Who is this important for?

Festival-goers taking individual snacks

If you want to split the waffles between several bags or people, individual wrapping is handy. Albert Heijn explicitly says that Kanjers Chocowafels are individually wrapped.

Campers with limited cool storage space

Where you store chocolate stroopwafels matters. The product labels we checked say to store them in a cool, dry place, so before you set off, make sure you have somewhere suitable to keep them.

Shoppers checking allergens

Compare the ingredients on the exact pack. The varieties we checked list wheat or gluten, milk and soya; the Daelmans variety also carries a warning that it may contain nuts.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start by thinking about how you’ll carry and store the waffles. The chocolate percentage alone doesn’t tell you whether a waffle will be suitable for a warm bag or tent.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Taking portions with you Check whether the waffles are individually wrapped and how many are in the pack. If you want to hand out waffles on the go without opening a shared pack each time, portioning is your first consideration. This is the top priority for around 42% of consumers.
Storage Read the storage instructions and check whether you can keep the waffles somewhere cool and dry, and away from light where specified. If you can’t find a suitable spot away from the sun at the campsite, storage conditions will determine your choice. This is the main concern for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you’re buying. If you need to avoid certain ingredients, you’ll want to check the exact variety before eating it. Around 25% of consumers put this check first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming four waffles means four individual packs

    Albert Heijn describes Kanjers Chocowafels as individually wrapped. The number of waffles in the Daelmans 4-pack doesn’t, by itself, tell you whether they’re individually wrapped.

    Look for an explicit statement that each waffle is individually wrapped if you want to hand them out separately.

  • Using the chocolate percentage to judge storage suitability

    The varieties we checked have different chocolate percentages, but that doesn’t tell you how they’ll fare in a warm tent. The product labels say to store them in a cool, dry place.

    First find a suitable place to store them, then compare the chocolate percentages as a product difference.

  • Relying on an old product listing

    Product pages we checked from Albert Heijn and Jumbo said that certain chocolate varieties were no longer part of their range. A page like that doesn’t confirm that you can buy the variety now.

    Check the current range shortly before you set off, and read the packaging again if you choose an alternative.

  • Guessing allergens from the brand name or photo

    The varieties we checked list wheat or gluten, milk and soya. The Daelmans variety also carries a warning that it may contain nuts.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re actually taking with you.
