Stocking up
You’re buying for several occasions and want to know how many syrup waffles you’ll get in one pack. Compare the net weight and number of waffles to find out.
Which pack size suits you?
Planning lunchboxes and breaks
You want to divide the waffles between different occasions. A pack labelled 4 × 2 can help you choose the right amount for each time, but check how the waffles are actually packed, too.
Sharing small treats
You’re looking for lots of small pieces to put out on a plate or share with others. For mini syrup waffles, check both the number of pieces and the total weight.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you’ll mainly enjoy the syrup waffles at home, take them in a lunchbox or share them in small portions. Then compare the quantity and how the pack is divided up.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity for home | Compare the net weight and number of waffles in the specific pack. | If I’m buying for several occasions, I want enough waffles at home without being misled by the size of the pack. For around 42% of consumers, quantity comes first. |
| Portions for each occasion | Check how many waffles are in each portion and look at the inner packaging. | For my lunchbox or break, I want to take a suitable amount with me without assuming that every waffle is individually wrapped. Around 33% of consumers say this way of dividing them up is their priority. |
| Small portions to share | For mini waffles, check both the number of pieces and the net weight. | When putting out a plate to share, I find lots of small pieces more convenient than a few large waffles. This is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack contains separate lunchbox portions
Albert Heijn describes its three-pack of syrup waffles as three separate items. A label such as 4 × 2 doesn’t, by itself, tell you how all the waffles are packed inside.
Check the product description or packaging if separate portions are important to you.
-
Assuming a different variety has the same ingredients
Wheat, milk and soya are among the ingredients found in the syrup waffles reviewed. Ingredients and allergens can vary from one product to another.
Read the label on the pack you’re buying, especially if you need to take allergens into account.
Brands and pack sizes to consider
Daelmans
PLUS lists Daelmans syrup waffles in a pack of ten and as a 78 g duo.
- The duo is a smaller option for one occasion.
- For stocking up, the pack of ten gives you a different quantity. Choose according to how many occasions you’re buying for.
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn offers a three-pack of caramel syrup waffles made with butter, supplied as separate items.
- This format bundles three packs for several occasions.
- The bundle doesn’t tell you whether the waffles in each pack are individually portioned.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists a 468 g pack of butter syrup waffles, described as containing twelve portions.
- The stated weight and number of portions help you assess what’s inside.
- Twelve portions doesn’t mean they’re individually wrapped.
Lidl (Sondey)
Lidl lists Sondey butter syrup waffles in a pack of twelve weighing 480 g, as well as mini butter syrup waffles in a pack of around 37 weighing 316 g.
- The two pack sizes let you choose between larger waffles and lots of smaller pieces.
- Compare the weight as well as the number of pieces: the minis have a different total quantity.
ALDI
ALDI lists a pack of twelve syrup waffles with a total weight of 378 g.
- Both the number of waffles and the weight are stated, making it easier to compare the quantity with other pack sizes.
- Check the pack in store if the exact way it’s divided up matters for how you’ll use it.
PLUS
PLUS lists a 480 g pack of syrup waffles and a caramel variety in a pack of ten.
- You can choose between a pack with a stated total weight and a variety with a stated number of pieces.

Frequently asked questions
Is a three-pack automatically suitable for separate lunchbox portions?
No. Albert Heijn says its three-pack of syrup waffles is supplied as separate items. Check how the waffles in each pack are divided up if you want to take separate portions with you.
Should I check the allergens again when choosing a different variety of syrup waffle?
Yes, if allergens matter to you or the person you’re buying for. Syrup waffles may contain ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya, so read the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack.
How should I store an opened pack of syrup waffles?
Follow the storage advice on the pack and seal it well once opened. Storage conditions can vary by product, so check the date on the pack, too.
Can I use the nutritional information for one syrup waffle as a guide for another?
Not without comparing the weight and nutritional information for both varieties. The Voedingscentrum gives a figure of 189 kcal for an extra-large 40 g syrup waffle. This figure doesn’t automatically apply to a mini waffle or one from another brand.
