If you want to open exactly one waffle
You want to take a stroopwafel to the game table without opening a large pack. Check how many waffles come in each individual wrapper: a duo is different from a single individually wrapped waffle.
Which pack is right for you?
If you want to keep track of your portion
Compare the nutritional information with the waffle you’ll actually eat. Check the weight per waffle and whether the figures are given per 100 g or per portion.
If you need to check the ingredients
If you need to avoid gluten or certain allergens, the label on your chosen variety matters more than the convenience of the packaging. The regular products reviewed here from brands including Daelmans and Kanjers list wheat, milk and soya.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you need one individually wrapped waffle, or whether you can save or share a second one. Then compare the portion size and ingredients for the specific pack.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| One individually wrapped waffle | Check how many waffles come in each wrapper; a duo contains two. | I want to take one waffle with me without opening a larger pack. Around 38% of consumers prioritise an individually wrapped portion. |
| Portion size and nutritional information | Check the weight per waffle and compare energy, sugars and saturated fat per portion, not just per 100 g. | I want to know in advance how much I’ll eat during the game break. Around 31% of consumers put a defined portion first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label for your chosen variety; if you need a gluten-free option, look for a product explicitly labelled gluten-free. | If I need to avoid gluten or certain ingredients, the label determines which waffle I can choose. This is the deciding factor for around 23% of consumers. |
| Stock for future game nights | Compare the number of waffles and how they’re packed with what you’d like to save for later. | If you want to keep waffles for future game nights, a multipack may suit you better than a single portion. Stocking up is the top priority for around 8% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a duo means one individually wrapped waffle
According to Albert Heijn, the Daelmans Jumbo duo contains two waffles in one wrapper. Jumbo also describes the Kanjers pack as containing duos.
If you want to open exactly one waffle while you’re playing, check how many come in each wrapper.
-
Guessing allergens from the product name
The regular Daelmans and Kanjers varieties reviewed here list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya. Ingredients can vary between varieties.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re buying, even if you already know the brand.
-
Comparing nutritional values per 100 g only
A large waffle may be a different portion size from a smaller one. Voedingscentrum lists 189 kcal for one extra-large 40 g stroopwafel; that figure doesn’t apply to every variety.
Use the weight per waffle and the nutritional information for your chosen product to compare your portion.
Brands to consider
Daelmans
The ranges reviewed include both regular stroopwafels and larger waffles in different pack formats.

Albert Heijn
A supermarket with product pages for regular Daelmans stroopwafels and smaller pack formats.
- The Daelmans Jumbo duo is described as two waffles with a total weight of 78 g.
- The name ‘stroopwafel for on the go’ doesn’t tell you how many waffles are individually wrapped; check the packaging.
Jumbo
Provides product information for regular packs, duos and a stroopwafel variety explicitly labelled gluten-free.
- According to Jumbo, the butter stroopwafel pack reviewed contains twelve portions in 468 g.

- The Daelmans duo is listed as a 78 g pack; the gluten-free PLUS stroopwafels come in a 240 g bag.
- A wrapper or bag isn’t the same as one individually wrapped waffle.
Lidl / Sondey
An in-store option for a regular pack of butter stroopwafels.

Frequently asked questions
Can I count on finding one individually wrapped stroopwafel?
Not without checking how many waffles come in each wrapper. The Daelmans pack reviewed contains 36 individually wrapped 39 g waffles, but Jumbo says this product is no longer in its online range. If you choose an alternative, check the current label to make sure each waffle really is individually wrapped.
Is a duo pack the same as a portion of one waffle?
No, a duo contains two waffles in one wrapper. This may work if you share or save the second waffle, but check how the pack should be stored and use the nutritional information for the amount you actually eat.
Are regular stroopwafels gluten-free?
Don’t assume they are: the regular Daelmans, Jumbo and Kanjers varieties reviewed list wheat or gluten. If you need to avoid gluten, choose a variety explicitly labelled gluten-free and check the current label for other ingredients and allergens, too.
Which allergens should I check for in a stroopwafel?
Always check the allergen information for the specific variety. The regular stroopwafels reviewed contain wheat, milk and soya; for the Kanjers variety reviewed, Jumbo also lists egg and possible traces of nuts.
