Who are mini syrup waffles handy for?

Solo gamers who want to portion snacks in advance

You want to set out something sweet without keeping the whole bag next to you. Check the stated portion size and whether you can reseal the pack.

Anyone hosting a gaming night

You want to share the waffles between several players. The number of pieces and the type of packaging can help you decide how many to put out beforehand.

Anyone who needs to check ingredients or allergens

For you, the current label matters more than the size. Check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack you intend to buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide how many waffles you want to set out and whether you’ll be sharing them. Then compare the nutritional information per 100 g, and read the label if ingredients or allergens are important to you.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Portions Check the portion size and number of pieces; decide in advance how many to set out. When I’m gaming alone, I don’t want to keep eating from an open bag without noticing. Around 36% of consumers put portion control first.
Sharing Check the number of pieces and choose between a sharing bag and individually wrapped waffles. When I’m with a group, I want to know whether everyone can have a waffle without putting the whole pack out. Sharing comes first for around 27% of consumers.
Nutritional information Compare the nutritional values per 100 g and check what the stated portion contains. When I compare snacks, I want to look at sugars and other nutritional values on the same basis. Around 19% of consumers give this their highest priority.
Allergens Read the allergen information and any warnings on the current label. When I’m putting out food for someone with a food allergy, I need to know what that specific pack contains. Checking allergens comes first for around 18% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming one mini syrup waffle is a standard portion

    Mini describes the size, not how many waffles make up one portion. Albert Heijn lists 8 g as the portion size for AH Mini stroopwafels; for the Daelmans minis reviewed, Albert Heijn lists four waffles, weighing 32 g in total, per portion.

    Check the portion information on the pack you choose and set aside your own amount before you start playing.

  • Guessing the allergens based on the size

    The regular mini syrup waffles reviewed list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya. A smaller size doesn’t change the ingredients.

    Check the allergen information on the current pack every time you buy, even if you’ve bought the product before.

  • Assuming a pack you’ve seen before will still be available

    Jumbo says its pack of 18 mini syrup waffles, each weighing 8 g, is no longer part of its online range.

    Check availability before planning a gaming night around a specific type of pack.

Frequently asked questions

Does the mini size make it easier to measure a portion?

Only if you also decide how many pieces to have. Albert Heijn lists a portion size of 8 g for AH Mini stroopwafels, while a stated portion of the Daelmans minis reviewed consists of four waffles weighing 32 g in total.

Where can I check the allergens in mini syrup waffles?

Check the label on the pack you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods. Also read any warnings relating to your specific allergens.

How do I compare the nutritional value of two packs?

Compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then check the stated portion size. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends using values per 100 g when comparing products.

Are gluten-free syrup waffles also available in mini sizes?

A gluten-free label doesn’t, by itself, tell you anything about the size. The AH Glutenvrij Biologisch stroopwafels reviewed are labelled gluten-free, but not as minis. If you choose an alternative, check the label for other allergens too.
