If you want to pack one stroopwafel for a break, choose a pack that clearly states each waffle is individually wrapped. A twin pack works when two waffles are intended as one portion. In either case, check the actual portion size, ingredients and nutritional information on the current packaging.
For a single break, an individually wrapped waffle is handy if you don’t want an opened pack left in the school bag. Jumbo describes its mini stroopwafels as individually wrapped, but notes that this product is no longer part of its online range.
A pre-portioned pack can make things easier if two waffles work for each snack. PLUS describes Daelmans’ twin pack as containing two waffles; Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels as 4 x 2 pieces.
The wrapper arrangement isn’t enough when allergens or portion size matter. The Daelmans and Kanjers product information reviewed lists ingredients including wheat or gluten, milk and soya. Always check the current label for the variant you choose.
First decide how many waffles you want to take out of the wrapper for one break. Then compare the portion size and nutritional information on the label, so the packaging doesn’t take the place of checking these details.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Wrapper per waffle | Look for an explicit statement that the waffles are individually wrapped, and check how many waffles are in each inner wrapper. | I want to put one sealed waffle in the school bag without having an opened pack left over after the break. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this type of single-serving wrapper. |
| Portion size and label | Check the weight per portion, the nutritional information per portion and per 100 g, and the ingredients and allergens. | If size or an ingredient matters, I want to know exactly what’s in one snack. Around 33% of consumers prioritise checking the portion size and label. |
| Planning for several days | Count the waffles and the inner wrappers; don’t assume a multipack has one wrapper per waffle. | For several school days, I want to prepare portions in advance, even if a pair is sometimes suitable. Around 25% of consumers prioritise planning portions that are right for them. |
A twin wrapper may contain two stroopwafels together. PLUS describes the Daelmans twin pack as two waffles in one wrapper; ‘4 x 2 pieces’ on Kanjers packs doesn’t confirm that each waffle has its own wrapper either.
Check how many waffles are in each inner wrapper. If you need exactly one sealed waffle, look for the words ‘individually wrapped’ or check the inner packaging before buying.
Those words don’t tell you how many waffles make up one portion or what the nutritional values are for that portion. A larger waffle and a mini waffle won’t necessarily have the same portion size, either.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, and check how many waffles come out of the wrapper for one break.
The Daelmans and Kanjers products reviewed list ingredients including wheat or gluten, milk and soya; the information for Kanjers also lists egg. The ingredients in the pack you choose are what matter.
Before eating, check the ingredients list and allergen information on that pack, especially if a pupil needs to avoid an ingredient.
Jumbo describes its mini stroopwafels as individually wrapped, but also notes that they’re no longer part of its online range. So the wrapper arrangement described doesn’t tell you what you can buy now.
Check the current product listing and the physical packaging before planning portions for several school days.
These examples can help you tell different types of packaging apart. A brand name or retailer alone doesn’t confirm how many waffles are in one wrapper.
An option to consider if you’re looking for a sealed twin pack.
A supermarket with examples of both mini and larger stroopwafels.
A brand to consider if you want to compare packs with pre-counted pairs.
A retailer where the product name doesn’t always make the inner packaging clear.
A retailer with Daelmans pack formats you can compare by wrapper arrangement.
A retailer showing stroopwafels and mini stroopwafels in its displayed range.
These two Kanjers packs contain 10 and 8 stroopwafels respectively. When choosing for a school break, don’t just look at the number of waffles: check whether the inner wrappers suit one waffle or a planned pair.

If you’re considering two waffles as a planned snack for a break, check how they’re grouped inside if the wrapper arrangement matters.
The pack contains 8 pieces. Don’t assume each waffle has its own wrapper; check the nutritional information for the portion you’ve chosen and the current label for ingredients including wheat or gluten, milk and soya.
No. PLUS describes the Daelmans twin pack as one wrapper containing two waffles. If one waffle needs to stay sealed while the other is eaten, check whether they each have their own inner wrapper.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging of the stroopwafels you choose. The Daelmans and Kanjers product information reviewed lists ingredients including wheat or gluten, milk and soya; egg is also listed for Kanjers. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.
Follow the storage advice and best-before date on the current packaging. Daelmans advises storing its waffles in a cool, dry and dark place; the Jumbo product information mentioned advises keeping them cool and dry. Also consider what will be left after opening a wrapper.
No. The wrapper tells you how the waffles are packaged, not what nutrients one waffle contains. Check the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, and decide how many waffles will be eaten during the break.
