Who is this relevant to?

If you want a waffle with your coffee or tea

Looking for a regular-sized syrup waffle for Sunday breakfast or brunch, with chocolate as a clear part of the treat.

If you want to share at the table

Want to serve smaller chocolate-coated waffles so everyone can help themselves and portions can be flexible.

If you need to compare labels

Want to check ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g before buying. Wheat, milk and soya are among the things to look out for in the Daelmans products mentioned here.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to serve regular-sized waffles or minis. Then compare the chocolate coating and the label on the specific product.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Chocolate coating Check the stated chocolate percentage and compare products made with the same type of chocolate. Albert Heijn lists 29% milk chocolate for the Daelmans 4-pack; Jumbo lists 13.7% for its milk chocolate syrup waffles. For a leisurely breakfast, I want chocolate to be a clear part of the waffle; this chocolate note is the top priority for around 33% of consumers.
Size and sharing Compare the number of waffles and the pack size. For minis, decide how many you want to serve per person. If several people can help themselves at the breakfast table, I don’t want to put out a whole waffle for everyone. Sharing and choosing your own portion are the top priorities for around 25% of consumers.
Allergens and nutritional values Read the current label on the exact pack. Compare sugars and saturated fat per 100 g; for the products mentioned here, also look out for wheat, milk, soya and any statements about eggs or nuts. When ingredients or nutritional values determine my choice, I want to be able to check the right product before serving it; label checks are the top priority for around 25% of consumers.
Availability Check whether the product you want is available in your shop or delivery area. Jumbo marks the two chocolate varieties mentioned here as no longer part of its online range. If I have a particular product in mind for Sunday, I want to know whether I can actually buy it; availability is the top priority for around 17% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming minis are automatically a lighter option

    Minis let you choose your portion, but their smaller size doesn’t change the nutritional values per 100 g. How much you end up eating depends on how many minis you have.

    Compare the nutrition tables on the same basis and decide how many you want to serve.

  • Relying on an old online product listing

    Jumbo says that its milk chocolate syrup waffles and its variety with caramel pieces are no longer part of its online range. So a product description doesn’t tell you whether you can order the waffle now.

    When planning breakfast, check availability in your shop or delivery area.

  • Reading only the front of the pack

    A description such as ‘Belgian chocolate’ doesn’t tell you how much sugar or saturated fat the waffle contains. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing the nutritional values of products per 100 g.

    As well as the description, read the ingredients list, allergen information and nutrition table.

  • Assuming the allergens are the same as in another variety

    The Jumbo varieties mentioned here list egg; the Daelmans varieties mentioned here carry a warning that they may contain nuts. So similar chocolate-coated waffles don’t necessarily have the same allergen information.

    Before eating, check the label on the exact pack you’ve bought.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

The 4-pack and chocolate mini waffles mentioned here come in two sizes, suited to different ways of serving.

  • Albert Heijn and PLUS both list 29% milk chocolate for these products; the 4-pack contains four waffles, while the minis come in a 157 g bag.
  • For these products, check the label for wheat, milk and soya, as well as the warning that they may contain nuts.

Albert Heijn

Lists both an AH chocolate syrup waffle made with milk chocolate and a Daelmans chocolate variety.

  • The Daelmans product listing includes information on ingredients, allergens and nutritional values.
  • Product information can change, so compare the online listing with the pack before eating.

Jumbo

The product listings describe a milk chocolate syrup waffle and a variety with milk chocolate and salted caramel pieces.

  • The listings state that they contain 13.7% milk chocolate and 5% salted caramel pieces, respectively.
  • Jumbo marks both products as no longer part of its online range; check which varieties are currently available.

PLUS

Lists Daelmans chocolate mini waffles and a Daelmans chocolate snack pack.

  • The listing for the minis includes information about the milk chocolate and allergens.
  • When buying, check the specific product and its label; the Daelmans products mentioned here contain wheat, milk and soya, and may contain nuts.

ALDI

ALDI also lists a chocolate-coated syrup waffle in its biscuit range.

  • This makes the biscuit range worth considering if you’re looking for a chocolate variety.
  • Before comparing a specific pack with another variety, check its chocolate content, ingredients and allergens.

Lidl

Lidl lists syrup waffles in its Sondey biscuit range.

  • Sondey is therefore worth considering if you’re browsing the biscuit aisle for syrup waffles.
  • Check the pack to see whether the Sondey syrup waffle you’ve chosen is chocolate-coated; you can’t tell from the general range listing.

Frequently asked questions

Are chocolate-coated syrup waffles a good choice for Sunday breakfast?

It’s better to serve them as a sweet addition to breakfast than as breakfast on their own. If you want to compare varieties, check the ingredients and nutritional values for the portion you plan to serve.

How do I compare a regular-sized waffle with minis?

Compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then decide how many waffles or minis you want to serve. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends using the values per 100 g as a basis for comparison; size alone doesn’t tell you how much you’ll end up eating.

Which allergens should I check in these chocolate varieties?

At the very least, check the pack for wheat, milk and soya in the varieties mentioned here. The Jumbo varieties mentioned here also list egg, while the Daelmans varieties mentioned here may contain nuts. Always read the label on the exact waffle you plan to eat.

What if the online product information differs from the pack?

Before eating, check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you have in front of you. Product information can change, so if there’s a difference, don’t rely on a photo or an older product listing.

How should I store chocolate-coated syrup waffles?

Follow the storage advice on the pack for your variety. The product information for the Daelmans and Jumbo varieties mentioned here recommends storing them in a cool, dry place; Daelmans also recommends keeping them somewhere dark.
