Sharing treats on moving day
If you want to offer helpers a sealed stroopwafel without opening a shared bag, look for a pack with one wafer per portion. Daelmans explicitly states that its 24x1 box contains individually wrapped wafers.
Which pack works best for you?
Planning supplies for a shared kitchen
If you’re keeping stroopwafels for several occasions or housemates, compare the number of portions with the storage space available, the best-before date and the storage advice for your chosen pack.
Housemates keeping an eye on allergens
If you’re sharing stroopwafels with someone who has a food allergy, check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety. For example, the Daelmans 24x1 product page lists wheat, milk and soya; this doesn’t tell you which allergens are in other products.
What should you look for when choosing?
Individually wrapped
When: you want a sealed stroopwafel for each helper, bag or snack break.
Consider: a box of individually wrapped portions means more individual wrappers. The Daelmans 24x1 box also contains 24 wafers, which may be more than you need.
Sharing pack or bag of minis
When: you want to enjoy the stroopwafels together and don’t need each wafer in its own wrapper.
Consider: ‘mini’ describes the size, not the inner packaging. Check this separately if you still want sealed portions.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Read the full pack notation: for Daelmans, 24x1 means one wafer per pack, while 18x2 means two wafers per pack. | If I’m giving helpers a snack to take away, I don’t want to open a sharing pack each time. Around 36% of consumers prioritise one sealed wafer per occasion. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the information for the exact variety and on the pack you receive. | When I share stroopwafels with housemates, I need to know whether the product I’ve chosen contains any allergens that affect them. For around 29% of consumers, this is their first concern. |
| Stocking up and storage | Compare the number of wafers with the space available; check the best-before date and follow the storage advice on the pack. | Supplies for several days need to fit in my new kitchen and stay in good condition until I finish them. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Sharing together | Decide whether an opened sharing pack will suit the way you’ll use it, or whether everyone needs an individually wrapped wafer. | If we’re eating the stroopwafels together straight away, I don’t need an individual wrapper for each one. This is the main consideration for around 14% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack means one wafer per pack
Daelmans uses both 24x1 and 18x2: with the second notation, each pack contains two wafers. So the total number alone doesn’t tell you how many sealed portions you’ll get.
If you want to hand out exactly one wafer per portion, check the number after the x too.
-
Assuming mini wafers are always individually wrapped
PLUS describes its Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel as a sharing bag; ALDI lists BISCOTTO Mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack. The size alone tells you nothing about the inner packaging.
Only choose minis for individual portions if the details for the exact variety explicitly say that each wafer is individually wrapped.
-
Judging allergens by the brand name
The Daelmans 24x1 product page lists wheat, milk and soya. A different flavour or pack needs to be checked separately, especially if you’re sharing the wafers with others.
Before sharing, read the allergen information for your chosen variety and check the label on the pack you receive.
Brands to consider
Daelmans
For its standard stroopwafels, Daelmans lists options including a 24x1 box of individually wrapped wafers. This type of pack is worth considering if you want to hand out sealed portions.
- The Daelmans product page lists 24 individually wrapped stroopwafels, each with a diameter of 9 cm.
- Not every Daelmans variety contains one wafer per inner pack: the brand also lists 18x2 and 12x2. Check the exact notation.
Sondey
Lidl Netherlands lists Sondey butter stroopwafels in a pack of 12, weighing 480 g. They’re an option to consider if individual portions aren’t a requirement.
- The number of wafers and pack weight are listed for this Sondey product.
- If you want one sealed wafer per person, check the inner packaging for the exact variety.
BISCOTTO
ALDI Netherlands lists BISCOTTO Mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack, a different format from standard stroopwafels in a 24x1 box.
- The mini size and pack weight are listed for this product.
- Don’t assume minis are individually wrapped; check how many wafers there are in each inner pack.

Frequently asked questions
Does ‘mini’ mean each stroopwafel is individually wrapped?
No. ‘Mini’ refers to the size of the stroopwafel, not the inner packaging. Check whether the details for the exact variety explicitly say ‘individually wrapped’ or use a notation such as 24x1.
Which allergens does Daelmans list for its 24x1 stroopwafels?
The Daelmans product page lists wheat, milk and soya for the 24x1 variety. Before sharing, also read the label on the pack you receive, and don’t assume other varieties have the same ingredients.
How should I store stroopwafels after moving?
Follow the storage advice and best-before date on the exact pack. PLUS advises storing its Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel sharing bag ‘in a cool, dry and dark place’; check the label on any other pack.
What product information should I check before ordering online?
Check the ingredients, allergens, quantity, nutritional information and any special storage instructions for your chosen stroopwafels. According to Ondernemersplein, mandatory label information for prepacked food must also be available online; compare it with the label when your order arrives.
