waferlukot

Waferlukot is a wafer-based confection that consists of multiple thin, crisp wafers layered with sweet fillings, commonly chocolate, vanilla cream, hazelnut spread, caramel, or fruit preserves. The assembled slabs are usually shaped into bars or blocks and may be finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, cocoa, or a glossy chocolate coating. It is typically sold pre-cut into snack portions or as a boxed whole.

Production involves producing or sourcing delicate wafers, preparing the filling, spreading a layer of filling on a wafer, layering another wafer, and repeating to form several stacked sheets. The stack is pressed to compact, then cut into serving pieces and packaged for sale. Some variants use a single wafer with a rolled or folded filling, though the stacked-bar form is most common.

Variants and regional forms: Waferlukot exists in several regional variants, with fillings ranging from chocolate and hazelnut to vanilla cream, caramel, or fruit preserves; some versions include crunchy inclusions like chopped nuts or crisp biscuit bits, and coatings may be chocolate or glaze.

History and market: The exact origins are not clearly documented. The product appears in modern bakery catalogs and snack markets across multiple regions, with production by both artisanal pastry makers and mass-market brands. It is marketed as a dessert component, afternoon snack, or gift item in some locales.
