For a Boxing Day buffet, mini stroopwafels are ideal for a platter guests can help themselves to; chocolate-coated stroopwafels are still waffles, but with an added chocolate touch. If you’d like a selection of chocolates or a chocolate gift, choose a separate box of chocolates. Whatever you choose, consider portion sizes and check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the packaging you buy.
Mini stroopwafels are small portions guests can help themselves to. Albert Heijn, Lidl and ALDI list packs of mini stroopwafels; compare the number of pieces or the net weight with the amount you want to serve.
According to Albert Heijn’s product pages, Daelmans offers both chocolate-coated mini stroopwafels and a pack of four larger ones. These are different from a box containing an assortment of chocolates.
When making this choice, the label matters more than the size or presentation. The Daelmans chocolate varieties reviewed list wheat, milk and soya; also check the warnings on the pack you’re actually serving.
First decide whether you want to serve stroopwafels with coffee or offer an assortment of chocolates. Then choose the right size for your platter and check the packaging label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who this matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Small portions | Check the number of minis or the portion size, as well as the net weight. | If guests are helping themselves from the platter, I want to offer small portions without having to break the waffles. Around 31% of consumers prioritise this ease of sharing. |
| Chocolate presentation | Check whether you’re buying chocolate-coated stroopwafels or a box of chocolates or pralines. | I want to serve something chocolatey that could also work as a small gift, but need to choose between waffles and chocolates. Around 31% of consumers prioritise presentation. |
| Quantity | Compare the net weight, number of pieces and stated portion size. | When lots of guests are coming, I want to know how many waffles the pack contains. For around 23% of consumers, having enough is the main consideration. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, including any warnings. | If someone has a food allergy, I check the label before putting anything on the platter. For around 15% of consumers, suitability comes first. |
A chocolate-coated stroopwafel isn’t an assortment of chocolates or pralines. That distinction matters if guests are expecting several different types of chocolate.
Decide what you want to serve: stroopwafels with coffee, small waffles to share or a separate chocolate gift. Then choose the pack.
The Daelmans chocolate varieties reviewed list wheat, milk and soya, and warn that they may contain nuts. A familiar product name is no substitute for checking the ingredients list.
Read the label on the pack you’ve bought before offering the waffles to guests with allergies.
In October 2026, Jumbo stated that two chocolate stroopwafel products were no longer part of its online range. So a pack you viewed earlier may not be available when you’re getting the buffet ready.
Check the range and the label again shortly before buying. If your first choice isn’t available, consider whether plain mini stroopwafels or a separate assortment of chocolates would work for your buffet.
An option if you want to serve chocolate-coated stroopwafels: Albert Heijn lists 157 g packs of chocolate minis and a milk chocolate variety containing four pieces.
The 390 g AH stroopwafels are a standard pack for anyone looking to serve plain waffles with coffee.
Jumbo lists stroopwafels separately from chocolate categories such as chocolates, pralines and chocolate gifts. This helps if you’re choosing between a biscuit platter and a box of chocolates.
ALDI lists 300 g packs of BISCOTTO Mini stroopwafels, as well as a standard pack of 12 stroopwafels weighing 378 g.
Lidl lists Sondey mini butter stroopwafels as an option for small buffet portions.
This pack of ten stroopwafels is a good choice if you want to serve waffles alongside coffee or tea at your buffet. If you’re mainly looking for a chocolate coating or an assortment of chocolates, you’ll need a different product.

For anyone wanting to serve stroopwafels with coffee or tea at the buffet. The pack contains 10 pieces; if you’re serving guests with allergies, check the ingredients and allergen information on the label.
Choose minis if you want guests to be able to help themselves to a small portion from the platter. For example, Lidl lists around 37 mini butter stroopwafels in each pack; for other packs, compare the number of pieces with the portions you need.
No. A chocolate-coated stroopwafel is still a waffle with a syrup filling. If you want to serve or give a selection of different chocolates or pralines, choose a separate box of chocolates.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. PLUS’s product information for Daelmans chocolate minis says to store them in a cool, dry and dark place; bear this in mind when getting the platter ready too.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, and look out for any warnings. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses the importance of accurate food information in helping to prevent allergic reactions. So don’t rely on the product name alone or on a product page you viewed earlier.
