If you want to share small bites on the patio, look for mini Dutch syrup waffles. If you’d like to give everyone a whole waffle, a pack with a clearly stated number of waffles is more practical. A duo pack could work for a lunchbox, but check that the waffles really are individually wrapped in pairs. Whatever the size, compare the net weight and label, and think about how you’ll store any waffles left after opening.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
PLUS lists a bag of 10 Daelmans Dutch syrup waffles, as well as a separate product called Duopack.
The AH Dutch syrup waffles on the product page contain 8 portions in a 310 g pack.
Jumbo lists its butter-rich Dutch syrup waffles in a 468 g pack containing 12 portions.
Lidl lists 12 Sondey butter-rich Dutch syrup waffles weighing 480 g, alongside mini Dutch syrup waffles at around 37 pieces and 316 g.
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.
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.
These two Kanjers multipacks contain 8 and 10 Dutch syrup waffles respectively. That means you can choose the number of whole waffles to suit a small group or several occasions. Check how they’re packaged if you want to take them individually.

A pack of 8 could be a good fit if you want to serve whole Dutch syrup waffles to a small group. Check the packaging to see how the waffles are wrapped if you’d like to take portions with you, and read the current label if you have an allergy.

With 10 waffles, you can plan on one whole waffle per person or spread the pack over several coffee breaks. Check the net weight to compare the total contents, and read the current label if you have an allergy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
