Choose mini stroopwafels for afternoon coffee according to the portion you want to serve: you can count out individual mini waffles yourself, while individually wrapped ones are handy for sharing in advance. Also check the weight per waffle or the portion stated on the label, along with the nutritional information and ingredients. ‘Mini’ on its own tells you nothing about the amount you’ve chosen.
A stated weight per mini makes it easier to choose how many to serve each person. Albert Heijn lists a portion of 8 g for AH Mini stroopwafels; Daelmans lists a portion of four minis, weighing 32 g in total.
Individually wrapped biscuits can be practical when you have visitors, are hosting a group coffee get-together or need something to take along. Jumbo describes a pack containing 18 individually wrapped mini stroopwafels, each weighing 8 g.
If someone needs to avoid certain ingredients, the current label matters more than the mini size. According to their product information, the AH Mini and Daelmans minis described here contain, among other things, wheat, milk and soya.
First decide how many minis you want to serve. Then choose between counting them out of a bag yourself or handing them out individually, and check the nutritional information and ingredients for the variety you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing a portion | Compare the weight of each mini with the number in the stated portion; AH Mini lists 8 g per portion, while Daelmans lists four minis per 32 g. | If I want to serve one small treat, I decide how many before making the coffee. For around 50% of consumers at this coffee occasion, choosing the portion in advance comes first. |
| Sharing and storage | Check whether the minis are loose in a resealable bag or individually wrapped, and check how many there are. | When I’m serving coffee to a group, I want to be able to hand out biscuits easily, one per person. This is the main priority for roughly 30% of these consumers. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the current ingredients and allergen information; compare the sugars and salt per 100 g and per portion you plan to serve. | If someone needs to avoid certain ingredients or is keeping an eye on nutritional values, I check the chosen variety before serving. For around 20% of these consumers, this check is the top priority. |
The number you eat matters, even with small biscuits. Based on the values per 100 g listed by Albert Heijn, one 8 g AH Mini contains about 37 kcal and 2.5 g of sugars.
Set out the agreed number for each person instead of putting the whole bag on the table.
The same size doesn’t mean the same nutritional values. Albert Heijn lists 1.25 g of salt per 100 g for its caramel and sea salt mini, compared with 0.65 g per 100 g for the regular AH Mini.
Compare the nutritional information for the specific flavour per 100 g and for the portion you plan to serve.
The product information for the AH Mini and Daelmans minis described here lists wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients. The ingredients on the pack you buy determine what you serve.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information, especially if someone needs to avoid certain ingredients.
Daelmans lists four mini stroopwafels as one 32 g portion. That isn’t the weight of a single mini.
Use the labelled portion to compare nutritional values, but decide separately how many to put on the table.
AH offers regular mini stroopwafels in a resealable bag, as well as a caramel and sea salt variety.
Daelmans makes mini stroopwafels with a stated portion of four, weighing 32 g in total.
Jumbo describes both mini stroopwafels made with butter in a 300 g pack and mini stroopwafels in packs of 18 x 8 g.
Lidl lists Sondey mini butter stroopwafels.
ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack.
Not without checking the weight and the number of biscuits. Albert Heijn lists 8 g per portion for AH Mini, while Daelmans lists four minis together as a 32 g portion. So decide for yourself how many to serve with coffee.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack. According to their product information, the AH Mini and Daelmans minis described here contain wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients. Don’t rely on the product name alone or on a label you read previously.
Follow the instructions on the pack for the product you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn advises keeping AH Mini in a cool, dark and dry place, and putting the biscuits in a sealed tin once opened. Other varieties may have different instructions.
