If you want to buy one bar for yourself
A bar is something to enjoy over several occasions of your choosing, rather than a single portion by default. Albert Heijn lists a 10 g serving size and 15 servings for its 150 g Delicata bar.
Which option is right for you?
If you’re handing out treats on a treasure hunt
If you need several individual treats, separate syrup waffles are easier to hand out than one unbroken bar. For example, PLUS lists a bag of 10 Daelmans syrup waffles; also check how the waffles are packed inside the bag.
If you need to take allergens into account
When giving treats to others, always go by the packaging of the product you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly stated on the label; also read any warnings about possible cross-contamination.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want a syrup waffle flavour in a bar for one person, or several individual treats for an Easter egg hunt. Then compare the size and label of the specific pack you plan to buy.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Size and portions | Check the net weight and stated serving size. Albert Heijn lists its Delicata bar as 150 g, with 15 servings of 10 g. | If I’m eating the bar on my own, I want to decide how much to have each time. Around 42% of consumers say portioning is their top priority. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and warnings on the current packaging, especially if you’re sharing the product. | When I’m offering something to others, I need to know in advance which ingredients may be relevant to them. For around 33% of consumers, checking the label comes first. |
| Individual treats | Check how many waffles are in the pack and whether they’re wrapped individually or together; you’ll need to break up a bar yourself. | For an Easter egg hunt, I want to be able to put out several treats without breaking up a bar first. Being easy to divide is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a bar is a single snack portion
According to Albert Heijn, the 150 g Delicata bar contains 15 stated servings of 10 g each. So buying one bar isn’t the same as buying one individually wrapped portion.
Check the net weight and serving information if you plan to enjoy the bar over several occasions.
-
Relying only on an online allergen list
Ingredients and warnings can vary between products. The product information for the Delicata and PLUS bars described here includes milk, wheat and soya, among other ingredients.
Before handing them out, read the label on the exact pack you’ve bought, including any warnings about cross-contamination.
-
Planning to use an unbroken bar as several treats
A syrup waffle chocolate bar and a bag of individual syrup waffles need to be shared differently. According to PLUS, a bag of Daelmans syrup waffles contains 10 waffles, but the number of waffles doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped.
Choose based on how many treats you need, and check the inner packaging if you want to put them out individually.
-
Assuming every store will have it in stock
A product listing on a shop’s website doesn’t mean it’s available at your chosen branch. For example, availability for the PLUS syrup waffle chocolate bar was shown by branch.
Check your chosen shop or delivery location before planning the treats for your treasure hunt.

Frequently asked questions
Does one syrup waffle chocolate bar count as one portion?
No, the word ‘bar’ doesn’t necessarily mean that. Albert Heijn lists its Delicata bar as 150 g, with 15 servings of 10 g each. Check the serving information if you want to enjoy the bar over several occasions.
Where should I check for allergens before handing out syrup waffles?
Read the label on the pack you’re actually handing out. The product information for the Delicata and PLUS bars described here includes milk, wheat and soya, among other ingredients; the PLUS variant also lists egg. Also check for any warnings about possible cross-contamination.
How should I store a syrup waffle chocolate bar?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. PLUS says to store its syrup waffle bar in a cool, dry and dark place; Jumbo says to store its Crunchy Stroopwafel Karamel bar in a cool, dry place.
Can I count on finding a bar in store for an Easter egg hunt?
Check availability at the branch or delivery location where you plan to shop. A product listing doesn’t guarantee that it’s available in every shop; PLUS shows availability for its syrup waffle bar by selected location.
