product listing means an item is in stock
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.

Frequently asked questions
Which allergens should I check in chocolate-coated syrup waffles?
Check the label on the pack you choose for every allergen relevant to your viewing group. The varieties covered here list wheat, milk and soya; some also list egg or carry a warning about the possible presence of nuts.
Does allergen information have to be shown on packaging in the Netherlands?
Yes. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens in prepacked foods must be listed on the label and clearly distinguished in the ingredients list. Read the information on the pack you’re going to serve.
How should I store chocolate-coated syrup waffles after opening?
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.
Can I rely on an older online product listing?
No. An older listing doesn’t guarantee that you can still order the variety. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo pages we checked included examples of products that had been discontinued or were no longer available online; check the current status with your chosen retailer.
