If you’re putting out a platter of small bites
Daelmans lists a serving of three pieces for its chocolate-coated mini stroopwafels. This size is handy when guests want to help themselves to a little something.
Which sizes are best for different occasions?
If you’re serving a waffle with coffee or tea
A regular-sized chocolate-coated stroopwafel gives each guest their own biscuit. The Albert Heijn pack described here contains five portions; the Daelmans 4-pack contains four waffles.
If you need to cater for allergies
The varieties described contain milk, wheat and soya. Some also carry a warning about nuts or peanuts. Check the current packaging for the product you choose before putting it on a sharing platter.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to share small bites or serve individual waffles. Then compare the flavour options and check the allergens for the product you’re actually buying.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Size and portions | Compare the number of pieces and the portion size. The Daelmans minis described here contain four portions of three pieces; the regular Albert Heijn variety contains five portions of 36 g. | If guests are helping themselves to small bites, I want to be able to put plenty of pieces on the platter. For around 40% of consumers, being able to share is a top priority. |
| Chocolate and flavour notes | Check the type of coating and any additional ingredients. The Jumbo milk chocolate variety described here lists 5% salted caramel pieces; check current availability before counting on it. | For a get-together with a distinctly sweet treat, I deliberately look for chocolate or an extra flavour note. This kind of flavour choice is a top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements on the current packaging. For the products described here, look out for milk, wheat, soya and possible nut warnings. | If guests have allergies, I need to know which product is suitable for them before serving. Around 30% of consumers put this check first. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming an old product page means the item is in stock
The Albert Heijn chocolate stroopwafel and two Jumbo varieties described here were listed on their product pages as no longer available online. So an existing product description doesn’t mean you can order it for your get-together.
Check current availability before planning your snacks. If you choose a different variety, compare the ingredients and allergens again.
-
Sharing chocolate stroopwafels without checking the labels
The products described contain several allergens, but the information varies by variety. What’s more, when they’re on a sharing platter, it may no longer be obvious which packaging belongs to which biscuit.
Read the packaging just before serving, and keep products with different allergen information clearly separate.

Frequently asked questions
Which allergens should I check in chocolate-coated stroopwafels?
Always check the allergens on the packaging of the product you choose. The varieties described here contain milk, wheat and soya; egg is also listed for the Jumbo varieties, while some products carry a warning about nuts or peanuts.
Can I rely on an online product description for allergen information?
Use the current packaging to make your decision. Albert Heijn warns that ingredients and allergen information can change, so check the label again before serving the stroopwafels.
How should I store the waffles until the get-together?
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging you choose. The products described here should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; Albert Heijn advises keeping its variety in a sealed tin after opening.
Is a gluten-free stroopwafel also chocolate-coated?
Not necessarily. The Jumbo Lekker Vrij van Gluten Stroop Wafels mentioned here don’t confirm that those waffles are chocolate-coated. Check the exact product name and label if you’re looking for a variety that is both gluten-free and chocolate-coated.
