Choose mini chocolate-coated syrup waffles for a platter of small portions, a four-pack for a small coffee or tea get-together, or a larger multipack if you need more waffles. Compare both the number of waffles and the net weight, and check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on your chosen pack before serving them to guests.
If you’re putting out a platter of small portions, minis are a different option from four full-size waffles. Check the number of waffles to work out how many you’ll want to serve; for example, Daelmans lists a chocolate variety with 14 minis.
For a small group, a four-pack may be more convenient than a large multipack. Check which chocolate coating the specific variety has and how many waffles are in the pack.
Read the label on your chosen variety before serving. The Daelmans chocolate varieties reviewed list milk, wheat and soya, and warn that they may contain nuts.
First decide how many portions you want to serve and what size they should be. Then check the product information on the pack you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing portions | Number of waffles, net weight and waffle size. | I want to put out a platter for several guests to help themselves, without judging it on pack weight alone. Having enough portions to share is a priority for around 38% of consumers. |
| A small treat | Number of waffles per pack and nutritional information per 100 g or per portion. | When serving coffee or tea to a small group, I want to know in advance how many waffles I’ll be opening. A portion-controlled treat is the main priority for around 37% of consumers. |
| Labelling and storage | Ingredients, allergen warnings, storage advice and the best-before date on your chosen pack. | If guests need to avoid certain allergens, I want to check the label before serving anything. This check is the most important consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
The flavour name doesn’t tell you how much chocolate a particular waffle contains or how it’s packaged. For example, Albert Heijn lists 29% milk chocolate in the Daelmans four-pack.
Read the product description and ingredients, and check the number of waffles in the variety you want to buy.
The Daelmans chocolate varieties reviewed contain milk, wheat and soya, and may contain nuts. So a shared platter won’t necessarily be suitable for every guest.
Keep the pack handy and check for relevant allergens before serving the waffles.
Daelmans lists 14 mini chocolate-coated syrup waffles in a 157 g pack and four chocolate-coated syrup waffles in a 163 g snack pack. So even at a similar weight, the number of waffles you can hand out differs considerably.
Compare net weight alongside the number of waffles and the portion size you want.
A listing can remain online even when a variety is no longer available to order. The Jumbo pages reviewed for two chocolate-coated syrup waffles stated that the products were no longer part of the online range.
Check that your chosen variety is available shortly before New Year's Eve, and make sure the label matches your choice when it arrives.

Pay particular attention to the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g if these matter to your choice.
The Jumbo pages reviewed stated that neither the milk chocolate variety nor the milk chocolate and caramel variety was still part of the online range. This doesn’t confirm what may be available later or in your local area, so check current availability before you shop.
