Buying snacks and baked treats online is handy when you need something quickly for visitors, a film night or a celebratory spread. The range is wide, though: from Asian and Japanese snacks to waffles, tarts, chocolate biscuits and frozen products. Attractive packaging doesn’t always tell you enough about portion sizes, storage or ingredients.
Use this practical guide to focus first on the information that really matters. Then you can choose more confidently from sweet snacks, savoury snacks, sharing snacks and baking products.
A family-size bag may look like a good deal, but check how many portions it contains and whether they’re individually wrapped. Individual bags can be handy for taking out and sharing, while the quality of a large pack may deteriorate more quickly once it’s opened.
Recipes and labels for Korean snacks, Japanese snacks and other international snacks can sometimes differ from those of familiar Dutch products. Always check the allergens on the product page and the packaging. Many products in this category contain wheat, milk, egg, soya or nuts, for example. Also look out for warnings about possible traces.
A frozen product isn’t the same as a ready-to-eat snack. Check whether you’ll need an oven, how long the product needs to bake and whether it can be refrozen. With a baking mix, you’ll also need to allow for extra ingredients such as butter, eggs, apples or sugar.
Don’t compare only the price per pack. Check the net weight and how easy it is to divide into portions. Individually wrapped snacks are handy for a treat at the office. For a family or visitors, a larger pack with several portions may make more sense.
Examples:
Look out for the terms ready to eat, keep refrigerated and keep frozen. Ready-to-eat biscuits, cakes and waffles can usually be served straight away, provided they’ve been stored correctly. Frozen puff pastry and cheese bread should be heated according to the instructions.
Koopmans Roomboter Bladerdeeg contains 10 sheets and must stay frozen until you use it. The pastry isn’t intended to be eaten raw. The original version uses margarine and has a different composition from the butter version. That difference matters if you’re paying particular attention to butter, flavour or ingredients.
For chocolate biscuits, cake and sweet snacks, check the sugar and fat content per 100 grams, among other details. This makes products easier to compare than claims on the front of the pack alone. For savoury snacks, salt content is a useful point of comparison.
Also check for ingredients that matter to your household. For example, Nikko Cheese Cookies lists wheat, egg and soya as allergens. Bonne Maman Lemon Tarts contains wheat, egg, milk and almond, among other ingredients. If in doubt, check the physical packaging, as recipes or labels can change.
Why it suits this profile: The 260-gram pack is a good choice if you’re after a familiar sweet snack to enjoy on several occasions. The biscuits have a milky filling and, according to the label, are portioned as indicated in the serving information.
The weight and allergen information are clearly stated. Once opened, make sure you seal the bag properly and check for possible traces of peanuts or nuts.

Why it suits this profile: These individually wrapped tarts are handy with coffee or tea, or as a little treat for visitors. The product information describes a lemon flavour and a recipe inspired by traditional baking.
The portions are pre-divided, so you don’t have to open the whole pack at once. Do check for wheat, egg, milk and almond.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
It depends on the product, pack size and delivery costs. Compare the weight per pack, the number of portions and the total cost of your basket. International snacks are often easier to find online, but smaller packs can work out more expensive per gram.
Always check the date on the packaging. Store products with a long shelf life in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Seal opened packs properly. Frozen products must stay frozen until you’re ready to use them; follow the instructions on the label after thawing.
Individually wrapped tarts, biscuits and cake are practical choices for a party. For sharing, savoury snacks, cheese bread and pizza bread work well. If you’d like to bake something yourself, frozen puff pastry and an apple-pie baking mix are useful basics. Check the preparation time, oven space and allergens in advance.
