Solo viewers looking for a single snack
You want to open one waffle and leave the others wrapped. Look for the explicit wording ‘individually wrapped’: ‘mini’ or a pack size alone won’t tell you how many waffles are in each wrapper.
Which pack is best for you?
Couples who want to share
You want to open a small pack together. A twin pack containing two waffles, such as the one PLUS describes for Daelmans, could be a good fit if you both want a waffle.
Shoppers who want to check the label
You want to check the ingredients, allergens and serving size before buying. If you have a food allergy, the label on the specific pack matters more than what you remember about a brand or a previous purchase.
What should you look for when choosing?
Check allergens first if they’re relevant to you, then decide how many waffles you want to open at once during a viewing.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Opening one waffle | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ and check how many waffles are actually in each wrapper. ‘Mini’ doesn’t confirm this. | If I’m watching alone, I want to grab one waffle without opening the other wrappers. For around 40% of consumers, having an individual portion is the main priority. |
| Sharing | Check whether each wrapper contains two waffles and how many twin packs are in the outer packaging. | If there are two of us watching, we want to open one wrapper together rather than break into a larger pack. Around 30% of consumers prioritise a portion that’s easy to share. |
| Label and portion | Read the current ingredients and allergen information; check the serving size and compare nutritional information per 100 g if you’re comparing products. | If allergens are a concern for me, I need to be able to check the packaging before buying; I also want to see the serving size. For around 30% of consumers, checking the label and portion size comes first. |
Packaging and storage mistakes
-
Assuming ‘mini’ means individually wrapped
A small stroopwafel doesn’t automatically come in its own wrapper. The number of pieces on the outer packaging also doesn’t tell you how many waffles are wrapped together.
Check whether it explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’ and see how many waffles there are per wrapper.
-
Buying a twin pack when you want one waffle
The Daelmans Duo described by PLUS contains two stroopwafels in one wrapper. When you open it, both waffles are in the same pack.
Choose a twin pack if you want to share two waffles or open them both at once; if you want one waffle individually wrapped, look for an explicit statement that each waffle is wrapped separately.
-
Relying on allergen information from a previous purchase
Ingredients and allergens vary by product. A familiar brand name is no substitute for checking the information on the pack you’re buying.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information every time you buy, including any information about possible traces.
-
Leaving a large pack open
With a larger pack, you’ll have waffles left over after your first viewing. Voedingscentrum advises storing stroopwafels in a tightly sealed pack in a cool, dry, dark place.
Seal the pack properly after use and follow any additional storage instructions on the label.
Brands and product ranges to consider
Daelmans
PLUS describes the 78 g Daelmans Stroopwafels Duo as one wrapper containing two waffles. Albert Heijn also lists a Daelmans 4-pack, with four packs of two.
- The twin-pack format is clear and convenient if you want to open one wrapper together.
- Two waffles in one wrapper isn’t the same as having a separate wrapper for each waffle.
Jumbo
Jumbo explicitly described its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 × 8 g, as individually wrapped.
- That product description shows the wording to look for if you want to open one waffle at a time.
- The product page said this item was no longer available in the online range; check what’s currently available before relying on this variety.
Kanjers
Jumbo lists a Kanjers pack of 4 × 2 stroopwafels, 320 g, as well as a separate variety containing 10 pieces.
- The 4 × 2 format helps you work out how many twin portions are included.
- That format doesn’t confirm that each waffle has its own wrapper. Also check the ingredients and allergens for the variety you choose.
Stroopwafels to share on Joybuy
This Kanjers pack is a good fit for a TV night when you want to share two stroopwafels from one wrapper. If you want a separate wrapper for each waffle, a pack of two won’t meet that need.

Kanjers Original Stroopwafels, 8 pieces
For two viewers who want to open a wrapper together, not for anyone who wants each waffle individually wrapped.
Joybuy’s product information describes eight stroopwafels, packed in pairs.
Frequently asked questions
Are mini stroopwafels always individually wrapped?
No. ‘Mini’ describes the size, not the wrapper. Only assume they’re individually wrapped if the current product information or packaging explicitly says so.
Are two waffles in a twin pack individually wrapped?
No. The Daelmans Duo described by PLUS has two waffles together in one wrapper. That can be handy for sharing, but you open both waffles at the same time.
How should I store stroopwafels from an opened pack?
Store the pack tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, as advised by Voedingscentrum. Also follow the storage instructions on the packaging for your stroopwafels.
Where can I check allergens before buying?
Check the label on the specific variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, 14 specified allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods; don’t rely solely on a previous purchase or the brand name.
