Choose a large pack if you want to share out stroopwafels yourself; Jumbo and PLUS list packs weighing 468 g and 480 g respectively. Minis are more convenient if visitors can pick up a small waffle, while individually wrapped pairs are ideal for pre-portioned servings. Whichever you choose, check the number of waffles, the current label and how to store the pack until you’re ready to hand them out.
If you want to take one pack and portion out the waffles yourself, check the pack size and the number of pieces or servings. Jumbo lists its butter stroopwafels as 468 g and 12 servings; PLUS offers a 480 g pack. Before you set off, think about how many people will be eating them so you don’t judge by pack size alone.
If you want visitors to be able to pick up a small waffle easily, the size of each waffle matters more than the total pack weight. PLUS lists a bag of 25 Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels. If you’d rather prepare set portions in advance, look for packs with two waffles per packet too.
If someone in your group needs to avoid certain ingredients, the label on the exact product is what matters. The standard varieties from Jumbo, PLUS and Daelmans mentioned here list ingredients including wheat or gluten-containing cereals, milk and soya. Check the pack you’re buying: a different flavour or variety may have a different ingredients list.
