For a planned tea break with one stroopwafel per person, choose a pack with the right number for your group. Mini stroopwafels give you more flexibility to serve smaller portions. If you want to use the pack for several tea breaks, compare the pack size too, and check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for the exact variant.
Which size is right for you?
Families with a regular tea break
If you want to give everyone one regular stroopwafel, the stated number of biscuits or portions can help you plan. Albert Heijn lists 12 biscuits in its butter stroopwafels, while Jumbo lists 12 portions in its butter variant.
Hosts who want to serve them flexibly
A plate of mini stroopwafels lets guests help themselves to smaller amounts. Lidl lists around 37 biscuits per pack for its Sondey minis; Jumbo lists a 24 g portion for its mini variant.
Shoppers who check labels carefully
If ingredients or allergens are a priority, compare the exact variants. Jumbo lists gluten, wheat, milk and soya in its butter stroopwafels; the information may differ for other recipes.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to set out portions for one tea break or find a pack you can open more than once. Then compare the size, pack contents and ingredients of your chosen variant to see what to look for on the label.
| What to consider |
What to check |
Who it matters to |
| Portions for one tea break |
Compare the number of regular biscuits with the number of people; check whether the label gives a number of biscuits or portions. |
If everyone gets one regular stroopwafel, I want to know in advance whether the pack will be enough for the whole group. Around 31% of consumers are said to consider portion planning their main priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens |
Check the ingredients list, allergen declaration and any relevant ‘may contain’ statements for the exact variant. |
If someone in my group needs to avoid certain ingredients, the recipe matters more than the size. Around 25% of consumers are said to put label checks first. |
| Pack contents for several occasions |
Check the net weight and number of biscuits together, especially when comparing regular biscuits with minis. |
If I want to fill the biscuit tin for more than one tea break, the amount of usable product in the pack matters. This is said to be the first consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
| How you plan to serve them |
Choose between regular biscuits and minis; follow the storage instructions if you plan to reopen the pack. |
When I have a changing number of guests, I’d rather put out a plate so everyone can help themselves to a small amount. Around 19% of consumers are said to put the serving style first. |
Common mistakes
-
Comparing only the number of biscuits
A mini biscuit and a regular stroopwafel are not equal portions. Lidl lists around 37 minis in 316 g, while Albert Heijn lists 12 biscuits in 468 g for its regular butter variant.
Compare the number of biscuits and the net weight, then decide whether you want set portions or a plate for people to help themselves.
-
Assuming every variant uses the same recipe
Allergen information varies by product. A statement about the recipe is no substitute for the allergen declaration; for example, Albert Heijn says its standard stroopwafels may contain milk and lactose.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, check the current label on the exact pack before buying and eating the product.
-
Treating an online product description as the definitive label
Product ingredients and allergen information can change. Albert Heijn and PLUS point out that product information may change.
Use a product page to compare variants, then check the current packaging for ingredients, allergens and storage instructions.
Brands and supermarket own-label options
Daelmans
A classic stroopwafel to enjoy with tea. PLUS lists 10 biscuits and a 50% syrup filling for the Daelmans pack reviewed.
- Daelmans suggests warming this biscuit on top of a mug of hot drink as a serving idea.
- Ten biscuits is not the same as the 12 regular biscuits in the packs reviewed; check how many you need.
Albert Heijn
According to Albert Heijn, its own-label range includes a standard 390 g pack and a butter variant with 12 biscuits weighing 468 g.
- The butter variant gives both the number of biscuits and the net weight.
- Don’t treat the standard and butter variants as the same recipe; check the label on the pack you choose.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists a 468 g butter pack with 12 portions and a 300 g mini variant.
- The listed sizes make it easier to choose between regular biscuits served by the portion and minis to share.
- The regular and mini butter variants reviewed list gluten or wheat, milk and soya; check the exact pack.
Sondey (Lidl)
Lidl lists Sondey regular butter stroopwafels as 12 biscuits weighing 480 g, as well as around 37 minis in 316 g.
- The difference in size makes it easy to choose between individual biscuits and smaller bites.
- Check the packaging for ingredients, allergens and nutritional information; Lidl says it does not provide a complete online list for its food products.
Heerlijck Banket (ALDI)
ALDI describes the pack reviewed as containing 12 butter stroopwafels with a net weight of 480 g.
- The number of biscuits and the weight help you plan portions for tea.
- If you’re choosing based on ingredients or allergens, check the declaration on the exact pack.

Frequently asked questions
How many stroopwafels do I need for a family tea break?
Start by counting how many people will have a regular biscuit. Albert Heijn lists 12 biscuits in the butter variant reviewed; if you choose minis to share, the number of biscuits alone tells you less about the portion each person will get.
Which allergens should I check in stroopwafels?
Check the allergen declaration for the exact variant, as recipes differ. Jumbo lists gluten, wheat, milk and soya in the butter stroopwafels reviewed; this is not a complete list for all stroopwafels.
Can I rely on a product page for allergen information?
Use the product page to narrow down your options, but check the current label before eating the product too. Albert Heijn and PLUS point out that product information may change; Lidl refers shoppers to the packaging for ingredients and allergen information on food products.
How should I store an opened pack of stroopwafels?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose and reseal it as directed after use. For the mini stroopwafels reviewed, Jumbo advises storing them in a cool, dry place; Albert Heijn says to close the packaging securely for its standard stroopwafels.
