ويفر


Explanation:
As I wrote in the discussion above, I assume you're looking for the translation of "wafers" and not "waffles", as the German words in brackets refer to "wafers", and not, as the English word before the brackets says "waffles" (Waffeln = wafers, not waffles).

I think the English word ويفر is so widespread and widely understood in Arabic, it's safe to use. You even see it on the packages of such products, at least in Egypt.

See for example: http://www.andalusiaexpress.com/images/Americana_WaferHazeln...
