If dark chocolate is a must for your work meeting, choose a syrup waffle only if its packaging confirms that it contains dark chocolate. The Daelmans chocolate syrup waffles described by PLUS contain milk chocolate, so they don’t meet this requirement. Also check the number of waffles, how you’ll serve them and the current allergen information on the label.
You want dark chocolate syrup waffles for your meeting, not just a variety with the word ‘chocolate’ on the packaging. The Daelmans chocolate varieties described by PLUS contain milk chocolate; check the product description if you’re considering a different variety.
You’re looking for portions that suit the number of attendees and need little preparation. Mini syrup waffles can be handy, but their small size doesn’t necessarily mean each waffle is individually wrapped.
You want to know before serving whether anyone needs a suitable alternative. According to PLUS’s product information, the Daelmans chocolate varieties mentioned contain wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk; they may also contain nuts.
If the type of chocolate is the deciding factor, start there. Then compare the portions and check the label before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Dark chocolate | Look for ‘dark chocolate’ on the specific product packaging. Only use a cocoa percentage if it’s stated for that syrup waffle. | If I specifically want to offer that chocolate flavour, ‘chocolate’ on its own isn’t clear enough. Around 22% of consumers prioritise a confirmed dark chocolate variety. |
| Easy to serve | Compare the size and number of waffles; check separately whether they’re individually wrapped. | During the meeting, I want to serve portions without having to cut the waffles. Around 28% of consumers prioritise ease of serving. |
| Enough portions | Check that the stated number of waffles suits your group; the pack weight alone won’t tell you how many waffles it contains. | For a larger group, I want to know in advance whether there’s a waffle for everyone. Around 22% of consumers give the number of portions top priority. |
| Allergens | Read the current ingredients list and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens; provide a clearly identifiable alternative if needed. | If attendees need to avoid allergens, I don’t want to rely on the flavour name. Around 28% of consumers prioritise checking for allergens. |
The Daelmans chocolate syrup waffles described by PLUS contain milk chocolate. So they don’t meet a requirement for dark chocolate.
Check the chocolate type on the packaging of the exact variety you want to buy; don’t infer it from a general product name.
Their mini size makes them easy to portion out, but it doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. This could affect whether you need anything else to serve them at your meeting.
Check the packaging description for individual wrappers. Otherwise, plan to use a serving plate and napkins.

No. The Daelmans chocolate varieties described by PLUS contain 29% milk chocolate; this percentage doesn’t indicate the cocoa content. If you need dark chocolate, look for that wording on the packaging of the specific syrup waffle.
Read the allergen information for the syrup waffles you’re actually buying.
