Choose a pack with one individually wrapped syrup waffle per portion if you want guests to be able to help themselves to one. If two waffles per serving works better, consider a twin pack; for a more relaxed sharing platter, regular or mini syrup waffles are another option, with no fixed, individually wrapped portion for each guest. If anyone has dietary requirements or allergies, always check the label on the pack you’re serving.
If guests are arriving at different times, individually wrapped portions make it easy to hand them out. Jumbo lists a Daelmans pack of 36 × 1 piece. The name AH Stroopwafel voor onderweg suggests a snack for one occasion, but check the pack to see exactly how it’s wrapped.
If you’d like to put syrup waffles on a platter, compare regular waffles and mini syrup waffles for size and quantity. Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI list different pack formats. Once you’ve opened a pack, you can let guests help themselves.
Check the ingredients, allergen information and any cross-contamination warnings on the pack of the variant you’ve chosen. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be clearly listed on the labels of prepacked foods. Keep the pack handy so guests can check what they can eat.
First decide whether you want to offer one individually wrapped waffle, a portion of two, or a platter for guests to help themselves to. Then compare the number of portions and, if guests have specific dietary requirements, check the label on the variant you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| One individually wrapped waffle | Count the individually wrapped portions, not just the waffles. A pack of 36 × 1 piece has a different portion breakdown from 4 × 2 pieces. | If guests arrive at different times, I want everyone to be able to take one individually wrapped waffle. This is the main priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Quantity for a platter | Compare the number of pieces and their size. If you’re using an opened bag, make sure you have a platter and tongs or a serving spoon. | For a larger, informal group, I want to be able to put out regular waffles or minis without portioning them in advance. This is the main priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Dietary requirements and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen labelling and any cross-contamination warnings on the current pack of the exact variant you’ve chosen. | If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in these syrup waffles before serving them. Around 25% of consumers give this check their highest priority. |
Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels in a pack of 4 × 2 pieces contain two waffles in each individually wrapped portion. That matters if you want to hand out one individually wrapped waffle per guest.
Before choosing a pack, count both the total number of waffles and the number of individually wrapped portions.
Albert Heijn warns that ingredients and allergen information, among other details, can change. This means the information on a product page may not match the pack you’re serving.
Check the current label and keep the original pack available for guests.
Mini waffles are a good fit for a platter of small bites, but an opened bag doesn’t automatically give you one measured, individually wrapped portion per person.
Choose minis for guests to help themselves to, and individually wrapped portions if you want to hand them out to each guest in advance.
A product name that includes ‘gluten-free’ or ‘plant-based’ doesn’t tell you what other ingredients or warnings appear on the specific pack.
Ask what information the guest needs, then check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on that pack.
