Sharing over coffee or with guests
If you’d like guests to help themselves to smaller stroopwafels, a sharing bag of minis is worth considering. For example, PLUS offers a bag of 25 Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel.
Which size is right for you?
Lunchboxes and on the go
Individually wrapped portions make stroopwafels easier to take with you. Just check that the number of waffles in each wrapper suits what you want to pack.
If you need to check the label
If you have an allergy or follow a specific diet, the information for the exact variety matters. A plant-based label doesn’t replace the ingredients list or any allergen warnings.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you’ll mainly serve the waffles at the table, take them along as individual portions or keep them in the cupboard. Then compare the pack size and the label.
Sharing bag of minis
Best for: a coffee table where several people can help themselves to smaller waffles.
Keep in mind: a sharing bag doesn’t necessarily contain individually wrapped portions to take with you.
Wrapped portions and twin packs
Best for: lunchboxes and occasions when you want to portion them out in advance.
Keep in mind: a twin pack contains two waffles, not one.
Larger pack of regular waffles
Best for: sharing regularly at home or in the office.
Keep in mind: the total pack weight doesn’t tell you how many individual waffles or portions you can serve.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing and serving | Check the number of waffles and whether they’re regular or mini stroopwafels. | If I’m putting waffles out for guests, I want everyone to be able to help themselves to a small one. Around 40% of consumers put sharing first. |
| Portions to take with you | Check how many waffles are in each wrapper; a twin pack contains two. | For a lunchbox, I want to portion the waffles out in advance without taking a large bag. Convenience on the go comes first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Keeping a supply at home | Compare the number of waffles or portions and the weight per portion, not just the total weight. | For regular coffee breaks at home, I want to know how many portions the pack contains. For around 20% of consumers, pack size is the main consideration. |
| Label and dietary requirements | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety, including warnings about possible allergens. | If I need to account for an allergy or choose a plant-based option, I check the label first. Suitability is the most important factor for around 10% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Looking only at the total weight
Weight alone doesn’t tell you how a pack is divided into portions. Jumbo lists its 468 g pack of butter stroopwafels as containing twelve portions, while a sharing bag of minis and a twin pack are arranged differently.
Also compare the number of waffles, the stated number of portions and the number of waffles in each wrapper.
-
Counting a twin pack as one waffle
Two waffles in one wrapper can be handy to take with you, but they’re not right if you want to give everyone exactly one wrapped waffle.
Check the pack size before deciding how many wrappers you’ll need.
-
Assuming plant-based means allergen-free
Albert Heijn labels its AH Terra Plant-Based stroopwafels as vegan, but the product information also says they may contain milk and lactose.
If you have an allergy, read all the information on the current pack. Don’t rely on the plant-based label alone.
-
Assuming an old product listing is still current
Jumbo states that its 8 x 29 g pack of stroopwafels is no longer part of its online range. So a size you’ve seen before may not be available to order now.
Check the current product page or the shop shelf before buying.

Frequently asked questions
Which multipack is handy for a lunchbox?
A pack with individually wrapped portions is handy if you don’t want to keep taking waffles from a shared bag. Check how many waffles are in each wrapper: a twin pack contains two.
When should I choose mini stroopwafels to share?
Mini stroopwafels are a good fit for a table where several people can help themselves to a smaller waffle. PLUS describes its 25-piece bag of Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel as suitable for sharing. If you need individual portions to take with you, check the packaging separately.
Where can I check the allergens in stroopwafels?
Read the allergen information on the current pack of the exact stroopwafels you want to buy. Also look for any warnings about allergens the product may contain, especially if you’re buying for someone else.
Is a vegan stroopwafel suitable for someone with a milk allergy?
The vegan label alone doesn’t tell you that. Albert Heijn says its AH Terra Plant-Based stroopwafels may contain milk and lactose. If you have a milk allergy, check all the allergen information on the current pack.
