For a platter on your wedding buffet, ready-made chocolate mini stroopwafels are a practical choice. Daelmans makes a 157 g bag, listed by Albert Heijn and PLUS. If you want to hand out an individual treat to each guest, look for an individually wrapped option, but check availability and the allergen information on the chosen pack before making your plans.
If you want to put out a platter of small chocolate-coated stroopwafels without any preparation, Daelmans’ mini size is well suited to this way of serving. A bag of minis doesn’t mean that each waffle is individually wrapped.
An individually wrapped chocolate caramel waffle is ideal if you want to give guests a treat to enjoy or take away. Check that your chosen option will be available in time before planning how you’ll hand it out.
If you’re serving from an open platter, make sure it’s clear which allergens are in each type of waffle. Keep the current packaging for each variety and check the information again if you’re combining different products.
First decide whether you’ll serve the stroopwafels loose on a platter or hand them out individually. Then check the allergen information and how many you’ll need for the buffet.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Serving on a platter | Check the size and contents of the pack. Albert Heijn and PLUS list Daelmans chocolate mini stroopwafels in a 157 g bag. | I want guests to be able to help themselves to a small waffle from the dessert table; this style of serving is the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Allergen information | Check the current packaging for each variety and keep the information available when serving from an open platter. Daelmans minis list wheat, milk and soya, and may contain nuts. | If I’m serving different waffles, I want to be able to tell guests which allergens are in each variety; this is the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Handing out individually | Check that the waffles are actually individually wrapped and that the quantity you need will be available in time. | I want to give every guest their own wrapped treat rather than serve from an open platter; individual servings are the first choice for around 23% of consumers. |
| Quantity and preparation | Check the pack size and the number of waffles. If you dip regular stroopwafels in chocolate yourself, you’ll also need time to prepare them and space for the chocolate to set. | For a larger buffet, I want to know how many packs or how much preparation time I’ll need; this is the most important consideration for around 15% of consumers. |
A product listing for caramel stroopwafels doesn’t confirm that the waffles are coated in chocolate. Check the description of the exact variety you want to serve.
If you want to decorate them yourself, check the ingredients of the stroopwafels, chocolate and any decorations separately.
Dipping them yourself takes extra ingredients, preparation time and space for the chocolate to set.
Without the packaging, it can be harder to tell which allergens are in each variety when serving from an open platter. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority also says that rules apply to allergen information for food sold without packaging.
Keep the current packaging for each variety or make sure the information is available by the platter.
A listed product isn’t automatically available to order for your wedding date. The Jumbo milk chocolate variety we looked at was no longer in its online range, while the Joybuy listing for Kanjers showed no stock.
Confirm current availability and delivery options before finalising quantities and how you’ll serve them.

If a business or caterer serves unpackaged stroopwafels to consumers, information about the allergens they contain must be available, according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. This can be provided in writing or electronically; verbal information is also permitted under certain conditions. If you’re hosting a private wedding, you can also keep the packaging so guests can check the ingredients for themselves.
Check the allergens for the exact variety you’re serving. The product information for Daelmans chocolate minis lists wheat, milk and soya, and says they may contain nuts. Don’t assume that a different waffle or a chocolate you’ve chosen yourself will have the same ingredients list.
Yes. Jumbo explains how to dip stroopwafels in melted chocolate, then place them on baking paper to let the chocolate set. Make sure you have enough time and space to prepare them, and check the allergens in the chocolate and decorations too.
