If dark chocolate is the main reason you’re buying stroopwafels, choose a product that explicitly states this type of chocolate in its product information. PLUS says its Daelmans chocolate minis contain milk chocolate, while Coco & Sebas lists a variety with 72% dark chocolate that was shown as out of stock when checked. If you want everything delivered in one supermarket order, a chocolate variety may be a practical alternative, but it won’t suit you if you specifically want dark chocolate.
You’re looking for a stroopwafel with a recognisable dark chocolate coating, not just a product with ‘chocolate’ in its name. Check the type of chocolate and the cocoa percentage listed; Coco & Sebas says its mini stroopwafels contain 72% dark chocolate.
You want to add stroopwafels to a regular online supermarket order. Once you’ve selected your shop, check which variety you can actually order for your delivery address—even if you’re happy to choose milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
You need to know what’s in your chosen variety before you buy. For Daelmans chocolate minis, PLUS lists wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk, and warns that the product may contain nuts. Check the label on the pack you receive too.
When ordering groceries online, the choice comes down to whether you value the taste of dark chocolate more than the convenience of ordering from your usual supermarket. A milk chocolate product won’t meet that first preference, even if it’s easy to add to your basket.
A good choice when: Coco & Sebas lists mini stroopwafels coated in 72% dark chocolate for anyone specifically looking for this type of chocolate.
The trade-off: The variety was listed as out of stock when checked, and it can’t be added to a regular supermarket order.
A good choice when: PLUS offers Daelmans chocolate minis online if you want to add a chocolate variety to your grocery order.
The trade-off: PLUS lists 29% milk chocolate as an ingredient. This percentage doesn’t describe the cocoa content, and the product isn’t a dark chocolate variety.
A good choice when: Classic varieties from Albert Heijn and Jumbo are another option if you don’t need a chocolate coating.
The trade-off: They’re not a substitute for a dark chocolate stroopwafel. Check whether you can add the pack you want to your order at your chosen shop.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Dark or milk chocolate | Look for the explicit term ‘dark chocolate’ and check whether any percentage given refers to the cocoa content or the proportion of chocolate in the product. | If I’m looking for a pronounced dark chocolate flavour, I don’t want to choose a milk chocolate variety instead. This flavour is the top priority for around 42% of shoppers. |
| Adding it to your order | Select your shop or delivery address and check whether the variety you want is available for your order. | I want my stroopwafels delivered with the rest of my groceries, even if the chocolate isn’t dark. That convenience is the deciding factor for around 33% of shoppers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the latest ingredients and allergen information before buying, then compare it with the label when your order arrives. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, clear information about what’s in the product matters more than the chocolate flavour. Around 25% of shoppers put these checks first. |
