For anyone who wants to give each guest one biscuit
If every guest needs to be able to take one individually wrapped treat, the packaging per waffle is key. Jumbo says its Mini Stroopwafeltjes are individually wrapped.
Which pack is right for you?
For hosts who want to hand out twin portions
If you want to give each guest or household two waffles, consider Daelmans Jumbo Duo, 18 x 2 pieces, or the Kanjers pack of 4 x 2 pieces. Neither offers a separate wrapper for each waffle.
For organisers who need to check allergens
If guests avoid certain ingredients, read the label on the pack you receive before handing it out. Listed allergens vary by product; the Kanjers pack of 4 x 2 pieces also mentions possible traces of nuts.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether one individually wrapped waffle per guest is essential. Then count the portions and check the allergens on the pack you’ll actually be handing out.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| One wrapper per waffle | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ and check how many waffles are actually in each wrapper. A pack marked 4 x 2 is different from four individually wrapped waffles. | I want to give every guest one unopened biscuit without opening a twin pack. For around 50% of consumers, individual wrapping is the top priority. |
| Allergen information | Check the ingredients, listed allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the pack you receive. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in the stroopwafels I’m handing out. This check is the main priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Number of portions | Compare the number of guests with the stated number of waffles and how they’re divided between wrappers or bags; don’t rely on the total weight alone. | I want to have enough treats ready without counting twin portions as individual waffles. Portion planning matters most to around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Confusing the number of waffles with the number of wrappers
With 4 x 2 or 18 x 2, each portion contains two stroopwafels. That won’t work if every guest needs exactly one unopened biscuit.
Check how many waffles are in each wrapper. If individual wrapping is essential, choose a pack that explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’.
-
Relying on allergen information from a previous purchase
Ingredients or product information can change. The Kanjers pack of 4 x 2 pieces lists egg, milk, soya and wheat, among other ingredients, and also mentions possible traces of nuts.
Check the ingredients and warnings on the pack you receive before handing it out. Don’t say a product is suitable for someone with an allergy without checking first.
-
Assuming a stand-up pouch contains individually wrapped waffles
The Daelmans stand-up pouch of 25 mini stroopwafels is a pack for you to portion out yourself; it doesn’t confirm that each waffle has its own wrapper.
Choose a pouch only if portioning the waffles yourself suits your plans. Otherwise, look for an explicit statement that they’re individually wrapped.
A guide to the brands
Jumbo
Jumbo Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, are an option if you want to give each guest one mini waffle.
- Jumbo lists 18 portions and describes the waffles as individually wrapped.
- These are mini stroopwafels weighing 8 g per portion; also check the current allergen information on the pack.
Daelmans
Packaging varies by Daelmans product: Albert Heijn describes Jumbo Duo as 18 x 2 pieces, while PLUS lists a stand-up pouch containing 25 mini stroopwafels.
- These quantities help you plan twin portions or mini waffles to portion out yourself.
- Neither the Jumbo Duo nor the stand-up pouch listing confirms that each waffle has its own wrapper.
Kanjers
Jumbo lists Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels in a pack of 4 x 2 pieces.
- The twin portions are clearly stated, making them handy if you want to give out two waffles at a time.
- This pack doesn’t meet the requirement of one wrapper per waffle. The product lists several allergens and possible traces of nuts.

Frequently asked questions
Does 4 x 2 mean that each stroopwafel is individually wrapped?
No. For Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels, 4 x 2 pieces means four twin portions. Daelmans Jumbo Duo, 18 x 2 pieces, is also packed in pairs. Choose one of these packs only if two waffles per wrapper suit your plans.
Which mini stroopwafels can I hand out individually?
Jumbo explicitly describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, as individually wrapped. You can compare the stated 18 portions with the number of guests; also check the label on the pack you receive before the party.
What should I check if guests need to avoid allergens?
Read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings about possible traces on the pack you’re going to hand out. Ondernemersplein says allergens must be listed on food labels; don’t rely on the product name or a previous purchase alone.
Is the information on a supermarket website enough?
Use the website to compare packaging, but also check the pack you receive for ingredients and allergens. Albert Heijn warns that product information can change and recommends checking the packaging.
