Choose individually wrapped stroopwafels if you want to take or hand out one biscuit at a time. Daelmans offers a box of 36 individually wrapped biscuits. A twin pack is a good fit if you usually have two biscuits at once, while a larger pack is better for sharing at home. If you’re buying a larger quantity, check the best-before date, storage instructions and allergens for the specific product.
If you’re taking biscuits with you or handing them out, a wrapper containing one stroopwafel is more practical than a twin pack or a larger pack that you’ve opened. Daelmans says its 36x1 box contains 36 individually wrapped biscuits.
If several biscuits are eaten from the same pack, the number of biscuits, pack size and whether it can be resealed may matter more than individual wrappers. Albert Heijn, ALDI and PLUS offer examples of packs designed for sharing.
If you have an allergy or prefer to avoid certain ingredients, check the information for the product you’ve chosen rather than relying on the packaging format alone. The product information reviewed lists ingredients including wheat, milk and soya. Check the label on the specific pack.
First, decide how many stroopwafels you want to take from a wrapper each time. Then check whether the quantity, best-before date and product information suit your plans.
Best for: taking one biscuit with you or handing them out individually; Daelmans says its 36x1 box has one wrapper per stroopwafel.
Consider: 36 biscuits make for a sizeable stock, even if you only take one at a time.
Best for: having two biscuits at once or sharing one wrapper; PLUS describes the Daelmans Duo as two stroopwafels per wrapper.
Consider: a twin pack doesn’t give you a separate wrapper for one biscuit.
Best for: a stock to share among several people at home, such as ALDI and PLUS packs containing 12 biscuits or weighing 480 g.
Consider: once opened, store the remaining biscuits according to the instructions on the pack.

A twin pack has two stroopwafels in the same wrapper. That’s different from one biscuit per wrapper.
If you want to pick up each biscuit separately, look for clear wording on the pack such as ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘36x1’.
The products reviewed list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya, but ingredients vary between products and can change.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, read the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack before eating the product.
Individual wrappers don’t make the best-before date and storage instructions any less important. You’ll also need to take care to reseal a large pack once it’s open.
