Looking for stroopwafels with dark chocolate or a pronounced cocoa flavour for your move? Don’t rely on the word ‘chocolate’ alone: check how the chocolate is described and, if the cocoa content matters to you, look for a stated percentage. PLUS’s product information lists Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade as containing 29% milk chocolate; the cocoa percentages shown by Albert Heijn for individual Delicata bars don’t apply to a stroopwafel. When stocking up, also check the pack size, portions and allergens for the product you choose.
You specifically want dark chocolate with your stroopwafel, not just any chocolate-coated waffle. PLUS’s product information lists Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade as containing milk chocolate, so the way the chocolate is described matters.
You want stroopwafels to keep and share after moving in. Compare the pack size with the number of pieces, and consider whether you’d prefer a larger pack or individually portioned snacks.
You only choose once you’ve read the information for the specific variety. According to PLUS, Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade contains wheat, milk and soya, and may contain nuts; another stroopwafel may have different ingredients.
Start by checking how the chocolate is described: ‘chocolate’ on its own doesn’t tell you whether it’s dark or milk chocolate. Then choose a pack that suits your stash, and read the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you’ve picked.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Dark chocolate flavour | Check whether the chocolate is described as dark and whether a cocoa percentage is stated, if you want to choose based on this. | If I’m specifically looking for a stroopwafel with dark chocolate, I don’t want to mistake a milk chocolate variety for one. This flavour preference comes first for around 42% of consumers. |
| Pack size and portions | Compare the net weight and the number of pieces or individual portions. | For a shared stash after moving in, I want to know how many stroopwafels I’ll open at once and be able to hand out. This is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and any ‘may contain’ statements for the variety you’ve chosen. | If ingredients or dietary requirements determine my choice, I check the label on that exact pack. Around 33% of consumers say this is their top priority. |
A chocolate variety doesn’t necessarily have the dark flavour you’re looking for. According to PLUS’s product information, Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade contains 29% milk chocolate.
Read the chocolate description and check any stated cocoa percentage if it’s an important factor in your choice. The percentage on an individual chocolate bar tells you nothing about the chocolate in a stroopwafel.
Ingredients vary from product to product. PLUS’s information lists wheat, milk and soya for Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade, with a possible nut warning; Jumbo also offers a separate gluten-free stroopwafel.
For every variety you choose, read the current ingredients list and any warnings on the pack. Don’t assume one stroopwafel has the same qualities as another.
These brands give you a starting point for comparing stroopwafels and chocolate varieties. Check each product to see whether the chocolate and pack meet your needs.

No, that description alone doesn’t tell you whether the chocolate is dark. According to PLUS, Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade contains 29% milk chocolate. Check the chocolate description for the stroopwafel you want to buy and, if it matters to you, look for a stated cocoa percentage.
Check the ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ warnings for the specific product. PLUS lists wheat, milk and soya for Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade, and warns that the product may contain nuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be clearly listed on food labels.
Don’t assume they are without checking the pack you’ve chosen. Jumbo lists a stroopwafel specifically labelled gluten-free; that label doesn’t automatically apply to other stroopwafels. Read the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you buy.
Follow the storage advice on the pack of your stroopwafels. For Daelmans Mini’s Chocolade, PLUS recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place. Advice may differ for another variety.
