Who are these packs for?

Snacking from the cupboard

You want stroopwafels for several late-night snacks or to share with housemates. In that case, the pack size matters, as does being able to seal and store the rest properly.

Fans of smaller portions

You’d rather have a mini wafer or split a pack across different occasions than reach for a large wafer straight away. The size can help you decide, but you still choose how many to have.

Shoppers who check ingredients

You need to check which allergens a stroopwafel contains before buying, or you’re looking for a product explicitly labelled gluten-free. The label on the exact pack matters more than its size.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with how much you want to store or share. Then consider the size for each snack occasion and check the nutritional information and allergens for the product you’re considering.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Pack size Compare the net weight and think about how you’ll store the wafers after opening. Jumbo lists a 468 g butter pack; PLUS lists a 400 g Korenlanders pack. When several housemates share the same biscuit tin, I want enough wafers for a few evenings without leaving the open bag lying around. Having enough in the cupboard is the main priority for around 37% of consumers.
Size and sharing Check whether you’re buying standard wafers, mini wafers or a twin pack. Lidl lists around 37 Sondey mini wafers in a 316 g pack. For a small late-night snack, I want to choose a few wafers myself or share the pack with others. Around 27% of consumers prioritise being able to share their pack.
Allergens Read the allergen information on the current packaging. If you’re choosing a gluten-free product, check the other ingredients and warnings too. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I can’t rely on a stroopwafel’s name or appearance alone. This is the most important buying consideration for around 18% of consumers.
Nutritional information Compare the nutritional value per 100 g with the amount you actually want to eat; a mini wafer doesn’t automatically mean a smaller overall portion. I want to know how many sugars and how much energy I’ll be having with the number of wafers I choose. Around 18% of consumers prioritise their choice of portion size.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming mini wafers make a smaller snack

    The smaller size doesn’t tell you how many you’ll eat. The amount you choose makes a difference to the nutritional value.

    Decide how many mini wafers you want and check the nutritional information for that exact product.

  • Assuming the allergens from the product name

    A gluten-free label doesn’t mean the product is free from other allergens. Ingredients can vary between different types of standard stroopwafel too.

    Before buying, read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the current packaging.

  • Leaving an opened family-size pack unsealed

    Biscuits can lose quality if they’re not stored properly. This is worth bearing in mind if you want to enjoy a large pack over several evenings.

    Seal the pack well after opening and store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre for biscuits.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

The Duopack is an option if you want to spread your stroopwafels across several snack occasions. PLUS lists this pack as containing 8 wafers.

  • A twin pack offers a different way to enjoy stroopwafels from a bag of standard wafers.
  • Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging for each product.

Albert Heijn

The 310 g AH stroopwafels are a medium-sized pack for anyone who doesn’t need a very large supply.

  • Albert Heijn lists 8 servings for this pack.
  • The stated serving size doesn’t determine how much you have at each snack occasion; check the current nutritional and allergen information too.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists a 468 g butter pack for your cupboard, as well as a separate 240 g stroopwafel product labelled gluten-free.

  • The two options let you choose between a larger pack and a product explicitly labelled gluten-free.
  • Treat the gluten-free product as a separate option and read its full allergen information too.

PLUS

PLUS lists Korenlanders Butter Stroopwafels in a 400 g bag, alongside the Daelmans Duopack.

  • These packs let you compare a larger bag with a twin pack.
  • Don’t choose based on pack size alone if ingredients or allergens are decisive for your purchase.

Sondey

Lidl lists Sondey Mini Butter Stroopwafels in a 316 g pack containing around 37 wafers.

  • The mini size lets you choose a specific number of wafers.
  • Check the nutritional information on the pack for the number of wafers you choose; the word ‘mini’ doesn’t by itself tell you the overall portion size.

Heerlijck Banket

ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Mini Stroopwafels in a 300 g pack.

  • This is another mini option to compare with packs in other sizes.
  • If ingredients and allergens matter to your choice, check the physical label.

Frequently asked questions

Is a larger pack always more convenient for a late-night snack?

No. A larger pack is best if you’ll enjoy the wafers over several occasions or share them, and can store the rest properly. If you’d rather choose a small amount each time, a mini or twin pack could suit you better.

How should I store an opened bag of stroopwafels?

Seal the bag well and store it somewhere cool, dry and dark. This follows the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s storage advice for biscuits; also follow the instructions on the packaging.

Can I rely on the name ‘stroopwafel’ if I have an allergy?

No. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product you’re buying. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be listed on food labels. Any warnings on the packaging also matter when making your choice.

Are any stroopwafels explicitly labelled gluten-free?

Yes. Jumbo lists Lekker Vrij Gluten-Free Stroop Wafels as a 240 g gluten-free option. Check the other ingredients and allergens on the current packaging for this product too.

Does the size tell me enough about the nutritional value of my snack?

No. Check the nutritional information for the stroopwafels you’ve chosen and consider how many you’ll eat. For comparison, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 189 kcal and 14.7 g of sugars for one extra-large 40 g stroopwafel. These figures don’t necessarily apply to a mini wafer or another brand.
