If you’d like to offer every guest one individually wrapped stroopwafel alongside the savoury snacks, choose a pack with one waffle per wrapper. A twin pack is a good fit when two waffles can be shared, while loose mini stroopwafels are ideal for a communal bowl but don’t automatically come individually wrapped for each guest. Before serving, check the portion sizes, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought.
For drinks, a coffee table or a treat, you may want each guest to be able to pick up an individually wrapped stroopwafel. Daelmans lists display boxes containing 24 or 36 individually wrapped waffles for this purpose.
A sealed twin pack works well when two waffles can be handed out together. Jumbo lists Kanjers as 4 × 2 pieces; Albert Heijn lists the same format for a Daelmans 4-pack. That means four sealed portions, not eight individually wrapped waffles.
Compare the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety you’re serving. According to Your Europe, allergen information must be included on the labels of prepacked foods in the EU, so the current packaging is an important point to check.
First decide whether each guest needs their own sealed waffle. Then choose the portion size and number of portions you can use. Whichever type of pack you choose, check the label on the variety you’re actually buying.
A good fit when: each guest should be able to pick up their own sealed sweet biscuit.
The trade-off: individual wrappers make portions easy to hand out, but use more packaging than a bag of mini stroopwafels.
A good fit when: guests can share a pack or take two waffles at a time.
The trade-off: a twin pack is a sealed portion, but it doesn’t give two guests one individually wrapped waffle each.
A good fit when: you’d like to put out a shared bowl of bite-sized sweet treats.
The trade-off: check the specific pack if individual wrappers are still needed; the mini ranges mentioned don’t confirm this type of packaging.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| One sealed waffle per guest | Check how many waffles are in each wrapper. Daelmans lists its display boxes as 24 × 1 and 36 × 1. | If guests need to be able to pick up one biscuit each, I don’t want to have to open or divide twin packs afterwards. For around 33% of consumers, this individual portion is the top priority. |
| Portion size | Count the inner packs rather than just the waffles: 4 × 2 means four packs with two waffles in each. | For a coffee break, I want to know whether two waffles together make a suitable portion. Portion size is the first concern for around 27% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you buy, including any warnings about traces. | If I’m buying for someone with a relevant allergy or dietary requirement, I need to be able to assess the ingredients in this exact variety. This check matters most to around 20% of consumers. |
| Number of usable portions | Match the number of sealed packs or loose mini waffles to your group, and check the current pack size. | For a small get-together, I don’t want to plan for the same number of portions as I would for a large group. The right quantity comes first for around 20% of consumers. |
A 4 × 2 pack contains eight waffles, but only four sealed twin packs. That matters if each guest needs to receive one unopened waffle.
Check both the number of inner packs and the number of waffles in each one.
The Daelmans and Kanjers varieties mentioned have different allergen information. The type of wrapper also says nothing about whether a product is suitable for a particular diet.
Before serving, read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings about traces on the physical pack of the variety you’ve chosen.
A product listing may remain online after an item has been removed from a retailer’s range. Jumbo notes this for a mini stroopwafel variety shown previously.
Check the product’s current status with the retailer before deciding how many portions to buy for your get-together.
Daelmans lists boxes of 24 and 36 individually wrapped waffles, while twin packs and bags of minis are portioned differently. So the number of waffles doesn’t always match the number of sealed portions in a pack.
Decide how many guests will get their own pack, then choose a pack size to suit.
Daelmans lists display boxes of 24 × 1 and 36 × 1 individually wrapped caramel stroopwafels, each 9 cm in diameter.
The range includes Daelmans stroopwafels and AH varieties; the Daelmans 4-pack listed contains 4 × 2 waffles.
Jumbo lists several stroopwafel varieties, including Kanjers Original Stroopwafels in packs of 4 × 2.
Lidl lists a pack of around 37 Sondey mini butter stroopwafels.
ALDI lists Biscotto mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack.
PLUS lists Daelmans stroopwafels in standard, twin and mini formats, among others.
These Kanjers stroopwafels are a good fit for drinks or a coffee break when you want two waffles in each sealed pack, but not if you need to hand out one individually wrapped waffle per guest.

For a coffee break or drinks when two waffles together make one sealed portion.
8 pieces, 320 g; packed two waffles per pack. Check the allergen information on the physical pack before serving them to guests.
No. A twin pack contains two waffles together in one sealed pack. Jumbo lists Kanjers as 4 × 2 pieces, and Albert Heijn lists the same format for a Daelmans 4-pack. If every guest needs their own sealed biscuit, choose a pack with one waffle per wrapper.
Read the ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings about traces on the physical pack of the variety you’ve chosen. Your Europe explains that allergen information forms part of EU labelling rules for prepacked foods; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority also stresses the importance of accurate labelling for people with allergies.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. Before handing them out, also check that each individual wrapper is intact, so your guests are genuinely getting a sealed portion.
No. Stroopwafels are sweet biscuits, not savoury snacks. You can serve them as a separate sweet treat with coffee or tea, and work out how many you need independently of the savoury bites.
