If several people will be dipping into the biscuit tin at different times, a bag of around 400–480 g is a sensible choice. If you’d like to serve stroopwafels on a platter or hand them out in small portions, look for mini versions or wafers packaged in pairs. If anyone has an allergy or needs to eat gluten-free, always check the label on the pack you choose.
If you want to serve stroopwafels at several coffee or tea breaks, the main things to consider are how many wafers are in the pack and how to store them. Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS list large packs weighing between 400 and 480 g.
For a platter of small bites or individual portions, you can compare mini stroopwafels with wafers packaged in pairs. ALDI lists mini versions, while Jumbo lists a Kanjers pack with four portions of two wafers each.
If someone eating with you has an allergy or intolerance, or needs to avoid gluten, check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack you choose. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be listed on the label of prepacked foods.
First decide whether the stroopwafels are mainly for filling the biscuit tin or need to be easy to share. Then check the pack for the information that matters most to your guests.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| How many you need | Compare the net weight, number of wafers and storage instructions. | If you want the biscuit tin to stay full after your visit, you’ll need enough wafers for several occasions. This is the top priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Portions and sharing | Check whether they’re minis, individual wafers or smaller pre-packed portions. | If you want to serve small bites on a platter or hand out wafers individually on Mother’s Day, portion size matters. Around 29% of consumers place the greatest importance on being able to share them. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label on the pack you choose, including any cross-contamination warnings. | If someone can only eat stroopwafels with suitable ingredients, start by checking the specific pack. This is the first concern for around 21% of consumers. |
| Flavour and presentation | Choose between a classic stroopwafel and a listed flavour variation, and check the size too. | If you’d like to serve a different flavour alongside the usual stroopwafels, look for a specific variation. This is the deciding factor for around 14% of consumers. |
A standard bag may be ideal for filling the biscuit tin, but minis or wafers packaged in pairs are a better fit for a platter of individual portions.
Before buying, decide how you want to serve the stroopwafels, then check both the portion format and the total amount in the pack.
A category or brand name won’t tell you which ingredients and allergens are in the specific version you’ve chosen. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked foods should appear on the label.
Before serving, check the ingredients, listed allergens and any warnings on the exact pack.
A listed flavour variation or pack format may not be available at every shop you choose. For example, PLUS lists a caramel and sea salt version that isn’t available at a particular shop.
Check the range at the shop you plan to order from before deciding what to put in the biscuit tin.

A bag of around 400–480 g is suitable for several people and serving occasions if you plan to use the whole pack. PLUS lists a 400 g bag, Jumbo a 468 g bag and ALDI a 480 g bag; also check the number of wafers in each pack.
Yes. If someone eating with you has an allergy or intolerance, check the label on the exact pack you’re serving. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be listed on the label of prepacked foods; check for any cross-contamination warnings too.
Don’t assume they are: check the claim and label for the specific product. Jumbo also lists a separate 240 g Lekker Vrij van Gluten Stroop Wafels version; that product name doesn’t mean other stroopwafels are gluten-free.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. Jumbo says its Stroopwafels met Roomboter should be stored in a cool, dry place; reseal an opened pack securely for another serving occasion.
