For a clearly defined snack break, choose mini stroopwafels with a stated serving size, such as the 8 g per serving shown on the Albert Heijn pack. If you’re catering for several people on holiday, a bag with a stated number of wafers may be more practical, as long as you divide them into portions yourself. Check the current label on each variety for ingredients, allergens and storage advice.
A stated serving size makes it easier to plan a snack break before you set off. For its mini caramel and sea salt variety, Albert Heijn gives a serving size of 8 g and 25 servings per pack; with a sharing bag, you can divide the wafers into portions yourself in advance.
For a car journey, campsite or holiday accommodation, comparing the number of wafers and the net weight is useful. PLUS lists 25 wafers in its Daelmans sharing bag, while Lidl gives an approximate count of 37 for the Sondey pack.
Read the label of the variety you’ve chosen before buying, particularly if allergens are a deciding factor. The products discussed here list wheat, milk and soya among their ingredients; don’t assume that another variety from the same brand has the same ingredients.
Before your summer holiday, first decide whether you want a clearly defined portion, something to share with others or to check the ingredients of a particular variety.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| A portion for the journey | Check the grams per serving and the number of servings; Albert Heijn lists 8 g and 25 servings for its mini caramel and sea salt variety. | If I want to plan one small snack break while travelling, I want to know how many wafers that means. Around 40% of consumers prioritise keeping portions in check. |
| Sharing with family or a group | Compare the net weight and the stated number of wafers; PLUS lists 25 Daelmans minis and Lidl around 37 Sondey minis. | When I’m sharing holiday accommodation with other people, I want enough mini wafers to spread across our snack breaks. For around 30% of consumers, sharing or having a supply to hand is the main priority. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the current label for allergen information and compare the nutritional values per 100 g and, where given, per serving. | If a particular ingredient matters to me, the variety I choose must meet my requirements. Ingredients, allergens or nutritional values are the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
Mini wafers can also come in bags containing several servings. Their size alone doesn’t tell you how many wafers make up one stated serving.
Compare the serving size in grams with the number of servings or wafers. If you want to plan separate snack breaks, divide a sharing bag into portions before you set off.
