When planning a sharing occasion, start by considering how many people will be eating and what size portions you’d like to serve. A pack containing twelve regular stroopwafels or portions works well for sharing with a group; mini stroopwafels make it easy to offer smaller portions, while a pack of eight may suit a smaller gathering. Always check the current ingredients and allergen information for the variety you choose, especially if others will be eating them too.
If you know how many people will be eating, you can compare the number of items or portions on the pack with your plans. For example, Jumbo lists twelve portions for its 468 g pack, while ALDI lists twelve items for a 480 g pack.
Mini stroopwafels are a good option when you want to hand out smaller amounts. Decide in advance how many to serve at a time: their size doesn’t determine the portion for you.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety you’ve chosen before serving the stroopwafels. Wheat, milk, soya and any warnings about possible traces vary between products.
First, work out how many people will be eating and whether you’d like to serve regular or mini wafers. Then compare the pack contents and check the label for everyone in the group.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough portions | Compare the number of items or portions with the number of people eating; Jumbo lists twelve portions for 468 g and ALDI lists twelve items for 480 g. | When I’m sharing with a group, I want to know whether everyone can have a wafer. Having enough portions is the main concern for around 25% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients list and any warning about possible traces on the pack for the variety you’ve chosen. | If someone in the group needs to avoid an allergen, I want to check the pack before handing anything out. Around 25% of consumers put this check first. |
| Leftovers | If you’re catering for a small group, consider smaller packs too; Albert Heijn lists eight portions for 310 g. | If only a few people will be eating, I don’t want to open more wafers than necessary. Limiting leftovers is the priority for around 20% of consumers. |
| Small portions | Check the size, net weight and stated number of minis; Lidl lists approximately 37 items for 316 g. | I want to be able to give children a small amount without splitting a regular wafer. This is the main requirement for around 15% of consumers. |
| A planned snack time | Decide in advance how many you’ll put out for one sharing occasion, rather than opening the whole pack and leaving it out. | I want to save the stroopwafels for a planned holiday treat. Around 15% of consumers prioritise this kind of planning. |
