Who do these differences matter to?

Anyone who wants to take or give someone a single waffle

An individual wrapper makes it easy to take one with you. Jumbo lists this feature for its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, in a pack of 18 × 8 g; don’t assume every mini variety is packaged this way.

Anyone topping up a small stock

Compare the pack size with the number of occasions you expect to enjoy the waffles. Albert Heijn lists a 200 g bag for its mini caramel sea salt variety; other mini packs mentioned here contain 300 g.

Anyone who needs to check ingredients

If an ingredient or allergen matters to you, read the label for the exact flavour and pack you’re buying. The ingredients in one variety don’t necessarily apply to other mini stroopwafels.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to be able to take a single waffle with you or portion them out of a bag. Then match the pack size to how much you need and check the label.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Taking a single portion with you Check whether the waffles are individually wrapped and how much each one weighs. A stated portion size doesn’t confirm that each waffle has its own wrapper. If I want to take one waffle with me when I’m out, I don’t want to have to portion it out of a bag first. This is a priority for around 42% of consumers.
A small amount in stock Compare the pack size and number of pieces with how much you plan to use. A box of 150 pieces calls for a different choice than a 200 or 300 g bag. I want to top up until my next shopping trip without bringing a large box into the house straight away. This is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the label for the flavour and pack you’ve chosen; don’t use the ingredients list for a different variety as a substitute. If I need to avoid an ingredient, the contents of this specific variety matter more than the packaging. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label is the main priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming all minis are individually wrapped

    A small size or a portion size on the label doesn’t tell you whether each waffle has its own wrapper. Jumbo lists its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, in a pack of 18 × 8 g, as individually wrapped.

    If you want to take or share individual waffles, check the packaging or product description for an explicit statement such as ‘individually wrapped’.

  • Choosing a large box for a short top-up period

    A box of 150 pieces may be more than you need for a small top-up shop. Jumbo lists this quantity for Fair Trade Original Mini Stroopwafels.

    First count how many occasions you expect to eat or share them, then choose a suitable pack size.

  • Assuming the ingredients are the same across flavours

    The mini caramel sea salt variety from Albert Heijn that we looked at lists wheat, milk ingredients and ingredients derived from soya, among others. This doesn’t tell you for certain what’s in another variety.

    If you have an allergy or dietary restriction, check the label on the exact pack you’re going to use.

Brands to consider

These brands and own-label products come in different types of packaging; the features listed apply to the specific varieties mentioned.

Daelmans

PLUS lists Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel in a stand-up pouch containing 25 pieces.

  • The number of pieces is listed, so you can compare the pack with how much you plan to use.
  • A stand-up pouch containing 25 pieces doesn’t confirm that the waffles are individually wrapped; check the current label too.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists its AH Stroopwafel mini karamel zeezout as a 200 g pack, with 25 stated portions of 8 g.

  • The stated portion size helps you compare the pack size and number of portions.
  • An 8 g portion doesn’t mean that each waffle has its own wrapper. Check the ingredients for this flavour separately.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists both Mini Stroopwafeltjes in a pack of 18 × 8 g and a 300 g bag of Mini Stroopwafels met Roomboter.

  • According to Jumbo, the waffles in the 18 × 8 g pack are individually wrapped.
  • Don’t assume the 300 g bag comes in the same packaging; check the variety you choose.

Sondey

Lidl lists a Mini-roomboter stroopwafels variety under its Sondey brand.

  • The product name makes it easy to find this mini variety in store.
  • Before comparing it with other minis, check the pack size, ingredients and packaging on the product itself.

Heerlijck Banket

ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack.

  • ALDI states that this variety contains 25% butter.
  • The stated butter content and pack size don’t tell you whether the waffles are individually wrapped or suitable for a specific dietary restriction.

Frequently asked questions

Does the mini size tell you anything about nutritional value?

No. The size of a stroopwafel alone doesn’t tell you what its nutritional value is. Compare the nutritional information for your chosen variety per 100 g and, where listed, per portion.

Are mini stroopwafels in a bag individually wrapped?

Not necessarily: a bag or a stated portion size doesn’t confirm that each waffle has its own wrapper. Jumbo explicitly lists its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, in a pack of 18 × 8 g, as individually wrapped; check this again for every other variety.

How should I store a larger pack of mini stroopwafels?

Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve chosen. For its box of 150 Fair Trade Original Mini Stroopwafels, Jumbo advises storing them in a dry place at no more than 20 °C; don’t assume the same applies to other products.

Can I rely on the allergen information for a different flavour?

No. If you have an allergy, check the ingredients and allergens on the label for the exact flavour and pack you’re using. The ingredients in Albert Heijn’s mini caramel sea salt variety don’t confirm what’s in another variety.
