Who is this for?

Office managers handing out individual portions

A clearly defined portion makes it easier to set out one treat for each person. Albert Heijn says the four Kanjers chocolate waffles are individually wrapped.

Chocolate lovers looking for something to have with their coffee

If you specifically want a chocolate coating rather than a plain caramel waffle, compare the type of chocolate and the ingredients. PLUS lists Daelmans Stroopwafels Snackpack Chocolate as containing 29% milk chocolate.

Buyers checking labels for their team

When sharing treats, it’s important to check the allergens and nutritional information for the exact product. The chocolate versions described by Albert Heijn and PLUS list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with how you’ll hand them out and the portion size you want. Then compare the type of chocolate and read the label on your chosen product before serving.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters most to
Sharing and portions Check whether the waffles are individually wrapped, and how many pieces and grams are in a pack. I want to be able to put out one waffle for each colleague without opening a shared pack. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this convenience when handing them out.
Type of chocolate Check the label for the type of chocolate and the percentage of chocolate. If you’re considering a particular flavour, also check that it’s currently available. With my coffee, I’m specifically looking for a caramel waffle with a chocolate coating, not the plain version. Around 33% of consumers give this flavour choice top priority.
Allergens and nutritional information Read the allergen information and compare sugars and saturates per 100 g and per portion, where a portion is specified. Before putting out treats for the team, I want to know which ingredients need attention and how large a portion is. Around 25% of consumers put this label check first.

Common mistakes

  • Handing out a chocolate version without checking the label

    The Kanjers and Daelmans versions described by Albert Heijn and PLUS contain wheat, milk and soya. PLUS also states that Daelmans may contain nuts.

    Read the label on the exact product you’ve bought, and keep the packaging or allergen information to hand when handing out the waffles.

  • Judging by the chocolate coating alone

    A higher stated percentage of chocolate doesn’t, by itself, tell you how the nutritional values or portions compare. Albert Heijn and PLUS list different levels of sugars and saturates for the chocolate versions they describe.

    Compare similar products per 100 g, then consider what one waffle means as a portion.

  • Assuming an old product page means a product is still available

    Albert Heijn listed its white chocolate caramel waffle as discontinued. The Jumbo milk chocolate versions we checked were also no longer listed online.

    Check that your preferred flavour is available before ordering, and read the packaging again when it arrives.

  • Using Nutri-Score as a verdict on its own

    According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, Nutri-Score is designed to compare products of the same type. The score alone doesn’t tell you whether a chocolate-coated caramel waffle is right for the office treats you have in mind.

    Use the score as just one consideration alongside the ingredients, nutritional information and portion size.

Brands to consider

Kanjers

Albert Heijn describes Kanjers chocolate waffles as a pack of four individually wrapped 45 g pieces.

  • The product page lists a coating of 40% milk chocolate; the individual wrapping makes them suitable for handing out one per person.
  • The label described by Albert Heijn lists wheat, milk and soya. Check the allergen information on the pack you buy.

Daelmans

PLUS lists Daelmans Stroopwafels Snackpack Chocolate as a 163 g chocolate version.

  • According to the label published by PLUS, this version contains 29% milk chocolate.
  • The label lists wheat, milk and soya, and states that the product may contain nuts. It gives 42 g of sugars and 12 g of saturates per 100 g.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn listed its own white chocolate caramel waffle as a flavour option.

  • The product information stated that it contained 26% white chocolate and had a 39 g portion size.
  • The product page we checked listed this version as discontinued. Don’t treat these specifications as confirmation that you can order it now.

Jumbo

Jumbo listed own-brand caramel waffles with milk chocolate and salted caramel, as well as a coconut version.

  • The product information for the salted caramel version listed 13% milk chocolate and 5% salted caramel pieces.
  • Jumbo stated that neither of the two versions we checked was still listed in its online range. Check the current range before counting on either of these flavours.

Sondey

Lidl presents Sondey as a brand offering products including biscuits and waffles.

  • If you’re looking for caramel waffles in store, Sondey is a brand to look out for.
  • The brand page doesn’t give specifications that would let you compare a Sondey waffle with the chocolate-coated caramel waffles mentioned here. Check the product name and label of any version you’re considering.

Frequently asked questions

Which chocolate-coated caramel waffle can I hand out to each employee?

Kanjers chocolate waffles are a practical option if you’re looking for individual portions: Albert Heijn describes a pack of four individually wrapped 45 g pieces. When buying, check that the version you’ve chosen still comes in this type of packaging.

Are chocolate-coated caramel waffles suitable as an everyday office snack?

It’s better to think of them as a treat rather than an everyday staple. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that many snacks are high in sugars or saturates. Check the nutritional information per 100 g and the portion size on the label before choosing.

Which allergens should I check?

Always check the label on the exact version you’re handing out. The Kanjers and Daelmans chocolate versions described by Albert Heijn and PLUS list wheat, milk and soya; PLUS also says that Daelmans may contain nuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens required by law must be listed on the label.

What does Nutri-Score tell you about these waffles?

Nutri-Score can help you compare products of the same type, according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also check the ingredients, sugars, saturates and portion size; don’t judge a single waffle on its score alone.

How should I store chocolate-coated caramel waffles at the office?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. The Albert Heijn and PLUS product information we checked says to store the waffles in a cool, dry place. Check the best-before date before handing them out, too.
