Voortman Vanilla Wafers
Crisp layers hold a vanilla creme in this 300 g bar. Three wafers weigh 30 g and list 150 calories. The recipe uses real vanilla extract and skips high-fructose corn syrup.
William and Harry Voortman started baking in Hamilton, Ontario in 1951. Trade coverage puts the leased bakery in Burlington, with about 300 staff who moved with the 2024 sale. A Michigan snack firm bought the company for 305 million US dollars. CapVest Partners sits behind that buyer.
Ten servings sit in the pack. Egg, milk, soy and wheat are in the allergen line. Kosher dairy marking is on the wrap. Freeze them in a sealed bag before the date if you want them later.
