Which size suits you?

First, decide how you want to serve or take the waffles with you. The same pack might be handy at home, but work differently on a patio table or in a lunchbox.

For sharing around a small patio table

If you want to give everyone a whole Dutch syrup waffle, a clearly stated number of waffles makes planning easier. For smaller bites to share, try mini waffles. Product pages from retailers including Albert Heijn, Lidl and PLUS show just how much sizes can vary.

For lunchboxes and eating on the go

You want to take a portion with you without having to pack the whole multipack each time. PLUS sells a Daelmans product labelled Duopack; check the packaging to see how many individual portions you actually get.

For several coffee breaks at home

If you’ll spread a pack over several occasions, both the number of waffles and the net weight matter. Compare the contents and choose a size that you can store properly once opened.

What should you look for?

First, choose between small bites to share, whole waffles and a portion to take with you. Then check the quantity and the label for the variant you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Portions to share Decide whether you want minis or one whole waffle per person; compare the number of waffles and the net weight. If several people want something with their coffee, I want to know in advance whether there are enough suitable portions. Around 36% of consumers say sharing is their top priority.
Easy to take with you Check how many portions are individually wrapped and how you can reseal the rest of the pack. For a lunchbox, I want to take a measured portion and leave the rest at home. For around 29% of consumers, convenience on the go comes first.
Quantity for home Compare the number of waffles and the net weight; think about how many you’ll eat over several occasions. When buying for several coffee breaks, I want a pack that suits how much we’ll get through. For around 21% of consumers, quantity is the main consideration.
Label and portion size Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant; compare the nutritional values per 100 g and per portion. If I need to consider ingredients or portion size, I check the label before choosing a pack. Around 14% of consumers make this their top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Comparing only the number of waffles

    Two packs with twelve waffles each can have different net weights. For example, ALDI lists one pack of twelve at 378 g and another twelve-waffle variant at 480 g.

    Compare the number of waffles and the net weight together, and choose a quantity that suits the number of people or coffee breaks you have in mind.

  • Assuming ‘Duopack’ means individually wrapped portions to take with you

    The name doesn’t tell you how many separate wrappers are inside the outer pack. That matters if you’re buying for several lunchboxes.

    Before relying on it for this purpose, check how many portions are individually wrapped.

  • Not sealing an opened pack properly

    There may be waffles left in a large pack after a patio get-together. According to the Voedingscentrum, Dutch syrup waffles should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place and sealed well.

    Seal the pack after use, and consider a smaller size if you expect the rest to last a while.

  • Using the label for a different variant

    Ingredients and allergens can vary between Dutch syrup waffles. For example, the Kanjers variant listed by Jumbo contains egg, milk, cereals containing gluten and soya, and carries a warning about possible nuts.

    If you have an allergy or intolerance to consider, read the current label for the exact variant you plan to serve.

Brands compared

These examples show the types of packaging you can compare. Each size mentioned applies to the specific product variant, not to the brand as a whole.

Daelmans

PLUS lists a bag of 10 Daelmans Dutch syrup waffles, as well as a separate product called Duopack.

  • The bag of 10 is easy to compare with other packs of whole waffles.
  • For the Duopack, check how many portions are individually wrapped.

Albert Heijn

The AH Dutch syrup waffles on the product page contain 8 portions in a 310 g pack.

  • Eight portions make it clear how many whole waffles you’ll have for a small group.
  • Check the current label for this variant for ingredients and allergen information.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists its butter-rich Dutch syrup waffles in a 468 g pack containing 12 portions.

  • The stated number of portions helps you plan for several coffee breaks.
  • Compare the weight too if you’re weighing this pack against another pack of twelve.

Sondey (Lidl)

Lidl lists 12 Sondey butter-rich Dutch syrup waffles weighing 480 g, alongside mini Dutch syrup waffles at around 37 pieces and 316 g.

  • You can compare whole waffles and small bites to share by number and weight.
  • Check which size you want: lots of minis aren’t the same as the same number of whole waffles.

ALDI / Heerlijck Banket

ALDI lists a pack of 12 Dutch syrup waffles weighing 378 g, and a Heerlijck Banket butter-rich variant with 12 waffles weighing 480 g.

  • The two packs of twelve show why net weight matters.
  • Check which variant you’re choosing before comparing its contents or ingredients.

PLUS

PLUS lists several own-brand options, including a bag of 10 caramel Dutch syrup waffles and a bag of 10 butter and honey Dutch syrup waffles.

  • With the same number of waffles, you can compare your chosen variants and their labels directly.
  • Don’t assume that different flavours have the same ingredients or allergens.

Frequently asked questions

How many Dutch syrup waffles do I need for a patio get-together?

First, count how many people want a whole waffle and whether anyone would prefer smaller bites. For example, Albert Heijn lists 8 portions, while PLUS offers bags of 10 and Lidl lists a mini pack of around 37. Check the net weight as well as the number of waffles.

Should I choose minis or a duo pack for a lunchbox?

Minis are a good choice if you want to put together a small portion yourself. A duo pack is especially handy if the waffles are actually wrapped separately in pairs. Check the number of individual portions on the pack, and seal any waffles left at home properly.

How should I store an opened pack of Dutch syrup waffles?

Store the pack in a cool, dry, dark place and seal it well, as the Voedingscentrum recommends. Choose a quantity that suits how often you’ll want one, so a large pack isn’t left open for too long.

Should I check the allergens for each variant when buying for guests?

Yes. If a guest has an allergy or intolerance to consider, read the current label for the exact variant. The Kanjers Dutch syrup waffles listed by Jumbo contain egg, milk, cereals containing gluten and soya, among other ingredients, and may contain nuts. Don’t assume the same information applies to another product.

Can I compare the nutritional values of Dutch syrup waffles per piece?

Yes, as long as you check the weight of the portion too. The Voedingscentrum gives the figures for one extra-large Dutch syrup waffle weighing 40 g as 189 kcal and 14,7 g of sugars. Don’t use these as standard nutritional values for every mini or waffle. Check the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion for the pack you choose.
