Buying international sweets and biscuits online gives you access to flavours that you may not always find in Dutch shops. Think Oreo biscuits, Japanese snacks, Turkish sweets and Danish butter biscuits. However, the selection can be confusing. Eye-catching packaging tells you little about the contents, serving size or suitability for your household.
With these checks, you can avoid a disappointing purchase and choose more confidently whether you need a snack for the journey, a treat, a party or a cupboard staple to share.
International varieties sometimes differ from the familiar product. For example, Oreo Birthday Cake Flavored Cookies are not ordinary vanilla biscuits, but chocolate biscuits with a cake-like filling. Pocky sticks can also vary in flavour, including strawberry, milk, cookies & cream and chocolate.
Always check the full product name, flavour variant and product image. Also check whether you are buying a biscuit, wafer, gummy or chocolate snack.
A 200-gram pack may seem appealing for a family or party, but not every product contains the same number of servings. A bag of Haribo sweets may be intended for sharing, while a box of individually wrapped snacks is more convenient for lunchboxes or handing out as treats.
Compare the net contents, number of individual portions and best-before date. This helps prevent a large pack from staying open for too long and becoming softer or less crunchy.
International confectionery may contain wheat, milk, soya, egg, nuts, peanuts, sulphites or gelatine. Some products may also state that they contain traces of other ingredients. What is listed in a website product description may also differ from the final packaging label.
Before eating, always read the ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging. If you are unsure, it is best not to use the product. Also pay attention to gelatine: some fruit gummies and sour sweets are therefore unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans.
The ingredients list provides more information than a flavour name or marketing claim. For example, look out for:
The product information for Gusto Raspberry Corn Puffs lists milk and peanut paste, among other ingredients. Milka Choc Cookies product information mentions milk, hazelnut, soya, wheat and egg. This makes a quick allergen check essential.
First decide what you fancy:
Texture varies considerably. A soft gummy is ideal for a sweet jar, while a crunchy biscuit or wafer is often better suited to a coffee break. Individually wrapped snacks are practical for travelling, as the rest of the pack stays sealed.
Use the nutritional information to compare products objectively. Pay particular attention to the values per 100 grams, as these allow a fair comparison between packs. The products in this selection contain varying amounts of sugar, fat and energy, so do not rely solely on the front of the packaging.
Store sweets and biscuits according to the label: usually in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and well sealed after opening. Check the date on the packaging. With delicate chocolate products, heat can affect the texture and appearance.
Why it suits this profile: A compact pack for trying a familiar flavour first, without immediately buying a large supply.
The product name clearly states the original variant and the net contents of 66 grams. The ingredient information includes wheat and soya, among other ingredients.
Cocoa biscuits with vanilla filling; ready to eat and easy to take with you.
Why it suits this profile: A classic choice for coffee breaks, guests or a plate of biscuits on the table.
The ingredients list states 26% butter and also identifies wheat and possible traces of soya and nuts.
150 grams; crunchy Danish butter biscuits with a clear ingredients list.
Why it suits this profile: Handy for birthdays, handing out treats and situations where you want to distribute several small portions.
The pack contains 10 small individual portions. This means you do not have to keep reopening one large bag.
A combination of strawberry and apple flavours, sour strawberry and tutti-frutti strips; contains wheat.
For fans of Japanese snacks, Glico Pocky Strawberry 45 grams, Glico Pocky Cookies Almond and Meito Pukupukutai Chocolate Wafer are compact options. With these products, pay particular attention to milk, soya and wheat in the allergen information.
If you are looking for sour sweets, consider Haribo Fizz Bubble, Haribo Happy Cherry Soda and Bebeto Sour Blast Happy Raspberry. The 200-gram Haribo packs are intended for sharing. According to the product information, Bebeto Sour Blast is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but always check the current label.
For chocolate, Milka Choc Cookies, G’woon Crispy Brownie Chocolate Cookies and Gusto Ciocoleti Raspberry offer appealing flavour options. The Gusto pack is smaller at 50 grams, while Milka contains 175 grams and lists seven individually wrapped chocolate cakes.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Check the flavour, net contents, ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage advice. Also check whether the pack is suitable for sharing or consists of smaller individual portions.
That depends on the ingredients and shape. Small sweets may pose a choking hazard to young children. Check the age warning, avoid products containing allergens to which anyone is sensitive, and supervise children while they eat.
They should usually be stored in a cool, dry place in a sealed container or pack. This helps biscuits stay crunchy for longer and prevents sweets from absorbing moisture too quickly. Always follow the storage advice on the packaging and check the product before eating.
