Stock-up shoppers
If you’re buying enough for several coffee breaks, check how many wafers and how many grams you get in each pack. That way, you can decide whether one bag will be enough.
Which pack is right for you?
Anyone sharing stroopwafels
If you’re serving guests or putting a platter out at work, it’s not just the quantity that matters. Think about how you want to serve them: as full-size stroopwafels or smaller portions.
Shoppers who check the label
If the ingredients, allergens or a butter-based recipe matter to you, read the information on the pack for the variant you’ve chosen. If you’re stocking up, check the storage instructions too.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, work out how many wafers you need and how you plan to serve them. Then compare the recipe and the information on the label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the net weight and number of wafers with the number of coffee breaks you have planned. | I don’t want to run out of stroopwafels halfway through my supply. That’s why quantity comes first for around 25% of consumers. |
| Serving size | Choose between regular wafers and minis based on the portion size you want. | When putting out a platter for guests, I want everyone to be able to take a portion that suits them. Serving size is the first consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
| Recipe and flavour | Read the ingredients and flavour description for the variant you’ve chosen. | For a regular coffee break, I’m looking for a particular flavour or a butter-based recipe. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this preference. |
| Label and storage | Check the allergen information and follow the storage instructions, including after opening. | If I’m keeping stroopwafels for others and serving them later, I want to be able to check the current label. This check is a priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Treating minis and regular stroopwafels as the same size
A pack of minis can be handy for smaller portions on a platter, while regular wafers are a better choice if you want to offer each person a whole stroopwafel.
Decide how you’ll serve them first, then compare the number of wafers and net weight for the size you’re considering.
-
Guessing allergens from the product name
A name such as ‘butter’ or ‘mini’ doesn’t tell you which allergens or possible traces are listed on the label for that particular variant.
Check the allergen information on the actual pack every time you buy, especially if you’re sharing the wafers with others.
Brands to compare
Jumbo
Jumbo offers both a 468 g bag of regular butter stroopwafels and 300 g mini stroopwafels.
- Having different sizes makes it easy to compare a larger bag for stocking up with a size for smaller portions.
- Check the number of wafers and ingredients for each variant; weight alone won’t tell you how the wafers can be divided up.
ALDI
ALDI offers regular stroopwafels in 12-piece packs weighing 378 g or 480 g, as well as 300 g mini stroopwafels.
- The two regular packs have the same number of wafers, so you can compare them by net weight.
- Check which variant is available at your chosen store.
PLUS
PLUS offers, among other options, a 400 g bag of Korenlanders butter stroopwafels, alongside variants from Bakker Joop and Daelmans.
- The Korenlanders variant includes details of its ingredients and allergens, along with instructions to store it in a cool, dry place.
- Don’t assume this product information applies to other stroopwafel variants.
Daelmans
Daelmans is worth considering if the recipe matters more to you than getting the largest possible bag; the pack shown at PLUS contains ten stroopwafels.
- The product description lists syrup filling, butter, cinnamon and vanilla.
- Check that ten wafers will be enough for the number of people you’re buying for.
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn offers 200 g mini stroopwafels with caramel and sea salt, listed as 25 portions of 8 g.
- The stated number of portions helps when planning a platter of smaller portions.
- Check the flavour and ingredients when choosing wafers for a group.

Frequently asked questions
How many stroopwafels do I need to share?
Choose the number of wafers to suit the people you want to offer one to. For example, ALDI offers bags of twelve with different net weights, while Jumbo also offers a 468 g bag. So check both the number of wafers and the weight in grams on the pack you choose.
When are mini stroopwafels a good choice?
Minis are ideal for a platter where people can help themselves to smaller portions. For its 200 g mini variant, Albert Heijn lists 25 portions of 8 g. Choose regular wafers instead if you want to serve each person a whole stroopwafel.
How should I store an opened bag of stroopwafels?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. PLUS says to store its Korenlanders variant in a cool, dry place; for its mini variant, Albert Heijn recommends using an airtight tin after opening.
Where can I check allergens when sharing stroopwafels?
Read the allergen information on the actual pack you’ve bought before serving the wafers. Don’t rely on the product name or the label from a variant you bought previously.
