For a late-night snack you can portion out one waffle at a time, a plain stroopwafel is an obvious choice. If you’re looking to give someone a little chocolate treat, consider a chocolate-covered version. A stroopwafel isn’t a box of individual chocolates, so if that’s the kind of gift you have in mind, compare the specific packs available. Whatever you choose, check the portions, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the pack you buy.
If you want to save the rest for later, the number of portions and the storage instructions matter. Albert Heijn lists AH Stroopwafels as containing ten portions and advises keeping the pack tightly closed in a cool, dark, dry place.
If you’d like to give someone a chocolate-covered waffle rather than a standard multipack, compare the presentation and the number of waffles. The Daelmans version described by Albert Heijn comes in a pack of four chocolate-covered stroopwafels.
If you have dietary requirements or need to check for allergens, the information for the specific product matters — not just the brand name. Check the ingredients and allergens on the current pack before buying.
First, decide whether you’re after a stroopwafel to eat or a box of individual chocolates to give as a gift. Then compare the portions, presentation and labelling of the specific packs available.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and storage | Check the number of waffles, the portion size and the storage instructions for an opened pack. | For a late-night snack, I want to be able to have one waffle and save the rest for later. Around 45% of consumers prioritise portions and storage. |
| Chocolate and gift presentation | Check whether the pack contains plain waffles, chocolate-covered waffles or individual chocolates, and how many pieces it contains. | For a small gift, I want to know whether I’m giving someone a chocolate-covered waffle or individual chocolates. For around 33% of consumers, the chocolate and gift presentation matters most. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact product you’re buying. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to read the label on that pack. This is the top priority for around 22% of consumers. |
A chocolate-covered waffle and individual chocolates are different products. This matters especially if the recipient is expecting a box of chocolates.
Before comparing products, decide whether you want to give a snack waffle, a small pack of stroopwafels or individual chocolates.
Plain and chocolate-covered stroopwafels may have different ingredients and allergen information. A dietary claim on one product doesn’t automatically apply to other versions.
Check the current pack for the flavour, coating and pack size you’ve chosen.

A vegan claim alone isn’t enough to confirm that it is. Albert Heijn describes AH Stroopwafels as vegan, but says the same version may contain milk and lactose. Check the current allergen information.
Follow the storage instructions for the product you’ve bought. For AH Stroopwafels, Albert Heijn advises keeping the pack tightly closed in a cool, dark, dry place; other versions may have different instructions.
No. Check the date and the instructions on the pack first. For AH Stroopwafels, Albert Heijn says the product is often still good after the date and advises checking its appearance and smell, then tasting it. Don’t eat it if the packaging or product looks or smells unusual.
