Tea drinkers who care about cocoa content
You want a stroopwafel with dark chocolate and prefer to compare a specific cocoa percentage rather than relying on the word ‘chocolate’ alone.
Choose a stroopwafel that states its cocoa percentage if a high cocoa content matters to you when enjoying tea. Coco & Sebas lists 72% dark chocolate for its mini stroopwafels; you can’t compare this in the same way with a variety that only says ‘dark chocolate’. Check the current packaging for allergens and availability before you choose.
You want a stroopwafel with dark chocolate and prefer to compare a specific cocoa percentage rather than relying on the word ‘chocolate’ alone.
You’re after mini stroopwafels or a small pack to serve with tea. Size matters, but it doesn’t tell you anything about the cocoa content on its own.
You want to pick up stroopwafels as part of your regular shop. It’s important not to treat milk, white and dark chocolate varieties as if they were the same.
First, check what type of chocolate the stroopwafel contains and whether its cocoa percentage is stated. Then choose a size that suits your tea break and read the current packaging.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Cocoa content | Look for dark chocolate and a percentage. Check whether the percentage refers to the chocolate, not the entire stroopwafel. | If I want chocolate with a high cocoa content to go with my tea, I need a percentage to compare varieties. This would be the main purchasing consideration for around 45% of consumers. |
| Size and presentation | Check the size, net weight, number of pieces and current availability. | When I have guests, I want to serve stroopwafels in a size that suits the occasion. This would be the priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Convenience when shopping | Read which type of chocolate is listed on the packaging and check that the product information is up to date. | I want to pick up a stroopwafel during my regular shop, but I don’t want to mistake milk or white chocolate for dark chocolate.

Check the type of chocolate on the packaging. If dark chocolate is a must, the word ‘chocolate’ on its own isn’t enough.

If the percentage is decisive, check the packaging or ask the manufacturer.
Chocolate stroopwafels may contain ingredients that are important to you. For the Daelmans snack pack, PLUS lists wheat, soya and milk, and warns that the product may contain nuts.
Before eating, read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the current packaging, especially if you need to avoid an allergen.
A variety shown on a product page may not be available when you’re ready to order. And a different type of chocolate isn’t automatically a suitable alternative if you’re specifically looking for dark chocolate.
Check availability just before buying. If you choose an alternative, check the type of chocolate and packaging details again.
