Which size is right for you?

The mindful TV snacker

Wants to decide in advance how many stroopwafels to put out. A portion of minis is easy to share, while an individually wrapped waffle offers another way to keep snack time in check.

The chocolate lover

Wants the chocolate coating to play a prominent part, so compares the stated chocolate content of the different variants.

The label reader

Checks the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for the exact variant they plan to buy, including any warnings about nuts.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to share or set out one waffle per person. Then check the chocolate coating, the label and current availability.

What to consider What to check Who is it important to?
Portions and sharing Check the number of pieces and the stated serving size. For Daelmans Minis, Albert Heijn lists a serving as three minis. If I’m sharing snacks with others, I want to decide how many minis to put out; this shareable format is a priority for around 31% of consumers.
Chocolate coating Compare the stated milk chocolate content of the variant you’re considering; the percentage doesn’t tell you how much you’ll enjoy it. I want chocolate to be a prominent part of my stroopwafel. This is a priority for around 25% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the current allergen information, any warnings, and the nutritional values per 100 g and per serving. If I have an allergy or a question about nutritional values, I want to know what’s in this exact variant; checking the label is a priority for around 25% of consumers.
Availability Check that the variant you’ve chosen is available to order and that the format on offer matches the label you want to check. I don’t want to count on a variant I can’t order for my night in front of the telly; current availability is a priority for around 19% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means different nutritional values per 100 g

    A smaller piece doesn’t change the nutritional values per 100 g. How many minis you have also affects how much you eat.

    Set aside the amount you want to eat or share in advance, rather than putting the whole bag on the table.

  • Mistaking a product page for a current option to order

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo say that some chocolate-coated stroopwafels are no longer in their ranges. So, product information on a page doesn’t mean you can order that same variant.

    Check availability when you place your order and read the label of the variant you actually choose.

  • Looking only at the chocolate content

    The chocolate percentage doesn’t tell you how many pieces you’ll get or what the ingredients and nutritional values are.

    As well as comparing the chocolate coating, check the serving size, ingredients and nutritional information on the packaging in question.

  • Ignoring a warning that the product may contain nuts

    The Daelmans variants reviewed state that they may contain nuts. This is important information if you have a nut allergy, even if nuts aren’t mentioned in the product name.

    If you have an allergy, check the allergen information and warnings on the current packaging of the exact variant you’ve chosen.
