If you want to take one sealed wafer with you
For a single Easter treat, you don’t want to open a whole bag first. Check whether each individual wrapper really contains just one stroopwafel: a ‘duo pack’ means there are two in each wrapper.
Which pack is right for you?
If you’re stocking up for several occasions
If you’d like to enjoy more stroopwafels later, a bag containing several may suit you. Before you open it, think about what you’ll do with the remaining wafers.
If you need to check ingredients carefully
Compare the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you’re buying. The examples described by Jumbo and PLUS include wheat, milk and soya; another variant may have a different recipe.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide how many wafers you want to open for each occasion. Then check the quantity in the outer pack and read the ingredients for your chosen variant.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Wrapper and portion | Count the wafers in each wrapper and check whether they’re mini or larger-sized. | I want to take one wafer with me and leave the rest sealed; a duo pack or mini doesn’t meet that need in the same way. Around 45% of consumers prioritise having one individually wrapped wafer. |
| Pack quantity | Compare the number of wafers with the occasions you have in mind. | If I want to eat stroopwafels after my Easter treat too, a bag is useful, even if the wafers aren’t individually wrapped. Around 33% of consumers prioritise having a suitable supply. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variant, including any ‘may contain’ statements. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I can only choose once I’ve read that variant’s label. This is the first thing around 22% of consumers look for. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a duo pack has one wafer per wrapper
A sealed duo wrapper is handy to take with you, but it contains two wafers. That matters if you want to open exactly one.
Check how many wafers are in each wrapper, rather than relying on words such as ‘to go’ on the pack.
-
Using an old product page to plan your Easter purchase
For the Daelmans pack of 36 and the individually wrapped minis mentioned, Jumbo says they’re no longer available in its online range.
Check the current product page or the shelf at the shop where you plan to buy shortly before making your purchase.
-
Assuming allergen information based on the brand or a previous purchase
Ingredients vary between variants, and recipes can change. The stroopwafel examples described include wheat, milk and soya; Jumbo also states that its minis ‘may contain nuts’.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the product you’re actually buying.
Brands and shops to consider
Daelmans
In the supermarket examples described, Daelmans appears as both a duo pack and a bag of stroopwafels.
- PLUS lists a Daelmans duo pack and a bag of 10.
- The Daelmans pack of 36 on Jumbo’s website is no longer available in its online range. If you want a single portion, check how many wafers are in each wrapper of a current variant.
Jumbo
Jumbo shows examples of both mini stroopwafels and a larger pack of stroopwafels.
- The minis described were individually wrapped and weighed 8 g each.
- Jumbo says these minis are no longer available in its online range. A listing of 8 x 29 g for another variant does not, on its own, confirm that the wafers are individually wrapped.
PLUS
PLUS lists stroopwafels in bags, as well as a Daelmans duo pack.
- The bags shown contain 10 wafers; the Daelmans duo pack has two wafers per wrapper.
- Check the pack of your chosen variant if the number of wafers per wrapper is decisive.
ALDI
ALDI lists a pack of 12 stroopwafels with a total weight of 378 g.
- The quantity listed is useful if you’re stocking up for several occasions.
- Check the pack if you want to know whether the wafers are individually wrapped.
Sondey (Lidl)
Lidl lists stroopwafels in its Sondey range of biscuits and snacks.
- This gives you a starting point for checking the pack format you want at Lidl.
- Check the wrappers and label for the exact product. Lidl doesn’t provide a general online list of ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for its food products.
Stroopwafels on Joybuy
These Kanjers packs contain 10 and 8 stroopwafels respectively. For a solo Easter treat, the key point is how many wafers you take out of each wrapper at a time; check this for each variant before buying.

Kanjers Extra Delicious Stroopwafels, 10 pieces
A pack for several occasions. If you want to take exactly one sealed wafer with you each time, check whether all 10 stroopwafels have their own wrapper. Also check the weight per wafer if size is important to you.
Image unavailable
Kanjers Original Stroopwafels, 8 pieces
A pack of 8 stroopwafels to enjoy over several occasions. If you want to take a portion with you without opening the rest, check whether the wafers are packed in pairs and whether each set is individually sealed. A duo pack isn’t suitable if you want exactly one wafer per wrapper.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if a stroopwafel has one wafer per wrapper?
Check the number of wafers in each individual wrapper specifically. ‘To go’ isn’t precise enough, and a duo pack contains two wafers per wrapper. Check the size too if you’re not looking for a mini.
Which allergens are listed for the stroopwafels described?
The Daelmans and PLUS examples described list wheat, milk and soya. The Jumbo minis described also state ‘may contain nuts’. This information applies to those variants; read the label on the pack you’re buying before making your choice.
Which product details should I check online and on the pack?
For the exact stroopwafel variant, check the ingredients, allergens, quantity, best-before date, storage instructions and nutritional information. According to Ondernemersplein, legally required label information must also be available online when a product is sold online; compare the product page with the pack you receive.
