If you want to serve chocolate on crispbread with drinks, choose a crispbread base and decide for yourself what to put on top. If you’re looking for a sweet snack that’s ready to serve, chocolate-coated grain chips are another option, but they aren’t necessarily crispbread. Whichever you choose, check the product description, portion size and current label.
You want a crunchy base and would rather decide for yourself how much chocolate or other topping to add. Wasa also features crispbread in recipes for drinks and snacks; the range Albert Heijn lists under crispbread includes several varieties you can top yourself.
You’re looking for something you can put straight on the table, with no toppings needed. Albert Heijn describes Nestlé Choclait Chips as grain chips with milk chocolate. This is a different type of product from crispbread.
You want to compare ingredients, allergens and nutritional information before serving anything to guests. For a chocolate snack, also check for possible ‘may contain’ warnings, and compare nutritional values on the same basis, such as per 100 g.
First decide whether crispbread itself is important, or whether you’re mainly after the convenience of a ready-made chocolate snack. Then compare the portion size and label of the product you actually plan to serve.
