Choose a pack with enough standard stroopwafels if you’re using them as an ingredient or topping for several portions; compare both the number of wafers and the net weight with your recipe. For lunchboxes or sharing, individually wrapped packs of two may be more practical, while mini stroopwafels are handy for small decorations. Check the current label for each variety if ingredients or allergens matter to those who’ll be eating them.
If you want to crumble the wafers, mix them into a recipe or use them as a topping, the amount you need and the number of wafers will help you choose the right pack. Product listings from Jumbo, Albert Heijn, PLUS and ALDI show a range of pack sizes.
For lunchboxes and sharing, a pack with pre-portioned wafers can be handy. For example, Jumbo lists a Kanjers pack containing four pairs of stroopwafels.
If you’re baking or serving food for others, read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current pack. For example, according to Albert Heijn, AH Terra’s plant-based stroopwafels contain wheat and soya and may contain milk.
First decide whether you need whole wafers for a recipe, pre-portioned servings or a small size for decoration. Then check the ingredients for everyone who’ll be eating them.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity for a baking project | Compare the net weight and number of standard wafers with what your recipe calls for. | If I’m baking several portions, I want enough wafers without relying on the number of pieces alone. For around 33% of consumers, having the right quantity for the recipe comes first. |
| Pre-portioned servings | Check whether the wafers are wrapped individually or in pairs, and whether that format suits the occasion. | For a lunchbox or sharing, I want to take portions with me without having to divide up a large bag. For around 25% of consumers, this convenience is the main priority. |
| Mini size | Check the size and flavour; minis aren’t necessarily the same wafer in a smaller format. | For a small topping or snack, I’d prefer a mini rather than a whole stroopwafel. This smaller format is the most important consideration for around 17% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and check both the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements. | If I’m baking for someone with specific dietary requirements, the ingredients need to be suitable for the person eating them. For around 25% of consumers, checking this is the top priority. |
The mini stroopwafels sold by Albert Heijn in a salted caramel flavour may give a different result from standard stroopwafels when the flavour stands out in a recipe.
Choose minis when you want to use the smaller shape, and check the flavour before adding them to a recipe you already know.
According to Albert Heijn, its vegan AH Terra stroopwafels contain wheat and soya, and may contain milk and lactose. So a plant-based label doesn’t replace checking the allergen information.
Before buying and serving, read the current ingredients list and the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements for the people who’ll be eating them.
Wafers you don’t use straight away for your baking project need to be stored properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping stroopwafels in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
Seal the pack tightly after use or store the remaining wafers in an airtight tin.
Albert Heijn lists a pack of 10 Daelmans stroopwafels; PLUS also shows other pack sizes from the brand.
The own-brand range includes standard stroopwafels, a mini variety with a salted caramel flavour, and AH Terra Plant-Based stroopwafels.
Jumbo lists, among other products, 468 g butter stroopwafels and 300 g mini stroopwafels.
Jumbo lists both Kanjers Original Stroopwafels in a pack of four pairs and a pack of 10.
PLUS lists caramel stroopwafels in packs of 10 and 400 g Korenlanders butter stroopwafels.
ALDI lists a pack of 12 stroopwafels with a net weight of 378 g, as well as a separate mini variety.
This pack of 10 stroopwafels is an option to compare with the number of wafers you need for a baking recipe or sharing.

The pack contains 10 stroopwafels for a recipe or occasion that calls for that number.
If your recipe specifies an amount in grams, check the net weight on the pack too. Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the label for those who’ll be eating them.
Store the wafers in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Seal the bag tightly after use or use an airtight tin, and follow the instructions on the pack too.
Use a product page as a starting point, but check the current label on the stroopwafels you buy before using them. Read both the ingredients and any statements about the possible presence of allergens.
No, the vegan label doesn’t mean that they are. For AH Terra Plant-Based stroopwafels, Albert Heijn lists wheat and soya, as well as the possible presence of milk and lactose; check the full information on the current pack.
For the large Daelmans stroopwafel, the product information shown by Albert Heijn recommends placing it on a hot cup of coffee or tea for two minutes. Don’t automatically use this serving suggestion as a preparation step for other varieties or for a baking recipe.
