If you want one syrup waffle with drinks and want to keep the rest sealed, choose a pack that explicitly says each waffle is individually wrapped. A twin pack works if two waffles make one portion for you; mini syrup waffles or a standard bag may be more practical for sharing. If you’re buying a larger pack, check how many you’re likely to use, and read the current label for ingredients and allergens.
If you only want one waffle with drinks, it’s worth checking whether they’re wrapped individually or in pairs. Daelmans offers individually wrapped waffles, while Kanjers describes its Original packs as containing two waffles per pack.
For a platter that people can help themselves to, compare mini syrup waffles with standard-sized ones. Lidl lists around 37 Sondey Mini Butter Syrup Waffles per pack; ALDI lists a bag containing 12 standard syrup waffles.
If you need to avoid gluten or other allergens, the label matters more than the pack format. To compare the nutritional value of similar products, use the figures per 100 g, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
First decide how many waffles you want to open at once. Then check how many are in the pack and whether it contains any ingredients you need to avoid.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Opening one waffle | Look for a clear statement that each waffle is individually wrapped; a pack of two is different. | I want to have one waffle without opening a wrapper containing a second one too. Around 38% of consumers prioritise having a single, sealed portion. |
| Sharing smaller bites | Compare the size, number of waffles and how they’re packed once opened. | For a shared drinks platter, I want to serve small waffles that everyone can choose from. Around 23% of consumers prioritise being able to share them. |
| Keeping a supply at home | Check the total number of waffles and choose an amount you expect to use. | If I serve syrup waffles regularly, I want to have enough at home and don’t mind a standard bag. Having a supply is the main consideration for around 23% of consumers. |
| Label and ingredients | Read the current allergen and ingredients information; compare the nutritional values of similar products per 100 g. | If I need to avoid gluten or other ingredients, I first need to know whether a product is suitable for me. Around 16% of consumers prioritise checking this over the pack format. |
Kanjers describes its Original pack, for example, as four packs of two. If you want one waffle, you’ll still be opening a pack containing two.
If this is essential for you, check that each wrapper really does contain just one waffle.
A smaller pack doesn’t tell you how many waffles you’ll open at once. Mini syrup waffles aren’t necessarily individually wrapped either.
Before choosing a portion pack, check both the number of waffles and how they’re arranged inside.
PLUS lists wheat and cereals containing gluten, soya, milk and lactose in its Caramel Syrup Waffles. The ingredients in this variety won’t necessarily be the same as those in other syrup waffles.
Check the current packaging for any allergens relevant to you, even if a product is labelled gluten-free.
Albert Heijn says its AH Syrup Waffle To Go is no longer in its range. So a product page doesn’t automatically mean you can still order the item.
Check the current product listing and packaging before basing your choice on a variety you found earlier.
Daelmans is worth considering if you’re specifically looking for individually wrapped syrup waffles.
Kanjers Original is an option if having two syrup waffles in each sealed pack suits the way you enjoy them.
Jumbo lists its 240 g Lekker Vrij van Gluten Stroop Wafels for anyone looking specifically for a variety labelled gluten-free.
Lidl lists both standard and mini butter syrup waffles from Sondey.
PLUS lists a standard bag of 10 Caramel Syrup Waffles as a sharing pack.
These two Kanjers packs help you compare a pack of ten, where you’ll need to check how the waffles are wrapped, with a pack of eight that Kanjers describes as four twin packs. Only choose the first if you want individually wrapped waffles once the current packaging confirms this.

Consider this pack if you’re looking for syrup waffles to enjoy over several occasions. It contains 10 pieces; check the current packaging if you need one individually sealed waffle for each occasion.

This variety is a good fit if you usually want to open two waffles at a time. Kanjers describes the eight pieces as four packs of two; it isn’t a single-portion pack if you want one sealed waffle at a time.
Look for a clear statement on the current packaging that each wrapper contains one waffle. A pack with several waffles, or one containing pairs, doesn’t automatically provide individual sealed portions.
Follow the storage advice on the packaging; Daelmans and PLUS recommend storing the products described in a cool, dry place. With individually wrapped waffles, each unopened wrapper stays sealed.
Don’t choose without first reading the label for that particular variety. PLUS lists wheat and cereals containing gluten, soya, milk and lactose in its Caramel Syrup Waffles. You should also check the current packaging of Jumbo Lekker Vrij van Gluten Stroop Wafels against any other requirements you have.
Compare the nutritional values per 100 g for similar products, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also consider the portion size if one pack contains a single waffle and the other contains a pair.
