Who are these options for?

If you want to serve something quickly

You’re making oliebollen and want to serve a chocolate stroopwafel alongside them without having to melt chocolate or wait for decorations to set.

If you want to share a platter

You’re looking for small stroopwafels to serve alongside oliebollen with coffee, tea or dessert.

If you need to check the ingredients

Before serving, you want to be able to check the packaging for the allergens in your chosen variety and any relevant warnings.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you want to serve the stroopwafels as they are or decorate them yourself. Then consider the size and check the packaging for your guests.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Convenience while baking Check whether the stroopwafel is already coated in chocolate and how many are in the pack. When I’m making oliebollen at the same time, I want something I can serve without having to melt chocolate as well. For around 42% of consumers, convenience is the deciding factor.
Sharing and portion size Compare mini stroopwafels with regular ones and check how many are in each pack. For a platter alongside the oliebollen, I’m looking for small stroopwafels that guests can share—not necessarily one large waffle for everyone. Small portions are the main deciding factor for around 25% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the packaging for your chosen product. Also check the storage instructions. When I’m serving something to guests with a food allergy, I want to know exactly what’s in that variety. Around 33% of consumers prioritise checking ingredients and allergens.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking chocolate with stroopwafel pieces for a chocolate-coated stroopwafel

    Chocolate with pieces of stroopwafel in it isn’t the same as a whole stroopwafel to serve alongside oliebollen.

    If you’re looking for whole stroopwafels with a chocolate coating, read the product name and description carefully.

  • Mistaking a product page for proof that it’s currently available

    The Albert Heijn and Jumbo pages we checked listed some chocolate stroopwafels as discontinued.

    Check the current in-store or delivery range just before buying. If you choose an alternative, compare the size and ingredients again.

  • Assuming the allergens from the brand name

    The varieties we checked list ingredients including milk, wheat, soya or egg. Some also carry warnings about the possible presence of nuts.

    Read the label on the exact pack you’re going to serve, including any ‘may contain’ warnings.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

Albert Heijn lists both a regular four-pack and mini Daelmans stroopwafels with milk chocolate: two sizes to serve as individual treats or on a platter.

  • For both varieties we checked, Albert Heijn lists 29% milk chocolate; the regular pack contains four stroopwafels.
  • The varieties we checked contain wheat, milk and soya, and may contain nuts. Check the label on the pack you choose.

Albert Heijn

The AH own-brand variety we checked was a stroopwafel with milk chocolate, but the product page we consulted listed it as discontinued.

  • The product description makes it clear that this is a stroopwafel with milk chocolate.
  • Check the current range before adding this own-brand variety to your shopping list. If you choose an alternative, check its label again.

Jumbo

Jumbo features chocolate stroopwafels as product examples and also explains how to dip plain stroopwafels in melted chocolate.

  • The decoration method described gives you an option if you want to decide for yourself how to finish the stroopwafels.
  • The pages we consulted listed the own-brand varieties we checked as no longer available online. If you choose another variety, check the current ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose ready-made chocolate stroopwafels or decorate plain ones myself?

Choose ready-made ones if you want to serve something alongside the oliebollen without any extra preparation. Decorate plain stroopwafels if you want to choose the chocolate and finish yourself. Jumbo explains how to dip stroopwafels in melted chocolate and leave them to set.

Which allergens should I check in chocolate stroopwafels?

Always check the label for the exact variety, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. The examples we checked list milk, wheat and soya; some also list egg or the possible presence of nuts or peanuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed on the labels of prepacked foods.

How should I store chocolate stroopwafels until I serve them?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. The Daelmans and Jumbo product information we consulted says to store them in a cool, dry place; Daelmans also advises keeping them away from light.

Is a supermarket product page enough if I’m buying for someone with a food allergy?

Use the product page to compare varieties, but check the label on the actual pack before serving. Albert Heijn warns that ingredients and allergen information may change when products are updated.
