If you want exactly one waffle
You want to have one syrup waffle without opening a large bag. Check how many waffles are in the sealed portion: a duo isn’t the same as one waffle.
Who is the choice of pack important for?
If you want a sealed snack portion
You want a compact pack you can store or take with you, and are happy with two waffles for one snack break. If so, check whether the waffles really are packed in pairs.
If you need to check the label
Ingredients, allergens or nutritional values affect your choice. Read the information on the exact pack you’re buying, even if you’ve already chosen a product online.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you need exactly one waffle in each sealed portion. Then compare the pack size, the amount you’ll keep at home and the information on the label.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed portion | Count the waffles in each sealed pack and check the weight per portion. | If you want exactly one waffle after midnight, a sealed duo won’t help you stick to that portion size. For around 33% of consumers, having a fixed amount is the priority. |
| Sealed pack | Check whether the waffles are packed individually, in pairs or together in one bag. | If you want to store or take a snack with you without opening a large bag, the inner packaging matters; for around 27% of consumers, this is the main consideration. |
| Stocking up at home | Compare the number of waffles and check how the pack should be stored after opening. | If you often take a syrup waffle from your store cupboard, you may prefer a larger bag to a fixed sealed portion. This matters most to around 20% of consumers. |
| Label information | Read the ingredients and allergen information; compare the nutritional values per 100 g and per portion. | If you need to check ingredients or allergens, the label on the variant you choose is what counts. This check is a priority for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a duo for one waffle
PLUS lists a 78 g Daelmans duo; a duo contains two waffles. It isn’t suitable if you want exactly one waffle in each sealed pack.
Check how many waffles are in the inner pack before choosing a duo.
-
Mistaking minis for a fixed single portion
A bag of minis lets you choose how many to have, but it doesn’t set the amount for one snack break in advance.
Take the number you want from the bag and put the rest away again if you want to stick to your own portion size.
-
Relying on a label you viewed earlier
Ingredients and nutritional information can vary by variant or pack. Albert Heijn and PLUS point out that online product information can change.
Read the label on the pack you’re actually using, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens.
Brands to consider
Daelmans
PLUS lists Daelmans syrup waffles as a 78 g duo, in a bag of 10 and as minis in a bag of 25.
- The duo provides a sealed portion if you want two waffles.
- A duo isn’t a pack containing exactly one waffle; check the current label for each variant.
Kanjers
Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles in a pack of 10.
- Jumbo’s product information gives a 40 g portion and 195 kcal for this variant.
- This portion information doesn’t show that each waffle is individually sealed. Check the label for allergen information too.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists own-brand butter syrup waffles in a 468 g pack, as well as a 240 g product called Jumbo Tasty Gluten-Free Syrup Waffles.
- The product names make it easier to look for the variant you want.
- Check the pack size and the current ingredients and allergen information for the specific variant.
Heerlijck Banket
ALDI Netherlands lists 300 g mini syrup waffles and regular syrup waffles in a pack of 12 weighing 480 g.
- You can compare a bag of minis with a pack of regular waffles.
- The size alone doesn’t tell you whether the waffles are individually sealed inside the pack.

Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles, 8 pieces

Frequently asked questions
Is a syrup waffle duo the same as one individually wrapped waffle?
No, a duo contains two waffles in one sealed portion. It could suit you if you want two waffles, but not if you need exactly one waffle in each sealed pack.
How do I compare the nutritional values of different sizes?
First compare the values per 100 g, then look at how much you actually have. The Voedingscentrum lists 189 kcal for one extra-large 40 g syrup waffle; for a different variant, use the nutritional information on its own label.
Where can I find reliable allergen information for my syrup waffles?
Read the allergen information on the pack of the variant you’ve chosen. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, this information must appear on the label of prepacked foods; check for any warnings about the possible presence of allergens too.
Can I rely on the ingredients listed on the online product page?
Use the product page to help you make your choice, but check the pack itself before eating. Albert Heijn and PLUS say that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change.
How should I store syrup waffles for a late-night snack?
Follow the storage advice on the pack. Daelmans’ product information reviewed for this article recommends storing them in a cool, dry place; for the minis, it also says to keep them away from light.
