Choose a pack with one waffle per wrapper if you want to set aside a single snack break during a solo gaming session and keep the rest sealed. A duo pack is a good choice when you deliberately want to open two waffles; a bag is more convenient for sharing or for several sessions, but you’ll need to set aside your own portion. Whatever you choose, check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
If you’d rather not leave a whole bag beside your keyboard or controller, check how many waffles there are per wrapper. Jumbo lists Daelmans as 36 × 1 piece, while Albert Heijn lists a Daelmans duo as 18 × 2 pieces. Check the packaging to see how the waffles are individually wrapped.
Don’t rely on the flavour or product name alone. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. Even if a stroopwafel is labelled gluten-free, you should still check the other ingredients and allergens.
If you’re buying to share or for several snack breaks, compare the number of waffles and the size of bags, mini waffles and boxes. Jumbo lists standard and mini stroopwafels, among other options; PLUS lists a bag containing 10 caramel stroopwafels. A pack like this doesn’t automatically define a portion for one session.
First decide how many waffles you want to open at a time. Then check that the ingredients suit you and consider how many you want to keep for future sessions.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is it important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion per wrapper | Check whether each wrapper contains one or two waffles, and how many wrappers are in the outer pack. | When I’m gaming alone, I want to be able to grab one waffle without opening the rest. For around 45% of consumers, getting the portion size right comes first. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the current allergen information and compare the nutritional values on the same basis, for example per 100 g or per portion. | If I have a dietary restriction, I need to know whether this particular stroopwafel is suitable for me; a familiar product name isn’t enough. For around 33% of consumers, ingredients and allergens take priority. |
| Pack size | Compare the total number of waffles and their size; check how you can store the rest once opened. | When I’m buying for several sessions or fellow gamers, I want enough waffles without having to choose a new pack every time. Around 22% of consumers put this need to stock up first. |
A duo pack contains two waffles. That matters if you want to open exactly one waffle during a solo session.
Check the number of pieces per wrapper rather than relying on words such as ‘snack’ or ‘duo’ on the front.
For example, Jumbo lists milk, wheat and soya as allergens in a Daelmans stroopwafel. A different variety, or a label such as ‘gluten-free’, doesn’t tell you which other allergens it contains.
Before eating, check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging of the product you’ve chosen.
A bag containing several waffles or mini waffles doesn’t determine how many you’ll eat during one session.
If you like, set aside a portion beforehand and reseal the rest of the pack.
PLUS and Albert Heijn point out that product information, including ingredients and nutritional values, can change.
When your order arrives, check the label on the pack you’re actually going to eat, especially if you need to watch out for allergens.
Dutch supermarket listings show Daelmans stroopwafels in various pack formats, including single-piece packs and a duo.
Albert Heijn lists branded stroopwafels as well as an AH product labelled ‘Gluten-free Organic’.
Jumbo lists its own standard and mini stroopwafels, a Daelmans pack of 36 × 1 piece, and a separate product labelled gluten-free.
PLUS lists Daelmans duos and mini stroopwafels, as well as its own bag of caramel stroopwafels.
Lidl lists Sondey stroopwafels in several varieties, including butter, mini butter, salted caramel and margarine.
KANJERS is worth considering if you’re looking for larger stroopwafels or a two-waffle portion; ALDI lists stroopwafels that are prepacked in pairs.
These two KANJERS packs contain 10 and 8 stroopwafels respectively. If you want to open exactly one waffle at a time, check how many are in each wrapper in the 10-piece pack; according to the Joybuy product listing, the 8-piece variety is packed in pairs.

Consider this pack if you want to buy stroopwafels for more than one snack break; check whether the number of waffles per wrapper suits the portion you want.
If you have allergies, check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging.

A good fit for a gaming session when you deliberately choose two waffles as your portion, but not if you want to open one waffle per wrapper.
According to the Joybuy product listing, the 8 stroopwafels are packed in pairs. If you have allergies, check the current packaging.
No, a duo contains two waffles. Albert Heijn lists the Daelmans caramel jumbo duo as 18 × 2 pieces; if you want to open exactly one waffle per snack break, choose a pack with one piece per wrapper.
Check the allergen information on the current label for the specific product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on prepacked foods; a label such as ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t tell you which other allergens the product contains.
Compare the nutritional values on the same basis, for example per 100 g, and also check the stated portion size. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends using labels to compare products; a smaller pack doesn’t change the nutritional value of the waffle itself.
Yes, especially if ingredients or allergens are important to your choice. PLUS and Albert Heijn point out that product information can change, so check the packaging you actually receive.
