Use Dutch egg cakes to make individual mini cakes or party treats without baking a base yourself. Albert Heijn Allerhande shows how to top them with fruit and whipped cream, or decorate them with chocolate spread and sprinkles. If you’re looking for chocolate to finish them off, choose according to how you plan to use it; a box of chocolates isn’t automatically suitable for baking. Check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the packaging of the products you choose.

| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |

| What you’ll use the chocolate for | Decide whether you want to sprinkle, spread, melt, serve or give the chocolate as a gift; check the product format and usage information. | I’m looking for a finishing touch for a party treat, while a box of chocolates may serve a different purpose. Around 20% of consumers choose primarily according to how they’ll use it. |
