Choose a syrup waffle chocolate bar if you want to use pieces of chocolate with syrup waffle in them, either as a treat for yourself or as an addition to your Christmas bakes. The bars from Albert Heijn and Jumbo weigh 150 and 140 g and each list several portions, so one bar is not the same as one serving. If you want to dip or decorate individual waffles, choose ordinary syrup waffles and check the current allergen information on each product’s label.
Who is this choice relevant to?
If you’re looking for a bar for yourself
You want the flavour of a syrup waffle in chocolate bar form, but you’re also thinking about how much you want to eat at once. The bars from Albert Heijn and Jumbo weigh 150 and 140 g, and neither is labelled as a single serving.
If you want to decorate syrup waffles
You’ll need several individual waffles to dip, drizzle or share. Jumbo shows this idea in a syrup waffle recipe, while multi-packs give you individual bases to decorate.
If you need to check allergens
Compare the ingredients and warnings for the exact product before you buy. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo bars described here list milk, cereals containing gluten and soya, among other ingredients; the full information varies by product.
What should you look for when choosing?
Syrup waffle chocolate bar
Choose this format: if you want to eat chocolate with pieces of syrup waffle in small bites, or add it to your Christmas bakes.
Bear in mind: Albert Heijn’s Delicata bar weighs 150 g and lists 15 portions of 10 g; Jumbo’s bar weighs 140 g and lists around six portions. Neither label suggests that the whole bar is one serving.
Ordinary syrup waffles
Choose this format: if you want to decorate or hand out several whole waffles, as in Jumbo’s recipe for decorated syrup waffles.
Bear in mind: a multi-pack gives you individual waffles, but not the syrup waffle chocolate bar you might have wanted for a treat.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming one bar is one serving
The syrup waffle chocolate bars from Albert Heijn and Jumbo each list several portions. So if you want to eat only a little at a time, you may have some of the bar left over.
Before buying, compare the total weight and serving information, and think about what you’ll do with an opened bar.
-
Buying a bar to decorate whole waffles
Chocolate with pieces of syrup waffle in it is no substitute for individual waffles that you want to dip or decorate one by one.
For that baking plan, choose ordinary syrup waffles. Use a bar as an extra only if that’s what you want to make.
-
Guessing allergens from the product name
Ingredients and warnings vary between syrup waffles and bars. The name doesn’t tell you which allergens are listed for the exact product.
Read the current packaging, including any ‘may contain’ information, before choosing a product if allergens matter to you.
-
Assuming a product page means it’s in stock locally
PLUS says its syrup waffle bar is unavailable at the linked store; Lidl says the Sondey waffles described are sold in store.
Check availability at the branch or through the delivery option you plan to use before basing your baking plans on a specific product.
Brands to consider
Albert Heijn / Delicata
The Delicata Reep stroopwafel delight melkchocolade is a 150 g chocolate bar with pieces of syrup waffle and fudge.
- Albert Heijn lists 8,3% syrup waffle pieces, 8,3% fudge and 15 portions of 10 g.
- The serving information doesn’t mean each piece is individually wrapped. Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging too.
Jumbo
According to Jumbo, its 140 g Melk Stroopwafel chocolate bar contains pieces of syrup waffle and whole mini syrup waffles in a white chocolate filling.
- The packaging lists around six portions; the mini syrup waffles set this bar apart from one containing pieces alone.
- You’ll need ordinary syrup waffles to decorate whole waffles individually. Check the label of the bar you choose for allergen information.
PLUS
PLUS lists a 140 g milk chocolate bar with pieces of syrup waffle and fudge.
- The product page lists 8% syrup waffle pieces, 8% fudge and Fairtrade cocoa.
- The same page says the bar is unavailable at the linked PLUS store. Check your own store before counting on it.
Daelmans
The Daelmans pack described by PLUS contains ten ordinary syrup waffles, making it a good option if you want several individual pieces.
- The waffles can be laid out individually for decorating; Daelmans also suggests serving them over a mug of hot drink.
- This isn’t a syrup waffle chocolate bar. The ingredients list includes wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients.
Lidl / Sondey
Lidl describes Sondey butter syrup waffles as a pack of twelve, weighing 480 g in total.
- The twelve individual waffles are a good fit if you’re planning to decorate several.
- Lidl says they’re sold in store. Check the packaging there if ingredients or allergens affect your choice.
ALDI
ALDI shows a pack of twelve ordinary syrup waffles with a total weight of 378 g.
- The number of waffles makes this pack a useful option if you want to decorate several.
- Don’t choose based on the number alone: check the product packaging in store for ingredients and allergen information.

Frequently asked questions
Is one syrup waffle bar also one serving?
No, not for the bars described here: Albert Heijn lists fifteen portions of 10 g for its 150 g Delicata bar, while Jumbo lists around six portions for its 140 g bar. Check the serving information if you only want to use part of a bar.
What do I need to decorate syrup waffles for Christmas?
Choose ordinary, individual syrup waffles if you want to dip or decorate several whole ones. Jumbo’s recipe uses eight waffles with chocolate, icing and decorations; buy however many you need for your own baking plans.
Where can I check the allergens in a syrup waffle bar?
Read the current label for the exact bar, including the ingredients and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains the mandatory declaration of allergens on labels; the Albert Heijn and Jumbo bars described here don’t have the same complete allergen list.
Does a supermarket product page mean the product is available near me?
No, check the store or delivery option you plan to use. PLUS says the syrup waffle bar described is unavailable at the linked store, while Lidl says the Sondey waffles mentioned are sold in store.
