Those stocking up the biscuit tin
Households buying several regular stroopwafels for guests or Christmas baking will mainly want to check the weight and the number of waffles in each pack.
Choose regular stroopwafels if you want to fill the biscuit tin with whole waffles to share; minis are better for smaller portions or decorating a baking project. Then check the number of waffles, the weight, the best-before date and the ingredients on the pack: a mention of butter tells you nothing about whether the product is suitable for people with allergies.
Households buying several regular stroopwafels for guests or Christmas baking will mainly want to check the weight and the number of waffles in each pack.
If you’re using stroopwafels as decorations or want to share smaller portions, compare the size and number of minis with regular waffles.
If you need to take allergens into account, the ingredients list and any warnings on the current pack are what matter. The product name alone isn’t enough information.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Enough for sharing | Compare the net weight and the stated number of waffles or portions. Jumbo lists its butter stroopwafels as 468 g and 12 portions. | For guests and a full biscuit tin, I want to be able to put out enough whole waffles. Around 50% of consumers prioritise getting enough in the pack. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the current pack. The Jumbo butter variety lists gluten, milk, soya and wheat. | If an allergen matters to my household, I need to know whether this particular variety is suitable. Around 30% of consumers put checking ingredients first. |
| Size for your baking project | Check whether the pack contains regular stroopwafels or minis, and whether the size suits your plans. Lidl lists around 37 Sondey minis in a 316 g pack. | For decorations or lots of small portions, I don’t want to have to use whole waffles. A smaller size is the most important factor for around 20% of consumers. |
Jumbo’s butter stroopwafels also list gluten, soya and wheat. So the recipe mentioned in the product name doesn’t tell you which other allergens may be in the waffle.
Before eating, check the ingredients list and any warnings on the pack of the exact variety.
A pack with lots of minis is handy for smaller portions, but it won’t give you the same number of whole waffles for the biscuit tin or with a cup of coffee.
