Who is this for?

Anyone looking for a dark chocolate flavour

You want to know whether a syrup waffle really contains dark chocolate, rather than relying on the word ‘chocolate’. The Daelmans snackpack is listed by PLUS as containing milk chocolate.

Festival-goers who want to share

You’re looking for a pack size that works for taking along or sharing. Daelmans chocolate syrup waffles are available in snackpacks, minis and larger packs.

Shoppers checking allergens

You’re buying for yourself or someone else with a food allergy and need information about the exact product you’ve chosen. For a packaged product, read the current label; for loose products, ask for allergen information.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether dark chocolate is a must-have. Then choose a suitable pack size and check the allergen information for the specific product.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this most important for?
Type of chocolate Check whether it says ‘dark chocolate’. If the cocoa percentage matters to you, check that too; a percentage referring to milk chocolate as an ingredient means something different. I’m looking for a syrup waffle made with dark chocolate and don’t want to rely on the flavour name alone. Around 50% of consumers put this check first.
Pack size and sharing Compare the number of pieces and the net weight. Also check how the label says to store the pack you’ve chosen. If I’m sharing with others while we’re out, I want a suitable amount that I can take along. For around 30% of consumers, pack size matters most.
Allergens Read the label on the current pack, or ask for allergen information about the product if it’s sold loose. When I’m buying for someone with a food allergy, I need to know the ingredients in this exact syrup waffle. Around 20% of consumers put this check first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘chocolate’ means ‘dark chocolate’

    According to PLUS, the Daelmans Chocolade Stroopwafels snackpack contains milk chocolate. The stated 29% is the proportion of milk chocolate in the product, not the cocoa percentage.

    Check the type of chocolate on the exact pack and, if it matters to you, look for a stated cocoa percentage.

  • Choosing a large pack without considering how you’ll use it

    A sharing pack is most suitable if you’ll be eating the syrup waffles with other people. Jumbo Roomboterstroopwafels should also be stored in a cool, dry place, according to the storage advice.

    Compare the quantity with what you’ll need at the festival and check the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen.

  • Relying on allergen information from a different pack

    For the Daelmans snackpack, PLUS lists wheat, soya and milk, and says the product may contain nuts. Don’t assume this information applies to a different variety or pack.

    Read the latest label. At a festival stall, ask for allergen information about the loose syrup waffle you want to buy.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

Daelmans makes chocolate syrup waffles with caramel filling in a range of pack sizes.

  • Snackpacks, minis and larger packs offer different quantities for taking along or sharing.
  • The Daelmans Chocolade Stroopwafels snackpack listed by PLUS contains milk chocolate; the product name doesn’t confirm that it contains dark chocolate.

Jumbo

Jumbo’s butter syrup waffles are a classic option if you’re looking for a pack to share.

  • Jumbo lists the 468 g pack as containing twelve portions.
  • If you’re specifically looking for a syrup waffle made with dark chocolate, check the type of chocolate separately for any other variety you choose.

Albert Heijn / Delicata

Delicata is worth considering if you’re also thinking about a chocolate bar rather than a syrup waffle.

  • Albert Heijn lists Delicata bars with 70%, 75% and 85% cocoa.
  • The Delicata syrup waffle-flavoured bar is listed as a milk chocolate bar; a bar isn’t a chocolate syrup waffle.

PLUS

At PLUS, you can view product information for the Daelmans Chocolade Stroopwafels snackpack.

  • The product listing includes ingredient and allergen information for this snackpack.
  • Check the pack you receive when you buy it: product information can change.

Lidl / Sondey

Sondey lists syrup waffles as part of a wider range of biscuits and snacks.

  • This gives you a starting point for looking at syrup waffles when choosing a Sondey product.
  • Check each product to see whether it’s coated in chocolate and, if so, which type. A wider product range doesn’t tell you what’s in a specific syrup waffle.
