Planning a small brunch
If you want to serve each guest a large waffle with their coffee or tea, check how many are in each pack. According to Albert Heijn, the Daelmans milk chocolate pack contains four stroopwafels.
Which size is right for you?
Planning a self-serve platter
If you’d like guests to help themselves to a smaller waffle, mini stroopwafels are another way to serve them. PLUS lists Daelmans chocolate stroopwafel minis in a 157 g bag; check the pack to work out how many bags you’ll need.
Planning with allergies in mind
Ask guests in advance which ingredients they need to avoid, and check the exact pack you’ll be serving. The Daelmans varieties described contain milk, wheat, cereals containing gluten and soya, and carry a warning that they may contain nuts.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how you want to serve the waffles. Then compare the chocolate coating and check the nutritional information and allergens on the pack you’re buying.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Size and portions | Check the number of waffles, their size and whether they’re individually wrapped. | For a small brunch, I want to know whether each guest gets their own waffle or helps themselves to minis from a platter. Around 40% of consumers prioritise how the waffles are served. |
| Chocolate coating | Check what type of chocolate is used and compare the stated chocolate percentage for the specific variety. | If the chocolate coating is why I’m choosing these stroopwafels, I want to know exactly what’s on them. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this product feature. |
| Allergens and nutritional information | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values per 100 g; check the per-portion figures too, if provided. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to check the pack before serving anything. Allergens and nutritional information are the top concern for around 30% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a plain stroopwafel for a chocolate variety
A stroopwafel without a chocolate coating won’t meet your needs if you want to serve chocolate-covered waffles. A different chocolate product containing pieces of stroopwafel isn’t the same thing either.
Read the product description and ingredients list for the exact variety rather than relying on the picture alone.
-
Using an old product page to plan your brunch
Albert Heijn marks the own-brand variety described as discontinued; Jumbo says its milk chocolate variety described here is no longer in its online range. Product details on these pages therefore don’t confirm that you can order those waffles.
Before you buy, check whether the variety you want is actually available to order, or ask about stock in store.
-
Checking only the type of chocolate if guests have allergies
The Daelmans varieties described also contain wheat, cereals containing gluten and soya, and may contain nuts. The Jumbo variety described also lists egg.
Ask guests about any relevant allergies and read both the ingredients and the warnings on the pack you’ll be serving.

Frequently asked questions
Can I serve chocolate-covered stroopwafels to guests with a milk, wheat or soya allergy?
First, check the exact variety: the Daelmans chocolate varieties described contain milk, wheat, cereals containing gluten and soya, and may contain nuts. Ask guests which allergens they need to avoid and read the packaging of the product you’ll actually be serving.
How should I store chocolate-covered stroopwafels until the Easter brunch?
Follow the storage advice on the pack for your chosen variety. For the Daelmans products described, PLUS recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place.
Should I compare mini and large waffles per 100 g or per portion?
Use the nutritional values per 100 g to compare varieties on the same basis, then check what one portion means for the size you’ve chosen. The product information lists 462 kcal and 42 g of sugars per 100 g for the Daelmans four-pack, and 469 kcal and 41 g of sugars per 100 g for the Daelmans minis described here. These figures alone don’t tell you how much a guest will eat of either size.
Can I use an older product page to plan my brunch shopping?
Use an older product page only to identify the variety described or compare its features. Albert Heijn marks its own-brand variety described here as discontinued, and Jumbo says its milk chocolate variety described here is no longer in its online range. Check current availability to order or in-store stock before relying on it.
