Choose individually wrapped mini syrup waffles if you want to set out one per person for breakfast at the weekend. A sharing bag is ideal for putting in the middle of the table, but you decide how many to serve. Check the portion size, ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for the variant you choose: the mini size alone doesn’t tell you enough.
For mini syrup waffles at a weekend breakfast, how they’re served matters more than the word ‘mini’ on the pack.
If you want to serve one small biscuit per person with coffee, check the weight per biscuit and whether they’re individually wrapped. For example, Jumbo lists 18 individually wrapped 8 g portions for its Mini Stroopwafeltjes.
If you’re putting a platter on the table, compare the number of biscuits with the pack size. With a sharing bag, you serve them yourself; the total bag weight isn’t the portion per person.
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional values affect your choice, check the exact flavour and packaging. The variants we looked at from Jumbo, Daelmans and PLUS list ingredients including wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. Don’t assume every mini syrup waffle has the same ingredients.
First decide whether you want to serve individual portions or put a platter on the table. Then compare the information on the pack of the variant you’re planning to buy.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion per person | Check the weight per biscuit or stated portion, and whether the minis are individually wrapped. | If you’re setting out one biscuit for everyone, you’ll want to know how much that one mini weighs. Around 33% of consumers prioritise a clearly defined portion. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the allergen information for the exact variant; compare sugars and fats per 100 g and per portion. | If you need to take ingredients or allergens into account, you’ll want to check the pack before serving. Around 27% of consumers prioritise checking the label. |
| Sharing at the table | Compare the number of biscuits and choose between a sharing bag and individually wrapped minis. | If you’re serving breakfast to several people, you’ll want to serve the biscuits or fill a platter without much preparation. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this way of serving. |
| Pack size and storage | Check the total pack size, storage instructions and best-before date for the packaging you choose. | If there are minis left after breakfast, you’ll want to know whether the pack size will suit another occasion. Around 20% of consumers consider this first. |
A sharing bag and a pack of individually wrapped biscuits call for different ways of serving them. The word ‘mini’ doesn’t tell you which type of packaging you’ll get.
Check the number of biscuits and whether the variant you’ve chosen says ‘individually wrapped’.
Individual wrappers mean more packaging than a sharing bag.
A portion can contain more than one mini. Jumbo lists its individually wrapped Mini Stroopwafeltjes as 8 g each, but gives a portion size of 24 g for its sharing bag of butter syrup waffles.
Read the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, then decide how many biscuits you want to serve.
Ingredients vary between variants. Products we looked at from Jumbo and Daelmans, for example, list wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and soya.
Read the ingredients and any warnings on the pack of the specific variant.
