Choose individually wrapped stroopwafels if you want to take one biscuit with you and keep the rest sealed. A pack of two is a better choice if you plan to eat or share both during the same snack break, but the second waffle won’t be individually wrapped. For either option, check the label on the exact product for ingredients, allergens and nutritional information.
Which pack is right for you?
If you want to take one stroopwafel with you
If you want a biscuit for your bag or desk drawer, an individually wrapped pack is a good fit: the remaining stroopwafels stay unopened. Look for the words ‘individually wrapped’, rather than just checking the total number in the box.
If you want to share or eat two stroopwafels
A duo pack could be just right for a coffee break with two biscuits. However, ‘packed in pairs’ means both stroopwafels are in the same wrapper.
If you read labels carefully
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional information influence your choice, check the exact product. The brand or the number of biscuits in each wrapper won’t tell you what’s in the stroopwafel.
What should you look for when choosing?
Individually wrapped
A good fit if: you want to take one stroopwafel with you without opening a wrapper containing a second one.
The trade-off: the Daelmans 24 × 1 variant is a box of 24; consider whether that quantity suits how often you eat them.
Packed in pairs
A good fit if: two stroopwafels are the snack you have in mind, or you want to share them straight away.
The trade-off: once opened, the second stroopwafel won’t be in its own sealed wrapper.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a duo pack contains two separate portions
With ‘packed in pairs’, two stroopwafels come together in one wrapper. It’s less suitable if you want to take one with you and keep the other sealed.
Check how many biscuits are in each individual wrapper, not just the total number in the box.
-
Assuming every variant has the same ingredients
The pack format tells you nothing about the ingredients or allergens in a particular stroopwafel. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be listed on the labels of pre-packed foods.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack of the exact product you choose.
-
Assuming a product listing means it’s in stock
A pack format described online may not be available when you place your order. Jumbo listed the 8 × 29 g variant as no longer available, while Joybuy’s listing for Kanjers 8 pieces said that the variant was out of stock.
Just before ordering, check that the exact product is available and can be delivered or collected at your location.
Brands to consider
Daelmans
Daelmans Stroopwafels lists a 24 × 1 pack, with one stroopwafel per wrapper, as well as an 18 × 2 duo pack.
- The 24 × 1 description makes it clear that each biscuit is individually wrapped, which is handy if you want to take one with you.
- A box of 24 may be more than you want to buy for occasional use.
Jumbo
Worldwide Holland describes Jumbo Stroopwafel 8 × 29 g as individually wrapped.
- Eight separate portions make this a smaller pack overall than a box of 24.
- Jumbo listed this 8 × 29 g variant online as no longer available; check current availability before relying on it.
Kanjers
The product information for Kanjers Original Stroopwafels, 8 pieces, says they are packed in pairs.
- The duo pack is easy to distinguish from a pack with one stroopwafel per wrapper.
- This pack of 8 isn’t suitable if you want to take each stroopwafel with you individually wrapped.
Comparing pack formats
This order compares the variants mentioned according to how suitable their pack format is for taking one stroopwafel as a snack. It isn’t an independent ranking of taste or quality; check availability for each exact variant separately.

Stroopwafels on Joybuy
If you want to take one stroopwafel from this Joybuy selection, check whether each waffle in this pack of 10 has its own wrapper. The number of pieces alone doesn’t confirm how they’re wrapped.

Frequently asked questions
Does ‘packed in pairs’ mean each stroopwafel has its own wrapper?
No. Kanjers Original Stroopwafels, 8 pieces, contains two waffles in each wrapper. If you want to take one sealed biscuit with you, look for a clear description such as ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘× 1’.
Do the remaining stroopwafels stay sealed in an individually wrapped pack?
Yes, as long as their individual wrappers remain intact. Daelmans describes this as a benefit of its individually wrapped variant; follow the storage instructions on the pack too.
Where can I check the allergens in stroopwafels?
Read the allergen information on the pack of the exact product you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be listed on the labels of pre-packed foods; don’t rely on information for another stroopwafel from the same brand.
Does an individual wrapper tell me anything about the nutritional value?
No. The number of stroopwafels in each wrapper describes the packaging, not the ingredients. Read the nutritional information for the variant you choose, and when comparing products, check the amounts per 100 g and per serving.
