A large pack is a good choice for a group sharing the same supply, as long as you can seal the stroopwafels well after opening and store them somewhere cool and dry. Mini stroopwafels or individually wrapped pairs are more convenient if you want to hand them out at different times. Whatever you choose, check the label on the exact variant for allergen information and storage advice.
A larger pack is worth considering if several campers will be sharing the same supply. Compare the net weight with the number of waffles or portions, and think about how you’ll seal the pack once it’s open. The standard packs listed by Jumbo, Lidl, Albert Heijn and ALDI range from 378 g to 480 g.
Mini stroopwafels or individually wrapped pairs are pack formats worth comparing if not everyone wants a waffle at the same time. PLUS lists a pack of mini stroopwafels, while Kanjers product information at Joybuy describes packs containing two waffles.
If you have an allergy or specific dietary requirements, the exact variant matters. The products listed by Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS differ in their allergen information, so check the pack you’re actually buying.
First, work out how many people will be sharing the same supply and how you want to hand out the waffles. Then check whether you can store the pack properly during your stay and what label information your group needs.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Group supply | Compare the net weight with the number of waffles or portions, and with how much your group expects to eat. | If we’re sharing one supply, I want to take enough without having lots left over. An estimated 36% of consumers say a group supply is their top priority. |
| Handing them out | Consider whether mini stroopwafels or individually wrapped pairs are better suited to separate snack breaks. | When everyone wants a snack at a different time, I want to hand out portions without opening the whole supply each time; an estimated 29% of consumers put this convenience first. |
| Storage | Check the storage advice and make sure you can keep the pack well sealed once it’s open. | I want to keep the waffles dry throughout my stay and seal the rest after opening. An estimated 21% of consumers say this is their main consideration. |
| Label | Read the allergen information for the exact variant and compare the nutritional values per portion if they matter to your choice. | If someone in my group needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what the pack says before buying; an estimated 14% of consumers put checking the label first. |
A shared supply is less convenient if the rest is left open in a tent or bag. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place and keeping them well sealed.
Choose a large pack if you can seal it properly after each snack break, for example in an airtight container.
A description such as ‘made with butter’ or ‘vegan’ doesn’t tell you which other allergens a particular stroopwafel contains or may contain. The listed variants from Jumbo and Albert Heijn have different allergen information.
If you have an allergy, read the ingredients and warnings on the current label for the exact pack.
Jumbo lists a 468 g pack of butter stroopwafels, with 12 portions of 39 g.
Lidl lists Sondey butter stroopwafels as a 12-piece pack with a total weight of 480 g.
Albert Heijn lists AH stroopwafels in a 390 g pack, with ten portions of 39 g.
ALDI lists a pack of 12 stroopwafels with a total weight of 378 g.

Daelmans features in PLUS’s range overview, with products including packs of ten stroopwafels and mini stroopwafels.
No. A large pack is most practical when several people will be sharing it and you can keep the rest well sealed and dry after opening. Mini stroopwafels or smaller portions may be a better fit if you’re handing them out at different times or want to take less with you.
Keep the waffles well sealed in a cool, dry and dark place. This is in line with the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s advice for biscuits. Also follow the best-before date and instructions on the pack you choose.
Read the label for the exact variant, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens. Jumbo lists gluten, milk, soya and wheat in its butter stroopwafels; the AH variant listed contains wheat and soya and may contain milk or lactose.
Compare the nutritional information on the same basis, such as per 100 g or per portion, and check the size of that portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 189 kcal and 14,7 g of sugars for an extra-large 40 g stroopwafel; when buying, use the values on the label for the variant you choose.
