Which pack is right for you?

Guest having one coffee break

Wants a small portion that’s easy to set out or take along. According to Joybuy, Kanjers Original contains eight stroopwafels, individually wrapped in pairs.

Giving a small chocolate gift

Wants a chocolate stroopwafel, not just a classic biscuit to have with coffee. The Daelmans chocolate snack pack described by PLUS contains milk chocolate; check the ingredients and allergens before giving it to make sure they’re suitable for the recipient.

Hosting a small group

Needs several portions to share over coffee. Mini stroopwafels or a multipack could work well, as long as the original allergen information is still available if the wafels are served without their packaging.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide whether you need an individual portion for a coffee break, a chocolate stroopwafel as a gift or something to share with several guests. A box of chocolates is a different product from a chocolate stroopwafel.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters most to
Portions and storage Check how many wafels are wrapped together and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. If I’m planning just one coffee break, I don’t want to open a large pack straight away. A manageable portion is the main consideration for around 31% of consumers.
Chocolate as a gift Check that it’s a chocolate stroopwafel, then read the ingredients and allergen information. If I’m giving someone a little something to enjoy with coffee, the chocolate flavour may matter more than individual portions. This gift preference is the top priority for around 31% of consumers.
Sharing with guests Compare the number of wafels in the pack and decide how to serve them while keeping the allergen information accessible. For a coffee break with others, I want to be able to put out enough small portions. That’s the first consideration for around 23% of consumers.
Quantity and portions Compare the number of wafels in the pack with the number of planned coffee breaks. If I’m buying for several occasions, what matters most is how many portions I can get from one pack. Around 15% of consumers prioritise this.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a chocolate stroopwafel for a box of chocolates

    A chocolate stroopwafel is still a stroopwafel. This matters if the recipient is expecting an assortment of chocolates.

    Choose a chocolate stroopwafel if you want to give them a chocolate-coated biscuit to enjoy with coffee; choose a box of chocolates if you’re looking for a variety of chocolates.

  • Choosing a multipack when you need individual portions for guests

    Mini stroopwafels and larger packs can work well for a shared platter, but they won’t necessarily give each guest their own individually wrapped portion.

    Check how the wafels are packaged if you want to set one aside for each person. If you open a pack, also make sure you can reseal the remaining wafels in line with the storage instructions.

  • Guessing the allergens from the flavour

    The Daelmans chocolate snack pack described by PLUS contains wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk, and may contain nuts. Other varieties may have different ingredients.

    Always read the label on the pack you’ve bought, and keep the allergen information available if you serve the wafels without their packaging.

  • Assuming an online product listing means it’s always in stock

    Ranges can change: the milk chocolate stroopwafels reviewed from Jumbo were no longer listed in its online range.

    Check that your chosen variety is available before buying, and look at the best-before date on the packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Can I serve unpackaged stroopwafels at a coffee station?

Yes, as long as guests can access the allergen information. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that information about allergens in unpackaged foods must be provided to consumers in a way other than on a label. So keep the product information to hand if you remove the original packaging.

Which allergens should I check in chocolate stroopwafels?

Always check the label on the variety you’ve chosen. The Daelmans chocolate snack pack described by PLUS contains wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk, and may contain nuts; this doesn’t automatically apply to other chocolate stroopwafels.

Is online ingredient information enough when buying a gift?

Use the online information to choose a variety, but check the packaging you actually buy before giving it as a gift. Albert Heijn notes that product ingredients, nutritional information and allergen information can change.

How should I store chocolate stroopwafels until coffee time?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. The chocolate stroopwafels reviewed are described as needing to be kept in a cool, dry place; check the instructions for your variety before setting them out in a hotel room.
