Sharing on a day out
For an afternoon of games or a stay in a holiday cottage, you can share mini stroopwafels among a group yourself. PLUS lists a bag of 25 Daelmans minis; Lidl lists around 37 Sondey minis per pack.
Which format works best for you?
Planning lunchboxes and snacks on the go
If you want to prepare portions in advance, check how the waffles are packed inside the outer pack. Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels as 4 x 2 pieces: four pairs rather than one bag of loose waffles.
Putting the label first
If you have an allergy or a specific dietary requirement, ingredients, allergens and nutritional information matter more than the pack format you want. Check the packaging for the exact variety you’re buying; information can vary between products or change over time.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you mainly want to share, take portions with you or find a product with a suitable label. Then compare the formats that fit your needs: a high piece count alone tells you nothing about individual wrapping or portion size.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing small portions | Compare the number of minis and check whether you can reseal an opened bag. | If I want to offer a group something on a day out, I want to decide how many minis each person gets. Around 44% of consumers say sharing is their main priority. |
| Taking portions with you | Look for clear details on how the product is packed, such as 4 x 2 or individually wrapped pairs, and decide whether two waffles make the right portion for you. | For a lunchbox, I want to pack a portion without having to divide up loose waffles at home. For around 33% of consumers, this convenience matters most. |
| Labels and nutritional information | Read the current ingredients and allergen information; compare nutrition per portion with the amount you plan to serve. | If someone needs to avoid specific ingredients or I want to assess the amount of snack food, I read the label first. This is the top priority for around 23% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack contains individually wrapped portions
A sharing bag of minis and a pack of individually wrapped pairs solve different problems. PLUS describes Daelmans minis as a sharing bag, while Jumbo lists Kanjers as 4 x 2 pieces.
Check that the pack you choose clearly states how the waffles are divided inside the outer packaging.
-
Comparing packs by weight alone
Lidl lists around 37 Sondey minis in 316 g, Jumbo lists 4 x 2 Kanjers stroopwafels in 320 g, and ALDI lists 12 Heerlijck Banket stroopwafels in 480 g. Pack weight doesn’t tell you how many separate portions you can take with you.
Compare the number of waffles, their size and how they’re packed before choosing a format.
-
Assuming a product is suitable for your diet based on its name
For its regular Kanjers Original Stroopwafels, Jumbo lists wheat, milk and soya among the allergens and warns that the product may contain nuts. A different format or a separate gluten-free variety will have its own label.
If you have an allergy or dietary restriction, check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the current packaging for the exact variety.
-
Counting a pair as one waffle
An individually wrapped pair contains two stroopwafels. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre provides nutritional information for an extra-large 40 g stroopwafel, but the nutritional value of your pair depends on the waffles you choose and their portion size.
Read the product’s nutritional information and base your calculations on the amount you actually want to hand out or take with you.

Frequently asked questions
Which pack of stroopwafels is best for sharing with a group?
A bag of mini stroopwafels is a good choice if you want to hand out small portions yourself. PLUS lists 25 Daelmans minis and Lidl lists around 37 Sondey minis per pack; also check how to store the rest of the pack once it’s open.
Are individually wrapped pairs of stroopwafels handy for a lunchbox?
Yes, if a pre-packed pair is the right amount for you to take along. Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels as 4 x 2 pieces: four portions of two waffles each, not eight individually wrapped portions.
What should I look out for on allergen labels?
If you have an allergy, read the allergen information on the exact pack, including any warnings about possible traces. For its regular Kanjers Original Stroopwafels, Jumbo lists wheat, milk and soya among other allergens; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the importance of allergen information on the labels of prepacked foods.
Is the ingredients list on a supermarket website enough?
Use the website to compare products, but read the packaging of the product you actually buy if ingredients or allergens matter to your choice. Albert Heijn and PLUS note that product information can change.
How should I store an opened multipack?
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging for your stroopwafels and seal an opened pack well. This lets you enjoy a sharing bag over several snack breaks without assuming that every brand has the same storage instructions.
