Choose a pack of 10 to 12 whole stroopwafels if you mainly want to count how many you’ll need for guests or a baking session. Twin packs are a better fit if you’re looking for individual portions to take with you; mini stroopwafels are an option for small tastings or an edible finishing touch. Whatever size you choose, check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the current packaging.
For a Christmas coffee break or a baking session, it helps to know in advance how many whole waffles you’ll need. So compare the number of waffles with the net weight: a bigger bag doesn’t necessarily contain more individual waffles.
If you want to take waffles with you for individual occasions, a twin pack or pack of 4 × 2 can be handy. Just check that two waffles per pack are the right portion for you.
Mini stroopwafels are worth considering for tastings or as a small, edible finishing touch. Check that their size and shape work for your recipe before you start.
First decide whether you need whole waffles for a group, individual portions to take with you, or smaller waffles to serve. Then compare the contents and packaging of the options that suit your needs.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Whole waffles for a group | Compare the number of waffles and the net weight; a pack of 10 and a pack of 12 won’t give you the same number of whole waffles. | For a Christmas coffee break, I want to know in advance how many guests I can offer a whole waffle to. For around 40% of consumers, having enough to share is the top priority. |
| Portions to take with you | Check that the waffles really are packed in pairs and how many twin packs are included. | For a lunchbox, I want a ready-made portion I can take with me without having to split up a big bag first. Around 30% of consumers give these individual portions top priority. |
| Smaller waffles to serve | Check whether they’re mini stroopwafels, and look at the weight and any portion information. | For a baking session, I’m looking for small tasting portions or a finishing touch that suits what I’m making. For around 30% of consumers, the smaller size matters most. |
A bag of whole waffles, individually wrapped twin packs and a bag of mini stroopwafels all work differently. So even a pack with enough total weight may not be convenient for the number of guests or portions you have in mind.
Count the whole waffles or individual portions you need, then check the number of waffles, net weight and size on the packaging.
Ingredients and allergens vary by product. The stroopwafels mentioned here may contain wheat, milk and soya, and depending on the variety, egg or traces of nuts.
When buying or receiving your order, check the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack, especially if anyone needs to avoid an ingredient.
If you’ll be enjoying the waffles over several occasions, you’ll need to reseal an opened bag properly between uses.
The Voedingscentrum recommends storing stroopwafels in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed pack. Choose a twin pack if you’re mainly planning individual portions to take with you.
These examples show the different types of packaging you can compare; always check the details for the specific variety you’re buying.
PLUS lists both a bag of 10 stroopwafels and an individual 78 g twin pack. That makes the brand a useful option when choosing between sharing and taking waffles with you.
Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels in a pack of 4 × 2, with a total weight of 320 g.
Jumbo’s own-label range also includes 300 g mini butter stroopwafels, as well as standard-sized stroopwafels.
The AH stroopwafel pack checked weighs 310 g and lists eight 39 g portions.
Lidl lists Sondey butter stroopwafels in a pack of 12, weighing 480 g.
ALDI lists stroopwafels in a pack of 12, weighing 378 g, as well as 300 g BISCOTTO mini stroopwafels.
These two Kanjers packs are options if you’re looking for a countable number of whole stroopwafels. The eight-piece variety is packed in pairs; for the 10-piece variety, the number of waffles is the clearest guide if you’re choosing a pack to share.

An option if you want to take or hand out stroopwafels in pairs.
The pack contains eight stroopwafels, individually wrapped in pairs. If you’re buying for a group, check in advance whether eight whole waffles will be enough, and check the current label if allergies are a concern.

An option if you want to count out 10 whole stroopwafels for a baking session or coffee break.
The pack contains 10 pieces. Check the net weight when comparing it with another pack, and read the current label if allergies are a concern.
Count how many whole waffles you want to hand out or use in your baking, then compare that number with the quantity shown on the pack. For example, Daelmans sells bags of 10, while ALDI and Lidl, among others, offer packs of 12; the weight varies by variety.
Yes, if two waffles are the right amount for you to take each time. The Kanjers 4 × 2 variety gives you four twin packs, and Daelmans also offers an individual twin pack.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety on the current packaging. The information varies by product and may list egg or possible traces of nuts, as well as wheat, milk or soya; don’t rely on the brand name or size alone.
Store opened stroopwafels in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed pack, as recommended by the Voedingscentrum. Also follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the pack you’ve bought.
