Solo snackers looking for a bar
If you’re specifically after chocolate with stroopwafel pieces, check the product format and weight. Albert Heijn’s Delicata bar weighs 150 g, so one bar isn’t automatically a single portion for one snack break.
Which format is right for you?
Home bakers and dessert decorators
If you want to place a whole, round waffle on a bake or use it as a decoration, start with whole stroopwafels. Albert Heijn shows how to cut shapes out of stroopwafels in one of its recipes, while Jumbo offers ideas for decorating them.
Shoppers looking for a smaller pack to take with them
A twin pack or snack pack may be a better fit than a large multipack if you only need waffles for a few occasions. Do check the number of pieces: Daelmans’ chocolate snack pack contains four waffles, not one bar.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want a chocolate bar, a whole waffle for baking or simply an easy-to-handle pack. Then compare the product format and quantity on the label.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who should consider this most? |
|---|---|---|
| Bar format | Is it a chocolate bar with stroopwafel pieces? Also compare the net weight and stated portion size. | If I want a bar to eat on my own, I’m looking for chocolate with recognisable stroopwafel pieces, not a bag of loose waffles. For around 42% of consumers, this product format comes first. |
| Use in baking | Do you need a whole waffle to cut shapes out of or decorate, or pieces to mix into a dessert? | For a decoration that stands out, I want to use the whole round waffle; for a dessert, I may want to add pieces instead. Around 33% of consumers give this use the highest priority. |
| Pack size | Compare the number of pieces, the net weight and the storage advice for an opened pack. | If I only want to take a few waffles with me, I want to know how many are in a pack before opening a larger one. This matters most to around 25% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a bar is a single portion
Albert Heijn’s Delicata stroopwafel bar weighs 150 g. Its shape doesn’t tell you how much you’ll want to eat in one snack break.
Compare the net weight and portion size on the pack with the amount you’re looking for.
-
Choosing a chocolate option when you need whole waffles
A chocolate bar with stroopwafel pieces won’t give you a round waffle to cut shapes out of or use as a decoration. A chocolate-coated waffle will also add chocolate to your recipe.
Choose the format based on how you’ll use it: decorate a whole waffle, crumble waffles or add pieces of chocolate bar.
-
Guessing allergens from the product name
Ingredients vary between bars and stroopwafels. The products described here include ingredients such as milk, cereals containing gluten and soya; the name alone won’t tell you which allergens apply to your chosen product.
Read the allergen information on the current packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that this information must be shown on the label of prepacked products.

Frequently asked questions
Is a stroopwafel chocolate bar the same as a plain stroopwafel?
No. Albert Heijn’s Delicata version is milk chocolate with stroopwafel pieces and fudge pieces, not a whole filled waffle. Choose a whole stroopwafel if you want to serve it, cut shapes out of it or use its round shape as a decoration.
Which type of stroopwafel should I use for biscuits or dessert decorations?
Use whole stroopwafels if the waffle needs to remain visible or you want to cut shapes out of it. Albert Heijn explains how to cut shapes out of stroopwafels, while Jumbo shows you how to decorate them. If you’re looking to add pieces of chocolate with stroopwafel to a recipe, a stroopwafel chocolate bar may be a good fit.
Which allergens should I check for?
Check the allergens for the specific product on the current packaging. The bars and stroopwafels described here include ingredients such as milk, cereals containing gluten and soya; ingredients vary between products. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must be shown on the label of prepacked products.
How should I store stroopwafels or a stroopwafel bar?
Follow the storage advice on the pack you buy. Albert Heijn advises keeping the Delicata bar in a cool, dark and dry place; PLUS advises storing its stroopwafels in a dry, dark place. Reseal any larger pack properly once opened.
