The right size for different needs

Sharing with a larger group

If you’re putting Dutch syrup waffles on a plate or handing them out to a group, it helps to know the number of waffles or portions in the pack. PLUS lists 25 Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel, while Lidl lists approximately 37 Sondey mini butter Dutch syrup waffles.

Taking portions with you

For lunchboxes or handing out individual portions, the way the pack is divided matters more than the total weight alone. Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels in a pack containing four individually wrapped pairs.

Checking labels carefully

If you’re sharing Dutch syrup waffles with others, check the allergen and nutritional information for the exact variety. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the importance of allergen information on food labels; ingredients can vary between varieties.

What to look for when choosing

First decide whether you’ll be sharing from one pack or handing out sealed portions. Then check the number of waffles, how they’re packed and the label on the variety you’ve chosen.

What to considerWhat to checkWho it matters to
Enough waffles to share Count the stated number of waffles or portions and make sure it’s enough for your group. If I’m putting out one plate for a larger group, I want to know in advance how many waffles I can share. For around 36% of consumers, this is the top priority.
Taking them in lunchboxes Check whether the portions are individually sealed; a bag of mini waffles isn’t automatically a pack of individual portions. For lunchboxes, I want to be able to prepare portions without opening a large pack each time. This convenience is the main priority for around 29% of consumers.
Stocking up for a small gathering Compare the total weight with the stated number of portions, and check how to store the pack once it’s open. When we eat Dutch syrup waffles together at home, I don’t need individual takeaway packs. A suitable pack to keep in the cupboard is most important to around 21% of consumers.
Allergens and nutritional information Read the current label for the exact variety, including allergen details and nutritional values per portion. When I share Dutch syrup waffles with others, I need to be able to check what’s in the variety I’ve chosen. For around 14% of consumers, checking the label is the first priority.

Common mistakes

  • Looking only at the total weight

    A bag of mini Dutch syrup waffles, a large pack and a pack of individually wrapped pairs aren’t equally easy to share. The weight alone won’t tell you how many individual portions you can hand out.

    First decide whether you want to share from one pack or hand out sealed portions. Then compare the stated number of waffles or portions.

  • Assuming all varieties have the same allergens

    Wheat, milk and soya are among the allergens listed for the standard Dutch syrup waffles examined. The allergens that apply depend on the exact product.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack before buying and before handing out the waffles.

  • Relying on a pack size you’ve seen before

    The twin or large pack you want may no longer be available. Albert Heijn listed the Daelmans jumbo twin pack as no longer in its range.

    Before buying for a group, check whether the size you want is available and whether the pack format still suits your plans.

Frequently asked questions

How many Dutch syrup waffles do I need to share on King’s Day?

Start with the number of people you want to share them with, then check the number of waffles or portions on the pack. For example, PLUS lists 25 Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel, while Jumbo lists 12 portions in its 468 g pack of butter Dutch syrup waffles.

Are mini Dutch syrup waffles handy for lunchboxes?

Mini Dutch syrup waffles are handy if you want to measure out a small amount yourself, but a bag of minis doesn’t automatically give you individually sealed portions. If you want to pack portions in advance, check how the waffles are packaged. For example, Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels in a pack of four pairs.

Which allergens should I check in Dutch syrup waffles?

Always check the label for the exact variety. Standard Dutch syrup waffles examined list allergens including wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. Also look for any other allergens and warnings about possible traces. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the importance of allergen information on food labels.

How do I compare portion sizes and sugar in different packs?

Compare the nutritional information per portion on the packs you’re considering, and check the weight of each portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 14,7 g of sugars for an extra-large 40 g Dutch syrup waffle; this figure won’t necessarily apply to a mini waffle or another variety.
