Who are the options for?

Anyone giving a little treat

A duo of two waffles may be a better fit for one thoughtful moment than a large bag. Check the number of portions for a bar too: Jumbo lists around six portions for its 140 g bar.

Chocolate lovers who enjoy stroopwafel pieces

A stroopwafel chocolate bar is a good choice when you want chocolate to take centre stage. It’s a different product from a traditional waffle with syrup filling.

Shoppers who need to check allergens

Read the packaging for the product you choose. The stroopwafels and bars mentioned contain ingredients such as milk, wheat or gluten, and soya; Jumbo’s chocolate bar also lists egg and barley, and warns that other allergens may be present.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want the gift to be chocolate or a classic stroopwafel. Then compare pack sizes: a duo, a bar and a multipack aren’t the same as one measured portion.

Stroopwafel chocolate bar

A good fit when: the recipient mainly wants milk chocolate with stroopwafel pieces, and a bar to enjoy over several occasions is suitable.

The trade-off: Jumbo lists around six portions for its 140 g bar; its bar shape doesn’t make it a single serving.

Traditional stroopwafel

A good fit when: the recipient would prefer waffles with syrup filling to enjoy with coffee or tea.

The trade-off: a duo is still a small option, but the Daelmans duo page checked at Albert Heijn said the product was unavailable. Traditional stroopwafels are also sold in larger packs.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this most important for?
Small gift size Compare the number of pieces, total weight and stated portions. I want to give one thoughtful treat without having a large pack left over. Around 42% of consumers prioritise a small gift size.
Chocolate or waffle Read the product description: is it a chocolate bar with stroopwafel pieces or waffles with syrup filling? If the recipient mainly wants chocolate, the type of product matters more to me than the bar shape. Around 25% of consumers prioritise the chocolate experience.
A classic stroopwafel moment Check that they’re traditional stroopwafels and how many waffles the pack contains. With coffee or tea, I’d rather have a familiar stroopwafel than chocolate with waffle pieces, even if that means buying a multipack. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this classic moment.
Allergens and availability Read the latest packaging and check stock at your chosen store or for your delivery address. I can only choose once I know the ingredients are suitable for the recipient and the product is available. Around 8% of consumers prioritise these requirements.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a bar is one portion

    Jumbo’s stroopwafel chocolate bar weighs 140 g and lists around six portions. That could be more than you had in mind for one small treat.

    Compare the total weight and number of portions before judging by the shape or name.

  • Assuming a product page confirms stock

    The Daelmans duo was listed as unavailable at Albert Heijn, while the PLUS chocolate bar we checked wasn’t available at the selected store. Lidl listed its Sondey stroopwafels as an in-store product.

    Check availability at your local store or for your delivery address before planning the gift.

  • Confusing chocolate with stroopwafel pieces for stroopwafels

    A chocolate bar with waffle pieces offers a different eating experience from two waffles with syrup filling.

    Decide which type of product the recipient would enjoy, then compare the packaging.

  • Assuming allergens are the same as in a similar product

    Allergen information varies between products. For example, Jumbo’s chocolate bar also lists egg and barley, and warns that it may contain other allergens, including nuts, peanuts and sesame.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the latest packaging of the exact product you’re buying.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

Daelmans offers traditional stroopwafels, including a duo of two waffles and a bag of ten.

  • The 78 g duo pack is smaller than the multipacks mentioned; Daelmans also recommends enjoying its stroopwafels with a hot drink.
  • The Daelmans duo page checked at Albert Heijn said the product was unavailable. Check current availability and the allergen information on the packaging.

Albert Heijn

The AH own-brand range includes traditional stroopwafels in a pack of eight.

  • The product page lists 310 g and eight portions, so you can weigh the pack size against your idea of a small gift.
  • Eight waffles aren’t a single bar. Check the latest ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.

Jumbo

Jumbo offers both a 140 g stroopwafel chocolate bar and traditional stroopwafels in a 468 g pack.

  • The chocolate bar is a different type of product for anyone who would prefer chocolate with stroopwafel pieces.
  • The bar lists around six portions; the traditional pack lists twelve. Neither is a measured single-person gift.

Lidl / Sondey

Lidl offers Sondey butter stroopwafels in a pack of twelve, weighing 480 g.

  • A traditional stroopwafel option if a pack to enjoy at home suits the gift.
  • It isn’t a single bar; Lidl lists the product as available in store only.

ALDI / Heerlijck Banket

ALDI offers Heerlijck Banket butter stroopwafels with caramel syrup in a pack of twelve, weighing 480 g.

  • This format is suited to stocking up on stroopwafels at home.
  • Twelve waffles aren’t a small duo or an individually wrapped bar; check stock at your chosen store.

PLUS

PLUS offers caramel stroopwafels in bags of ten and a 140 g stroopwafel milk chocolate bar.

  • The two product types let you choose between traditional waffles and chocolate with stroopwafel pieces.
  • The bag of ten isn’t a single portion. The chocolate bar we checked wasn’t available at the selected PLUS store.
