Choose a larger pack if you want to share stroopwafels over several coffee breaks; check the number of waffles and how to store the pack after opening. For a lunchbox or a snack on the go, individually packed portions of two are more practical, while mini stroopwafels let you choose how many to serve. For every variety, check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the current packaging.
For guests at home or in the office, the number of stroopwafels in a pack matters. For example, Jumbo lists 12 portions in its 468 g butter stroopwafels; ALDI lists a pack containing 12 waffles with a net weight of 378 g.
If you want to portion out stroopwafels in advance, the inner packaging matters more than the total number of waffles alone. Jumbo lists Kanjers in a pack of 4 × 2, while PLUS shows a Daelmans wrapper containing two stroopwafels.
If you have an allergy or want to compare nutritional values, check the specific variety and the amount you’ll actually eat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends checking the ingredients list and nutrition table on the packaging when choosing a snack.
First decide whether you’ll mainly serve the stroopwafels with coffee, pack them in a lunchbox or dish them up in portions of your choice. Then compare the packaging and the information for the specific variety.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough to share | Compare the number of waffles or portions and the net weight; check how to store the pack after opening. | If I’m serving stroopwafels to guests or over several coffee breaks, I want to know how many are in the pack. Around 42% of consumers say having enough to share is their top priority. |
| Easy to take with you | Check how many waffles are packed together and whether the portions are already individually wrapped. | For a lunchbox, I want to be able to grab a portion without taking a large, opened bag with me. For around 33% of consumers, pre-portioned packs are the most important factor. |
| Portions and ingredients | Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g; for a particular eating occasion, also consider the portion size you’ve chosen. | If I’m buying for myself or someone with an allergy, I want to be able to check the exact variety. For around 25% of consumers, portions and ingredients come first. |
A pack with lots of stroopwafels is handy for sharing, but it may not contain individually wrapped portions. A bag of loose waffles therefore works differently for a lunchbox than a pack of 4 × 2.
Check how many waffles are in each inner pack, not just the total number shown on the outer packaging.
You can serve mini stroopwafels in small quantities, but the number you eat determines the portion size. Their smaller size alone says nothing about the nutritional value of that portion.
Decide how many you want to serve, then compare the nutritional information per 100 g with the amount you’ll actually have.
Listed ingredients and allergens vary between varieties. The Jumbo, Daelmans, AH and Kanjers stroopwafels reviewed here list ingredients including wheat or gluten, milk and soya; the Kanjers variety reviewed may also contain nuts.
