Which size works best for you?

For a late-night snack, it makes a difference whether you’re putting waffles out to share, saving them for later or taking them with you individually.

Sharing at home when hunger strikes late

If several people will be eating, the number of waffles is a useful place to start. ALDI, for example, lists a pack of 12 stroopwafels; PLUS offers a bag of 25 Daelmans minis for sharing.

Stocking up at home

If you want to dip into one pack at different times, compare the total weight and portion information. Jumbo lists its butter stroopwafels in a 468 g pack with 12 portions.

Checking portions or allergens

If you want to set aside a certain number of waffles in advance, a clearly stated quantity is useful. If ingredients or allergens matter to you, the label on the exact product is what counts; the products reviewed do not all list the same allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide how many stroopwafels you want to share, save or take with you. Then check the portion and labelling information for the pack you’re considering.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Stocking up at home Compare the total weight and the number of waffles or stated portions; these are different ways of measuring the pack. If I want to share from the same pack over several evenings, there needs to be enough for the occasions I have in mind. For around 33% of consumers, having a supply at home is the top priority.
Sharing or taking with you Check whether they’re minis or regular stroopwafels, and how they’re wrapped if you want to take them individually. For a shared snack, I want to be able to serve small bites; for a lunchbox, I want to know how the waffles are wrapped. Around 27% of consumers make this their top priority.
Portions and nutritional information Read the nutritional information per portion and per 100 g, and decide how many waffles you want to set aside. For a late-night snack, I want to choose how many waffles to have in advance rather than keep taking them from the pack. This is the main concern for around 20% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product, including any warnings that are relevant to you. If I need to take an allergy or intolerance into account, I don’t want to rely on the brand name alone. Checking the label is the top priority for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a sharing bag for a personal portion

    According to PLUS, the bag of Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel contains 25 waffles. That’s useful to know when sharing, but it doesn’t determine how many you’ll take from the bag yourself.

    Set aside the number you want in advance, and check the label on this product for its nutritional information.

  • Assuming a stated quantity means the waffles are individually wrapped

    A description such as 4 x 2 pieces tells you how many waffles are in the pack, but doesn’t in itself confirm how each waffle is wrapped.

    Check the wrapping on the current pack if you want to put stroopwafels individually into a lunchbox.

  • Assuming all stroopwafels contain the same allergens

    The products described list different combinations of wheat or gluten, milk and soya; some also mention egg or possible traces of nuts.

    Before buying and eating them, read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, especially if you need to take an allergy or intolerance into account.

  • Not checking online product information against the pack

    Ingredients and nutritional information can vary between products or change over time. A product page is therefore no substitute for the label on the pack you receive.

    When your order arrives, check the best-before date, ingredients, nutritional information and allergens on the packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a large pack or mini stroopwafels for a late-night snack?

A large pack is a good choice if several people will be eating or you’re planning several snack times from the same supply; minis are handy for serving as small bites. PLUS, for example, lists a bag of 25 Daelmans mini stroopwafels. If you want to eat a certain number yourself, set them aside in advance, whatever the size of the bag.

Are stroopwafels in a 4 x 2-piece pack individually wrapped?

The 4 x 2-piece description doesn’t automatically mean they’re individually wrapped. Jumbo lists this quantity for Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels; check the wrapping on the exact pack if you want to take the waffles with you individually.

How should I store an opened pack of stroopwafels?

Follow the storage instructions on the exact pack. The product pages described for Jumbo, Kanjers, Bakker Joop and Daelmans advise storing them in a cool, dry place; the Daelmans product also says to keep them away from light.

Where can I find allergen information for stroopwafels?

Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens in prepacked foods must be clearly stated on the label. Also check for any warnings about the possible presence of other allergens if these matter to you.
