Who are mini stroopwafels useful for?

Christmas host serving a platter or dessert buffet

You want to serve small stroopwafels with coffee, tea or dessert. Check how many portions the bag contains and how to store the rest after opening.

Organiser handing out treats to guests

You’re looking for a treat guests can take away with them. Check whether the wafers are actually individually wrapped: a bag of minis doesn’t automatically contain separate, sealed portions.

Buyer who needs to check allergens in advance

You’re buying for a group that includes someone who needs to avoid certain ingredients. Compare the information for each product you choose, and keep the current packaging to hand when you serve the stroopwafels.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether guests will help themselves from a platter or each have their own portion. Then compare the quantity in each pack and check the allergens in the variety you plan to serve.

What to consider What to check Especially relevant if
Portions and size Compare the grams per portion and the stated number of portions. Albert Heijn lists 37 portions of 8 g for its 300 g bag. If I want to give every guest a small portion, I need to know how many portions I can get from the bag. Portion planning would be the first consideration for around 33% of consumers.
How you’ll serve them For individual treats, look for the words ‘individually wrapped’; for a platter, check that the bag can be resealed. If I want guests to take a wafer away with them, an individual wrapper is what makes the difference for me compared with a sharing bag. Packaging type would come first for around 25% of consumers.
Quantity for your group Compare the total weight with the stated number of pieces or portions. PLUS lists 25 pieces for its Daelmans bag; Lidl lists around 37 pieces for the 316 g Sondey pack. For a larger Christmas gathering, I want to be able to serve enough wafers without relying on the bag’s weight alone. Quantity would be the main consideration for around 25% of consumers.
Allergens Read the current ingredients and allergen information, including any ‘may contain’ statement, for each variety. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods. If I’m buying for guests with a food allergy, I need to be able to check what’s in the wafers I’ve chosen before serving them. Allergen information would be the first priority for around 17% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means ‘individually wrapped’

    A sharing bag of small wafers doesn’t provide individually wrapped treats. Jumbo listed individually wrapped wafers in a pack of 18 × 8 g, but says this specific product is no longer available online.

    If you want individual portions to hand out, check the packaging details specifically and look at the current range before choosing an alternative.

  • Comparing only the weight of the bag

    The weight doesn’t always tell you how many portions or individual wafers a pack contains. Albert Heijn lists 37 portions in its 300 g bag; PLUS lists 25 pieces for a Daelmans bag.

    Compare the stated number of pieces or portions with your guest list, and decide whether guests will each get one mini or help themselves from a platter.

  • Assuming every variety contains the same allergens

    The mini stroopwafels described here include ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya; the information varies by product. A separate Jumbo product also listed egg and the possible presence of nuts.

    Check the label of every variety you buy, and keep the packaging next to a platter that guests can help themselves from.

  • Confusing in-store sales with online ordering

    Lidl describes the Sondey mini stroopwafels in question as ‘in-store only’. So a product page showing a suitable size doesn’t necessarily mean you can have that product delivered.

    Check with the retailer to see which purchase options are available for the pack you’ve chosen.

Frequently asked questions

How many mini stroopwafels do I need for Christmas coffee?

Use the number of pieces or portions on the packaging as a guide, and decide whether guests will each get one mini or help themselves from a platter. Albert Heijn lists 37 portions of 8 g for its 300 g bag; PLUS sells a 25-piece Daelmans bag.

Are mini stroopwafels always individually wrapped?

No. The mini size doesn’t tell you whether each one has its own wrapper. Check the packaging details if you want to hand out individual wafers; according to Jumbo, the product it described with 18 individually wrapped wafers is no longer available online.

Which allergens should I check in mini stroopwafels?

For the variety you choose, check at least for wheat, milk and soya, and read the information on other allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings. This information varies by product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.

How should I store an opened bag until Christmas?

Follow the instructions on the packaging you buy. For its mini stroopwafels, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a sealed tin after opening; PLUS says to store its own-label variety in a cool, dry place away from light.
