Choose the pack size according to how you plan to serve the syrup waffles: a large bag works well for a sharing platter, a pack with a set number of waffles is handy for portioning in advance, and mini syrup waffles make easy bite-sized treats for a group. Then check the number of waffles, the ingredients and the current label. Packs of a similar size can still contain different ingredients.
For a platter or coffee table, you can weigh out regular syrup waffles and minis side by side. Would you like to serve whole waffles, or offer plenty of smaller pieces for guests to choose from? Jumbo lists bags of regular syrup waffles and minis; Lidl says its Sondey minis contain approximately 37 pieces per pack.
For lunchboxes, treats or small groups, a clear piece count is useful. Jumbo lists Kanjers in a pack of 4 × 2 pieces, while PLUS also stocks Daelmans duo packs. Check which format suits the number of people you’re buying for.
If you’re buying for guests with allergies or want to know what one portion contains, read the label on the pack you choose. Ingredients, allergens and nutritional information should match the specific product and pack size. Don’t rely on details from a different syrup waffle product.
First, decide how you’ll serve the syrup waffles or give them out. Then compare the number of pieces with the net weight, so a pack of mini waffles doesn’t look equivalent to one containing fewer, larger waffles.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pieces for a sharing platter | Compare the number of pieces and the size of the waffles. Lidl lists approximately 37 Sondey minis per pack; this is an estimate. | If guests will help themselves from a platter, I want to know how many whole waffles or bite-sized treats I can offer. Having enough to share is the top priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Portioning in advance | Check whether the number of pieces suits the people you’re buying for: Jumbo lists Kanjers in a pack of 4 × 2 pieces, while PLUS also stocks Daelmans duo packs. | For lunchboxes or small groups, I want to be able to count the waffles before handing them out. This convenience is the main consideration for around 29% of consumers. |
| Total pack quantity | If you need several packs, compare both the net weight and the number of pieces. Weight alone doesn’t tell you how the portions are divided. | When stocking up for a gathering, I want to plan the total quantity without judging by pack size alone. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this kind of quantity planning. |
| Ingredients and portions | Read the current ingredients and allergen information. Use the nutritional information for the product you’ve chosen and the portion size shown. | When I’m buying for guests with allergies or want to estimate portions, I need to be able to check the specific label. This is the main priority for around 14% of consumers. |
A large bag of regular syrup waffles, a pack of 4 × 2 pieces and a pack of minis divide the contents differently. So the weight alone doesn’t tell you how many portions you can easily hand out.
Compare the net weight, number of pieces and waffle size before choosing a pack for your platter or lunchboxes.
According to Jumbo’s product information, the Kanjers variety mentioned contains egg, milk, wheat and soya, among other ingredients, and may contain traces of nuts. PLUS lists wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk for its Daelmans bag. These details aren’t interchangeable between products.
Before serving, check the current label on every pack you’ve bought. If you can’t confirm that a product is suitable for a guest with an allergy, don’t present it as suitable.
Syrup waffles can lose quality if left exposed to the air. A large pack also means you may have some left over to use later after a party.
Seal any leftover waffles well and store them in a cool, dry, dark place, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also follow the instructions on the packaging.

First decide whether you want to offer each guest a regular waffle or serve mini waffles as bite-sized treats on a platter. Then use the number of pieces on the pack and the number of guests to work out how many you’ll need, taking other baked treats into account. For example, Lidl lists approximately 37 Sondey minis per pack, while Jumbo lists 4 × 2 pieces for the Kanjers variety mentioned.
Only if the label on the specific product makes it clear that it’s suitable for those guests. Jumbo lists egg, milk, wheat and soya, among other ingredients, for its Kanjers pack, along with possible traces of nuts. For the Daelmans bag, PLUS lists wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk. If in doubt, don’t assume it’s suitable.
Yes. Check the packaging you actually receive, especially if anyone has an allergy. PLUS says that product information, including ingredients and allergens, can change. Details on a product page you viewed earlier are therefore no substitute for checking the current label.
Store any leftover syrup waffles in a well-sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also follow the storage advice and best-before date on the pack you bought.
