A family pack is a good choice if you share stroopwafels at home and pack a portion yourself before heading out. If you want a sealed pack for a single trip, look for a duo or a pack of two. Whichever you choose, check the number of waffles, the weight and the label for the exact variant.
Want to keep a supply at home and decide each time who takes a stroopwafel with them? A pack of 12 is one option. Albert Heijn lists 12 of its butter stroopwafels at 468 g, while ALDI lists a pack of 12 at 378 g. So the same number of waffles doesn’t necessarily mean the same total weight.
If you’d rather not put an opened family pack in your gym bag, a sealed duo is more practical. PLUS lists a 78 g Daelmans duo, while Jumbo offers Kanjers packs containing four pairs of stroopwafels.
Compare the ingredients and allergens for the exact variant, rather than relying on the brand name alone. The regular stroopwafels we checked list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya; information can vary between products.
First, decide whether you mainly want stroopwafels for the biscuit tin or a sealed portion to take with you. Then check the weight and nutritional information for the variant you actually plan to buy.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| A supply for home | Compare the number of waffles and the total weight; pack a portion separately at home to take with you. | If I’m filling the biscuit tin for several people, I want enough waffles for different occasions. For around 42% of consumers, having a shared supply at home comes first. |
| A sealed portion to take with you | Check whether the pack contains individually wrapped duos and how many waffles you’ll get in each sealed pack. | I want to put a single sealed snack in my gym bag without opening the rest of the pack. A defined portion to take with you is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Label and nutritional information | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g for the exact variant, and per portion if listed. | If I need to check ingredients or compare portions, I need information that applies to the pack I’ve chosen. This check matters most to around 25% of consumers. |
A pack of 12 gives you a supply at home, but it doesn’t automatically come in separate sealed portions for taking with you.
Pack the amount you want in a sealable container at home, or choose a duo if a sealed pack to take with you is essential.
Twelve stroopwafels can weigh 468 g, as in the Albert Heijn variant mentioned here, or 378 g, as in the ALDI pack. So the number of waffles doesn’t tell you how much product is in the pack.
Compare both the number of waffles and the total weight before choosing a pack for the biscuit tin.
Ingredients and allergens vary between stroopwafel variants. Information on another product from the same brand doesn’t tell you what’s in the pack you’re holding.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack of the exact variant you’re buying.
The product name alone doesn’t mean a stroopwafel serves a specific purpose after exercise. A duo may also contain a different amount from a single waffle.
Check the nutritional information and the weight of the portion you actually plan to take with you.
Daelmans offers a pack of 10 stroopwafels for home and an individually wrapped 78 g duo for taking with you, as listed by PLUS.
Albert Heijn lists a pack of 8 at 310 g, as well as butter stroopwafels in a pack of 12 at 468 g.
Jumbo’s own-brand range includes butter stroopwafels at 468 g and mini stroopwafels at 300 g.
Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels as 4 × 2 waffles, weighing 320 g in total.
ALDI lists a standard pack of 12 stroopwafels at 378 g, as well as mini stroopwafels at 300 g.
These Kanjers packs are options if you want to buy several stroopwafels for home and take some with you. If you need a separate sealed portion for your gym bag, check how the waffles are packed inside your chosen variant.

Yes, if you share the stroopwafels at home and pack a portion yourself before heading out. If you’d rather take a sealed pack without opening the family pack, a duo or a pack of two is a better fit.
As well as the number of waffles, check the total weight. Albert Heijn lists its pack of butter stroopwafels at 12 waffles and 468 g, while ALDI lists 378 g for a pack of 12.
Read the label for the exact variant: the regular stroopwafels we checked include ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, designated allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredient information on the label.
No, don’t assume that: the regular stroopwafels we checked list wheat or another cereal containing gluten. If you’re looking for a gluten-free variant, check that it is explicitly labelled as such and read the ingredients and allergen information for the product you choose.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen and seal it properly after use. For the butter stroopwafels we checked, Albert Heijn advises storing them in a cool, dry place and sealing the pack securely after use.
