Which pack is right for you?

For a coffee break

Want to take a whole stroopwafel with you or set one aside without opening a bag? A regular waffle in its own wrapper is a good fit. Daelmans also sells these individually wrapped waffles in boxes containing several pieces.

For a smaller portion

Looking for a mini stroopwafel to enjoy on the go, or individual little treats for visitors? Check not only the size but also the wrapper. The minis on a Jumbo product page were individually wrapped; Jumbo says this item is no longer available online.

For sharing or stocking up

If you’re eating with someone else or want to keep several waffles at home, a twin pack or larger pack could be suitable. PLUS describes a Daelmans twin pack containing two waffles; with a standard pack, the number of pieces alone doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want one whole waffle per occasion, a smaller mini or several waffles. Then check how many waffles there are per wrapper, and how many wrappers you’re buying.

What to consider What to check when buying Best suited to
One whole waffle Look for ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘x1’, and check how many waffles are in the box. I want to take one whole waffle with me while I’m shopping and leave the other wrappers sealed. For around 42% of consumers, an individual portion is the priority.
A mini portion Check the size or weight of each mini and whether each one has its own wrapper. A small treat suits the occasion better than a whole stroopwafel. Around 33% of consumers prioritise a smaller individual portion like this.
Sharing or keeping some for later Check the number of waffles per wrapper and per pack; a piece count doesn’t confirm that they’re individually wrapped. I’m taking stroopwafels for someone else or want enough at home for several occasions. For around 25% of consumers, sharing or stocking up is the main consideration.

Whichever portion you choose, if you have a relevant allergy, read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging for that specific variety. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients list.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘eight pieces’ means ‘eight individual wrappers’

    The number of stroopwafels in a pack doesn’t tell you how they’re wrapped inside. You could end up opening a pack when you only wanted to take one waffle with you.

    If having an individual wrapper matters to you, check that the pack explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘x1’.

  • Mistaking a twin pack for a single portion

    The Daelmans twin pack described by PLUS contains two stroopwafels in the same wrapper. That’s different from one individually wrapped waffle.

    Choose a twin pack if you want to eat or share both waffles; otherwise, look for confirmation that each waffle is individually wrapped.

  • Guessing the allergens from the brand name

    Ingredients can vary between varieties. The name or an older online description is no substitute for the information on the packaging.

    Check the ingredients list and highlighted allergens for the variety you’ve chosen before eating it.

  • Assuming an old product page means it’s still available

    A product listing doesn’t mean you can order the item now. Jumbo says its individually wrapped mini stroopwafels, 18 × 8 g, are no longer available online.

    Check the latest listing at the shop you plan to buy from shortly before doing your Christmas shopping.

Brands and packaging to consider

Daelmans

Daelmans sells individually wrapped stroopwafels in its own online shop, including regular waffles and minis.

  • The 24x1 description makes it clear that the regular waffles in that box are individually wrapped.
  • A box of individually wrapped waffles isn’t the same as buying a single waffle on its own.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists both regular stroopwafels and mini stroopwafels under its own brand.

  • The mini pack described contained 18 individually wrapped portions of 8 g.
  • Jumbo says this mini product is no longer available online.

Kanjers

For the original eight-piece Kanjers variety, Joybuy describes a pack with two waffles per wrapper.

  • A wrapper containing two waffles could work well if you want to share.
  • This variety isn’t right if you want exactly one waffle in its own wrapper.

Sondey

Lidl lists a Sondey variety made with butter and caramel in a pack of 12 stroopwafels, weighing 480 g in total.

  • The number of pieces and the pack weight are stated.
  • Check the inner packaging if you need individual portions; the piece count doesn’t tell you how they’re wrapped.

Biscotto

ALDI lists Biscotto mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack.

  • It’s an option to consider if you’re looking for mini stroopwafels.
  • Check whether the minis are individually wrapped if you need them to be.

Stroopwafels on Joybuy

If you’re looking for stroopwafels for individual occasions as part of your Christmas shopping, this ten-pack of Kanjers is worth a look. Check the inner packaging before you buy: the product name alone doesn’t tell you how many waffles there are per wrapper.

Kanjers Extra Delicious Stroopwafels, 10 pieces

Kanjers Extra Delicious Stroopwafels, 10 pieces

This ten-pack is worth considering if you want to buy waffles for several occasions. Check the packaging to see whether each waffle has its own wrapper and whether the size suits the portion you’re looking for.

If you have a relevant allergy, always check the ingredients and allergens on the current label.

Frequently asked questions

Is a pack with several stroopwafels suitable if I only want to take one?

Yes, if each waffle is individually wrapped and you want to keep the rest for later. Look for ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘x1’ on the packaging: the total number of waffles alone doesn’t confirm that they have separate wrappers.

Is a twin pack the same as one individually wrapped stroopwafel?

No. The Daelmans twin pack described by PLUS contains two stroopwafels in one wrapper. Choose this pack if you want to eat or share two waffles, not if you need exactly one individually wrapped waffle.

Where can I check the allergens in stroopwafels?

Read the ingredients list and highlighted allergens on the packaging of the variety you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly listed in the ingredients list, so don’t rely on the brand name or an old product page alone.

Can I use an older supermarket listing to plan my Christmas shopping?

It’s best to check the latest listing from the shop you plan to buy from. For example, Jumbo says its individually wrapped mini stroopwafels, 18 × 8 g, are no longer available online.
