Loacker Chocolate Coated Wafer Sheets

פולייט של לואקר דפי וופל

Loacker has a new product on the local market; Chocolate Coated Wafer Sheets. They come in two flavors. One is a white (vanilla) wafer sheet coated in 73% milk-chocolate and drizzled with 9% dark-chocolate and the second is a dark (chocolate) wafer sheet coated in 73% dark-chocolate and has a 9% white-chocolate drizzle.

The Loacker website describes them as:

 “Light and crispy wafer leaves covered with the finest chocolate: what a delight! Incredibly rich in chocolate (82% of the product) and so irresistible…perfectly in line with the expectations of chocolate lovers searching for light crispiness“

Being a big fan of chocolate, and many other Loacker product, their description sealed the deal, now I surely wanted to try this.

I’m not sure how long these have been available in other countries, where Loacker is sold, but they are new to Israel. I also don’t know if a chocolate coated wafer sheet with no “filling” is a new concept altogether or just new to me, but given that I usually prefer the wafer part of the wafers over the filling I found the idea interesting. I was not disappointed when I tasted them.

The 4.5cm square wafer sheets are fairly thick, about .5 cm thick, much thicker than the sheet you get in most other Loacker wafers. I liked that. It gave the wafer substance; it felt like I was biting into a cookie of sorts. The wafer was fresh and crispy just as Locaker promised it would be.

The pleasant surprise for me came from the dark-chocolate. I’ve mentioned on many occasions that I love dark/bittersweet-chocolate, the 60% cocoa butter dark-chocolate coating on these Loacker wafer sheets was richer and more enjoyable than I anticipated it to be. It seemed to be a better quality chocolate than I thought I would get on a wafer. I would go so far as to say non dark chocoholics may think it’s too rich or too bitter. For them I suggest “sandwiching” a milk-chocolate wafer leave with a dark-chocolate one to get the perfect chocolate combination for them.

I did think the white chocolate swirl on the dark chocolate wafer and the dark chocolate swirl on the milk chocolate one got lost in the respective chocolate coating and I didn’t taste them in either case but they did add a pretty design to the wafer.

Bottom Line: I completely agree with the description from the Loacker website. I think Loacker has “done it again” and come up with an enjoyable treat for any wafer or chocolate lover who wants a light snack to accompany their hot drink or if they are looking for something small to curb a chocolate craving. The dark-chocoholic in me was impressed with the richness of the bittersweet chocolate coating. But there is also a wonderful option for milk-chocolate lovers as well. I can see myself buying these again when I want a somewhat special treat.
