Want to hand out small portions during a film night without opening all the stroopwafels at once? Choose a pack in which each waffle is individually wrapped. A twin pack is a better fit if you want two larger waffles in each opened pack. A sharing bag is handy for snacking together, but any mini waffles left over won’t be individually sealed. Before you buy, check the pack size, and read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack before serving them to guests.
If guests are eating at different times or don’t all want the same amount, individually wrapped waffles mean you only need to open the portions you need. Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, as individually wrapped. Check that the version you buy comes in the same packaging.
A pack of two waffles could be a good choice if guests can share a pack or each want a larger waffle. Jumbo lists Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels in a pack of 4 x 2; Albert Heijn lists the same pack size for the Daelmans 4-pack.
If someone has an allergy or prefers a particular portion size, the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack you buy are what matter. For example, Jumbo lists wheat, milk, soya and egg among the ingredients in Kanjers, and states that the product may contain nuts.
First decide whether each guest needs their own sealed waffle, or whether a pack of two or an opened sharing bag will do. Then compare the number of portions with the label on the pack you’re actually planning to buy.
When to choose them: Choose this size if you want to hand out small, individually sealed portions.
The trade-off: One mini waffle is a smaller portion than a large stroopwafel; check that the version you want is available.
When to choose them: Choose a twin pack if two larger waffles in each opened pack suit your group.
The trade-off: You’ll open two waffles at a time, even if someone only wants one.
When to choose one: Choose a sharing bag if guests can help themselves from the same pack.
The trade-off: Once opened, the bag doesn’t provide individually sealed portions for later.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portions | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ and check how many wrappers are in the pack. ‘4 x 2’ means two waffles per pack. | If guests are helping themselves at different times, I don’t want to open the whole pack straight away. For around 37% of consumers, being able to hand out individual portions is the top priority. |
| Size for each snack | Compare the number of waffles with the weight of each one; a twin pack isn’t the same as a single portion. | For a larger snack, I want to know whether two waffles from one pack will be shared. Around 27% of consumers give this size the highest priority. |
| Quantity for the group | Count how many snack portions you need and compare this with the number of waffles or packs, so there’s enough for everyone. | I want to put out enough stroopwafels without having lots left over. This is the main consideration for around 18% of consumers. |
| Label and portion size | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack. Compare the sugar and energy per portion with the portion size shown on the same label. | When I’m serving guests, I want to know what’s in the waffle I’ve chosen and how much counts as one portion. This is the most important consideration for around 18% of consumers. |
The word ‘mini’ describes the size, not the wrapper. Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes as individually wrapped, while PLUS sells Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels in a sharing bag of 25.
If sealed portions matter, check the pack to make sure each waffle has its own wrapper.
A pack of two waffles doesn’t determine how much someone will eat. For Kanjers, Jumbo lists the nutritional information for a 40 g portion as 196 kcal and 15.1 g of sugars.
Check the portion size used on the label and compare it with what you want to serve.
Ingredients and statements such as ‘may contain’ vary from product to product. For Kanjers, Jumbo lists egg, milk, wheat and soya among the ingredients, and says the product may contain nuts.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you buy. If the information a guest needs isn’t clear, don’t rely on the product photo alone.
A product page may show the packaging format even if the item can’t currently be ordered. The Jumbo page for the individually wrapped Mini Stroopwafeltjes says they’re no longer part of its online range.
Before buying, check current availability with the retailer or for your chosen delivery address.
These examples are mainly useful for comparing pack sizes; the brand name alone won’t tell you whether each waffle is individually wrapped.
Albert Heijn lists a Daelmans Stroopwafels 4-pack with 4 x 2 waffles. PLUS also lists a sharing bag of Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels containing 25 waffles.

Jumbo Mini Stroopwafeltjes are described as 18 individually wrapped waffles weighing 8 g each.
Lidl Nederland lists Sondey Roomboter stroopwafels in a pack of 12 weighing 480 g, and Mini-roomboter stroopwafels with around 37 waffles weighing 316 g.
ALDI Nederland lists BISCOTTO Mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack.
These Kanjers options come in different quantities. Choose according to how many waffles you need, and check the specific option to see whether it’s packed individually or in pairs for your film night.

A pack of 10 stroopwafels to match to the number of guests. If you want to give each guest a sealed waffle, check the pack to see whether this option is individually wrapped. Also read the ingredients and allergen information before serving them to guests.

This option contains 8 waffles and could suit you if you want to hand out or share packs of two. Check the pack size on the one you buy: two waffles per pack aren’t individually sealed portions. If any guests have allergies, read the label.
No, ‘mini’ only describes the size. Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes as individually wrapped, while PLUS sells Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels in a sharing bag of 25. So check the number of individual wrappers, not just the number of waffles.
Choose individually wrapped waffles if you want to hand out one sealed portion at a time. Choose packs of two if two waffles in each opened pack suit your group. Also check the size of each waffle: a mini waffle and a larger stroopwafel aren’t the same portion.
Read the allergen information for the specific stroopwafels you’re buying, including any warning about possible traces. For Kanjers, Jumbo lists wheat, milk, soya and egg among the ingredients, and says the product may contain nuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens which must be declared should be clearly identified in the ingredients list.
Only compare them once you’ve checked whether the figures are per 100 g, per waffle or per portion. For example, Jumbo lists 15.1 g of sugars for a 40 g portion of Kanjers; a figure for one 8 g mini waffle is based on a different amount. Check the label on the pack you buy.
Follow the storage instructions and date on the specific pack. Any waffles left in a sharing bag won’t be individually sealed; close an opened pack according to the instructions on the packaging.
