If you’re looking for a dark chocolate flavour to add to your pantry, Peijnenburg Chocolade Dubbel Donker is a specific option to consider, but its name doesn’t prove that it has a high cocoa content. Then choose a pack size that suits how much you’ll use, and check the best-before date, ingredients and allergens before buying several packs. A larger plain cake is only an alternative if chocolate flavour isn’t essential.
You’re looking for breakfast cake with a pronounced dark chocolate flavour and want to keep several portions at home. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list Peijnenburg Chocolade Dubbel Donker; check the cocoa or chocolate content on the pack if it will influence your choice.
You want to take a portion of breakfast cake with you or store it for another occasion, without having to open a large cake each time. Jumbo lists a 4 × 34 g pack of Chocolade Dubbel Donker and a 5-pack of Chocolade Karamel Zeezout; check the current pack details and availability when you buy.
You eat breakfast cake regularly at home and find a larger pack practical. A plain cake could be an alternative, provided you use it up in good time after opening and don’t require a dark chocolate flavour.
First, decide whether dark chocolate flavour is essential. Then compare the portion sizes with how much you expect to use, and read the label of the exact variant you want to stock up on.

For around 27% of consumers, checking the label is their first concern. |
The name Peijnenburg Chocolade Dubbel Donker suggests a particular flavour, but on its own it says nothing about the exact cocoa content.
Check the cocoa or chocolate content and the ingredients on the pack before stocking up on this variant.
The Jumbo page we consulted said that the Peijnenburg Chocolade Karamel Zeezout 5-pack was no longer available online. A previous product listing isn’t a reliable basis for a specific stocking-up plan.
Check that the pack you want is available to order and look at the best-before date before buying several.
You can’t tell which type of salt has been used in a specific breakfast cake from the product category alone.
Read the ingredients on the exact pack if this is important to your choice.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list variants of Peijnenburg Chocolade Dubbel Donker; Jumbo also lists Chocolade Karamel Zeezout as a 5-pack.
No, you can’t tell from the product name. If the cocoa content matters to your choice, check the cocoa or chocolate content and ingredients on the pack of the exact Peijnenburg variant.
Seal opened breakfast cake well and check its quality before eating it. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing opened breakfast cake for more than two months in a kitchen cupboard or three months in the freezer; after that, its quality may deteriorate. For unopened packs, follow the best-before date and storage instructions on the packaging.
Check the allergens for the exact variant, as they can differ. Jumbo listed rye and soya for the Peijnenburg Chocolade Karamel Zeezout 5-pack, with possible traces of milk and nuts. Check the current label when you buy.
No, don’t assume that from the name ‘breakfast cake’. Check the ingredients on the specific pack or ask the manufacturer which type of salt is used in that variant.
