Which size is right for you?

If you want to put out a set portion for each guest

If you’d rather not cut or divide them up on the spot, check how many waffles are in each wrapper. Albert Heijn and PLUS list two Daelmans Duo caramel waffles per pack. That makes portioning straightforward, but it isn’t the same as having one individually wrapped waffle.

If you’d like to share a bowl

If guests would like to help themselves to a small amount, mini caramel waffles offer a different way to serve them than giving each person a set waffle. Albert Heijn lists 8 g portions for its caramel and sea salt mini version; with an open bowl, each guest can choose how many to take.

If you’re also buying for another coffee break

A pack with several full-size caramel waffles is a good choice if you’d like to save some for later. Lidl lists Sondey as a pack of 12, while PLUS offers a bag of 10. Check how to store your chosen pack once opened, and read the label if anyone has allergies.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to put out one waffle per guest, let guests help themselves from a bowl or keep some in reserve for future coffee breaks.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Portion per guest Count the waffles in each wrapper. Albert Heijn lists two Daelmans Duo waffles weighing 78 g in total, or 39 g per waffle. If I want to give everyone a set portion, I want to know in advance whether each wrapper contains one or two waffles. For around 42% of consumers, having a clearly defined portion is the priority.
Sharing at the table Check the size and number of portions. Albert Heijn lists 25 portions of 8 g per pack of its caramel and sea salt mini version. At a coffee table where everyone helps themselves, I don’t want to limit anyone to a set amount. Around 33% of consumers prioritise being able to choose their own portion.
Quantity and ingredients Compare the number of waffles with the occasions you’ll be serving them, and read the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the pack you choose. If there are waffles left after a visit, I want to know whether I can keep them for later and what I’m offering my guests. Having the right amount and clear label information matter most to around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a duo is one individually wrapped waffle

    The Daelmans Duo listed by Albert Heijn and PLUS contains two caramel waffles weighing 78 g in total. So, in this case, one wrapper per guest means two waffles per guest.

    If you want to give everyone exactly one waffle, check both the number of waffles in each wrapper and the portion size.

  • Guessing which allergens a product contains from its name

    A caramel waffle’s name doesn’t tell you which allergens are in the exact version you’re buying. Jumbo lists egg, milk, soya and wheat among the ingredients in Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels, and says the product may contain nuts.

    If a guest has an allergy, check the ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ warning on the packaging of the product you’ll actually be serving.

  • Opening a large pack without a plan for the leftovers

    A pack of 10 or 12 may leave you with waffles for another occasion after a small coffee get-together. Whether that size is right depends on how many you’ll serve now and how you can store the rest.

    Choose the number of waffles with your next occasion in mind, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging once opened.

Brands to help you choose

Daelmans

Duo is worth considering if you want to put out a ready-portioned pack with your coffee. Albert Heijn and PLUS describe a wrapper containing two caramel waffles weighing 78 g in total.

  • The number of waffles in each wrapper is clear: two.
  • Duo isn’t the right choice if you want exactly one waffle per pack.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn’s caramel and sea salt mini waffles are a good example for anyone planning to put out a sharing bowl.

  • Albert Heijn lists 25 portions of 8 g in each 200 g pack.
  • A bowl of mini waffles lets each guest choose how many to have; it isn’t a set, individually wrapped portion.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists its own caramel waffle pack as 8 × 29 g, a size you can compare with a duo or a bowl of mini waffles.

  • The number of waffles and the weight per waffle are listed for this product.
  • The product page says this example is no longer part of the online range, so don’t assume this pack is available.

Kanjers

Jumbo describes Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels as four packs of two waffles each. This is a different product from Kanjers Extra Delicious in the product selection below.

  • The four-duo format makes it clear how many waffles you can put out in each pack.
  • According to Jumbo’s product information, this Original version contains egg, milk, soya and wheat, among other ingredients, and may contain nuts. Check the label of the version you choose.

Sondey

Lidl describes Sondey butter caramel waffles as a pack of 12, weighing 480 g, making it an option to consider if you’re after a larger pack.

  • The number of waffles and total weight help you choose the right pack size.
  • This size doesn’t automatically give you a small portion per guest. Decide how many waffles you want to serve, and check the label for ingredients and allergens.

PLUS

PLUS describes its own bag of 10 caramel waffles and also offers Daelmans Duo as an example of individually wrapped waffles.

  • The two pack formats let you compare a supply of 10 waffles with a wrapper of two.
  • With the bag of 10, you’ll need to decide how many to serve during your visit and how to store the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Is a caramel waffle duo the same as one individually wrapped waffle?

No. The Daelmans Duo listed by Albert Heijn and PLUS contains two caramel waffles weighing 78 g in total. Albert Heijn lists each waffle as 39 g. So, if you want to give each guest exactly one waffle, check how many there are in each wrapper.

What should I check if a guest has a food allergy?

Check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack you’ll be serving, including any ‘may contain’ warning. For example, Jumbo lists egg, milk, soya and wheat in Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels and says the product may contain nuts; don’t automatically assume the same applies to a different Kanjers version. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority points out that allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.

How should I store caramel waffles after opening?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. Albert Heijn says its caramel and sea salt mini waffles should be kept in a sealed tin once opened; check the packaging for any other version.

What should I read on the label before putting caramel waffles out?

Check the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and any storage instructions, as well as the number of waffles in the pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority emphasises that information on prepacked food labels must be easy to read; use the label on the pack you’ve bought to help you decide.
