Commuters with a short break
Want to take a sealed packet in your bag or coat pocket? Think about whether you want one or two waffles during that break. A twin pack contains two waffles together, not two individually wrapped portions.
Which pack is right for you?
People preparing portions for several occasions
A multipack of sealed twin packs lets you take one pack for each occasion in advance. Jumbo lists Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels as 4 × 2 pieces: that’s several twin portions, not packs containing one waffle each.
People who want to check portions and labels
If you have a stroopwafel as part of your breakfast, check the portion size and nutritional information for the exact product. If you have allergies, also check the ingredients and allergen information on the packet.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start with the number of waffles in each sealed wrapper. This tells you whether you’ll be taking one waffle, a pair or a portion from a larger pack.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portion to take with you | Check whether it says ‘individually wrapped’ or how many waffles are together in one wrapper. A label saying two pieces doesn’t prove that they’re individually wrapped. | If I want one waffle on the go, I don’t want to be left with a second, unwrapped one. For around 42% of consumers, having a sealed portion to take with them comes first. |
| Portion and label | Compare the portion size with the nutritional information per portion or per 100 g, and check the current ingredients and allergen information. | If you have a stroopwafel with breakfast, you’ll want to check the sugars, fibre and allergens in the packet you’ve chosen. For around 33% of consumers, this is the most important consideration. |
| Stocking up and portioning | Check how many sealed packets are in the pack and whether you’ll need to portion the waffles yourself if you buy a large pack. | For several mornings, I want to be able to set aside packets without opening a large pack each time. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this way of organising their supplies. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a twin pack contains two separate wrappers
According to Albert Heijn, Daelmans Stroopwafels Duo contains two waffles in a 78 g pack. If you open the pack for one waffle, the second one is no longer in a sealed wrapper.
Check how many waffles are in each sealed packet. Look specifically for ‘individually wrapped’ if you only want to open one waffle at a time.
-
Treating a large pack as ready-made portions to take with you
PLUS lists Stroopwafels Per Wikkel in a 480 g pack. The product name doesn’t confirm that each waffle has its own inner wrapper.
Choose a large pack only if you’re happy to put a portion in a sealable container or bag yourself.
Portioning them yourself takes preparation, and once you’ve opened the outer pack, the remaining waffles are no longer in their original sealed packaging.
-
Focusing only on convenience and skipping the label
A packet that’s easy to take with you doesn’t tell you which nutritional values or allergens apply to your portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists an average of 189 kcal, 14.7 g of sugars and 0.6 g of fibre for an extra-large 40 g stroopwafel; another product or portion may differ.
Read the nutritional information and allergen details on the packet you’re buying, especially if the stroopwafel will be part of your breakfast.
-
Assuming an old product listing reflects the current pack
Jumbo described Mini Stroopwafeltjes as individually wrapped. This description applies to that specific product and doesn’t tell you how other mini or own-brand stroopwafels are packaged.
When you buy, check the pack format and label for the version you’ve chosen.
Brands and pack formats compared
Daelmans
Daelmans Stroopwafels Duo is worth considering if two waffles together in one pack suit your snack break.
- Albert Heijn lists two stroopwafels with a total weight of 78 g.
- The twin pack doesn’t have a separate wrapper for each waffle. If you have allergies, check the label; the product information lists wheat, milk and soya.
Kanjers
Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels are an example of several sealed twin portions in one pack.
- Jumbo lists this version as 4 × 2 pieces, weighing 320 g in total.
- A twin pack doesn’t contain individually wrapped single-waffle portions. For this version, also check the allergen information on the label.
Jumbo
Jumbo Mini Stroopwafeltjes show why it’s important to check the packaging description for the exact version.
- Jumbo described this mini version, containing 18 × 8 g, as individually wrapped.
- Check whether this version is available, and don’t assume that other Jumbo stroopwafels have the same inner packaging.
PLUS
PLUS Stroopwafels Per Wikkel is worth considering if you want to buy a larger pack and portion the waffles yourself.
- PLUS lists a pack weight of 480 g.
- ‘Per Wikkel’ on its own doesn’t mean each waffle is individually wrapped; check the inner packaging if that matters when taking them on the go.
Stroopwafels on Joybuy
These stroopwafels are a good choice if you want to divide ten pieces between several occasions. If you want to take one sealed waffle with you each time, check before buying whether each waffle has its own wrapper.

Kanjers Extra Delicious Stroopwafels, 10 pieces
For anyone who wants to take stroopwafels along for several snack breaks. If you need one sealed waffle for each occasion, check whether the waffles are individually wrapped. If you have allergies, read the current label, including for possible traces of nuts.
Frequently asked questions
Is each stroopwafel in a twin pack individually wrapped?
No. For the Daelmans and Kanjers versions mentioned, ‘Duo’ means two waffles make up one portion. If you want one sealed waffle for each snack break, check the exact packet for an explicit statement that the waffles are individually wrapped.
Can a stroopwafel replace my whole breakfast?
If you’re thinking of having a stroopwafel for your entire breakfast, don’t judge it on convenience alone. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists an average of 189 kcal, 14.7 g of sugars and 0.6 g of fibre for an extra-large 40 g stroopwafel. Check the nutritional information and portion size of your product to decide how it fits into your breakfast.
Which allergens should I check on a packet of stroopwafels?
Check the allergen information for the exact product, as ingredients vary between versions. The product information for Daelmans Duo lists wheat, milk and soya; the information for Kanjers Originele lists egg, milk, cereals containing gluten and soya, and says the product may contain traces of nuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed on the label of pre-packed foods.
How can I take stroopwafels from a large pack with me?
Put the portion you want in a tightly sealed container or bag, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. A large outer wrapper isn’t the same as individual inner wrappers, so check the packaging before assuming you can take each waffle with you in a sealed wrapper.
