Choose stroopwafels in duo packs if you want to prepare pre-portioned snacks for school days. A standard bag of 10 or 12 is a better choice if you prefer to portion them out at home or share them; the number of waffles alone doesn’t tell you how they’re packed inside. If you have dietary requirements to consider, check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack you’re buying.
If you want to prepare snacks for several school days, look for individually wrapped duo portions rather than focusing only on the total number of stroopwafels. For example, Jumbo lists a Kanjers pack of 4 x 2; Joybuy’s product information for the eight-piece Kanjers pack also says they’re packed in pairs.
If you’re sharing stroopwafels between several people or lunchboxes at home, the number of waffles and the total weight are more useful points of comparison than pre-portioned packaging. PLUS lists a 10-piece bag from Daelmans, while ALDI lists a pack of 12 weighing 378 g.
If you’re buying for someone who needs to avoid certain ingredients, check the exact variant and its current label. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the importance of allergen information on labels; a brand or product category name is no substitute for checking.
First decide whether you want individually wrapped portions ready for school days or would rather portion the stroopwafels out at home. If dietary requirements are a consideration, the label on the pack you choose is a separate factor to check.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Duo portions for lunchboxes | Check that the inner packaging is actually arranged in pairs, as with a pack of 4 x 2. | I want to prepare portions for school days without opening a larger bag each time; around 42% of consumers prioritise pre-portioned lunch snacks. |
| Portioning and sharing at home | Compare the number of waffles and total weight of the exact pack, for example, bags of 10 or 12. | I want enough stroopwafels at home to share between several people or lunchboxes. Around 33% of consumers say sharing is their top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the pack you’ve chosen; check any dietary claim on that same variant. | If someone needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s on the pack before putting it in their lunchbox. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label is their top priority. |
Eight stroopwafels might make up four wrapped duo portions, but the total number alone doesn’t confirm how they’re packed. Jumbo explicitly lists Kanjers as 4 x 2.
Look for details of the inner packaging on the pack if you want to prepare portions for each school day.
PLUS lists wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk in the 10-piece Daelmans bag. Check any other variant or pack separately.
Read the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack, including any warnings about cross-contamination.
Albert Heijn notes that product information for its stroopwafels, including ingredients and allergens, may change. An image you looked at previously may not match the pack you buy.
Check the pack you actually receive, especially when an ingredient or dietary claim affects your choice.
These examples can help you identify different packaging formats. Always check the specific variant and the information on the pack within each range.
PLUS lists both a standard 10-piece Daelmans bag and an 8-piece Duopack.
The Albert Heijn range includes AH Stroopwafels, weighing 390 g, and a separately named butter variant with less sugar.
Jumbo lists Kanjers in packs of 4 x 2 weighing 320 g and 10 weighing 400 g, as well as a separately named gluten-free stroopwafel variant weighing 240 g.
Lidl lists Sondey Mini Butter Stroopwafels as a separate product.
ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Mini Stroopwafels weighing 300 g, as well as a standard pack of 12 stroopwafels weighing 378 g.
PLUS lists its own Karamel stroopwafels in bags of 10, as well as the Daelmans formats mentioned above.
If you’re planning ahead for school days, consider the eight-piece Kanjers pack, which Joybuy’s product information says is wrapped in pairs. The 10-piece pack gives you a different quantity to share at home; check the inner packaging if you’re looking for individual portions to take with you.

A pack to share out among several people or lunchboxes at home.
The pack contains 10. Check the inner packaging if you want individual portions to take with you, and read the label on the pack you choose if you have dietary requirements.
Yes, if you want to prepare sealed duo portions for individual school days. Jumbo lists Kanjers as four portions of two stroopwafels. A standard bag of 10 or 12 is better if you’d rather portion them out or share them at home; check whether other packs have the same inner packaging.
Read the ingredients and allergens for the exact stroopwafels you plan to pack. For the 10-piece Daelmans bag, PLUS lists wheat, cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. Check any warnings on the current pack too, rather than relying on a previous purchase.
Use the name to find the right variant, but read the label on that pack before buying. Jumbo lists a separate 240 g pack of Lekker Vrij van Gluten Stroop Wafels; that product name doesn’t tell you anything about other stroopwafels. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains the requirements for using the term ‘gluten-free’ on a label.
Follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the pack you choose. PLUS says the Daelmans Duopack should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. Check the label for any other product, even if the packaging looks similar.
