Who might be interested in these stroopwafels?

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.

Anyone looking for something small to serve

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.

Supermarket shoppers

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.

What should you look for when choosing?

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. For around 22% of consumers, convenience would be the first consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘chocolate’ means ‘dark chocolate’

    A chocolate variety may contain milk or white chocolate instead. PLUS lists 29% milk chocolate for the Daelmans snack pack; Albert Heijn lists 26% white chocolate for its white chocolate variety.

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

  • Assuming a dark chocolate variety without a percentage has a high cocoa content

    Crumble Stroopwafel lists a variety with dark chocolate and fudge, but you can’t compare its cocoa content directly with the 72% dark chocolate listed by Coco & Sebas.

    If the percentage is decisive, check the packaging or ask the manufacturer.

  • Judging allergens by the product name or photo

    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.

  • Assuming a product page guarantees availability

    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.

Brands to compare

Coco & Sebas

Its product information describes mini stroopwafels with 72% dark chocolate in a 190 g pack.

  • The stated cocoa percentage makes this particular variety easy to compare on the point that matters when choosing a high-cocoa option.
  • Check availability and the packaging; the ingredients information lists wheat, milk and soya.

Crumble Stroopwafel

Its own shop page lists a four-pack of stroopwafels with dark chocolate and fudge.

  • The variety includes dark chocolate and comes in a small pack.
  • Check the cocoa percentage and ingredients on the packaging if these details are important to your choice.

Daelmans

PLUS describes the Daelmans Stroopwafels Chocolate snack pack as a variety containing 29% milk chocolate.

  • The product information states the type of chocolate and lists allergens.
  • This snack pack is not a dark chocolate variety. According to PLUS, it contains wheat, soya and milk, and may contain nuts.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn describes a stroopwafel variety containing 26% white chocolate.

  • The stated type of chocolate helps distinguish this variety from dark chocolate options.
  • White chocolate won’t suit you if you’re looking for dark chocolate. Always check the packaging for any other variety.

ALDI

ALDI describes a pack of 12 classic stroopwafels with a net weight of 378 g.

  • The number of pieces and pack weight are stated for anyone looking for a classic stroopwafel.
  • The caramel stroopwafel described doesn’t confirm a dark chocolate coating, so don’t choose it based solely on a preference for high cocoa content.

Frequently asked questions

How can I identify a stroopwafel with a high cocoa content?

Look for both dark chocolate and a stated cocoa percentage for that chocolate. Coco & Sebas lists 72% dark chocolate for its mini stroopwafels; if the packaging only says ‘dark chocolate’, you’ll need to check the percentage separately.

Are all chocolate stroopwafels dark?

No. PLUS lists milk chocolate for the Daelmans snack pack, while Albert Heijn describes a variety with white chocolate. If you’re specifically looking for dark chocolate, check the type stated on the packaging.

Which allergens should I check in chocolate stroopwafels?

Always check the allergens on the packaging of the variety you’ve chosen. For the Daelmans snack pack, PLUS lists wheat, soya and milk, and warns that the product may contain nuts. Don’t assume the same information applies to other stroopwafels.

How should I store chocolate stroopwafels until tea time?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging of your stroopwafels. After opening, check whether it gives any advice on resealing or storing the pack.
