If you want guests to take one each
If every guest needs to be able to take a wrapped waffle with them, look for individually wrapped packs. Daelmans lists these in bulk boxes, while Jumbo lists Kanjers with two waffles per pack.
Which format is best for you?
If you’re looking for a treat for yourself
Check exactly what you’re opening: an individually wrapped classic syrup waffle is different from the 150 g Delicata chocolate bar with syrup waffle pieces listed by Albert Heijn.
If you want to put a plate on the table
Mini syrup waffles are an option for guests to help themselves. PLUS sells Daelmans Mini’s in a sharing bag of 25; check that an open bag suits your get-together.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to hand out individually wrapped portions, put something on the table to share or choose a chocolate bar instead. The product format will determine which pack details you need to check.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Handing them out individually | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ and distinguish between 24×1 and 4×2. | I want to give every guest one wrapped waffle without opening a pack. For around 40% of consumers, individually wrapped portions are the top priority. |
| Sharing at the table | Compare the number of waffles and check whether it’s a sharing bag or a pack of pairs. | If guests are helping themselves from a plate, I value small waffles to share more than individually wrapped portions. Sharing is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Choosing a chocolate bar | Check that it’s chocolate with syrup waffle pieces and look at the weight of the bar. | For a sweet treat of my own or to share out in pieces, I’m looking for chocolate rather than a classic waffle. Around 30% of consumers prefer this bar format. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming two waffles per pack means one individually wrapped waffle
Jumbo lists Kanjers as 4×2: four packs, each containing two waffles. That won’t work if every guest needs exactly one wrapped waffle.
Read the pack details carefully and look specifically for ‘individually wrapped’ if you need one waffle per pack.
-
Treating a chocolate bar as one classic syrup waffle
Albert Heijn’s Delicata bar weighs 150 g and contains chocolate with syrup waffle pieces. It’s a different product format from a single round syrup waffle.
Compare the weight and nutritional information for the amount you plan to eat, rather than relying on the word ‘syrup waffle’ alone.
-
Guessing allergens from the product name
For Kanjers, Jumbo lists wheat, milk, soya and egg, and possible traces of nuts. A chocolate bar may have a different recipe.
If necessary, ask your guests about allergies and check the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack before serving.
Brands to consider
Daelmans
Worth considering if you want to hand out classic syrup waffles individually or are looking for mini ones to share.
- Daelmans lists boxes including 24×1 and 36×1 individually wrapped waffles; PLUS also lists a sharing bag of 25 Daelmans Mini’s.
- The individually wrapped options listed are bulk packs. Check that the quantity suits your get-together.
Kanjers
Worth considering if two classic syrup waffles per pack work for you.
- Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles as 4×2, weighing 320 g in total.
- Each pack contains two waffles, not one. Jumbo’s product information lists wheat, milk, soya and egg, and possible traces of nuts.
Delicata
A different product format for anyone looking for chocolate with syrup waffle pieces.
- Albert Heijn lists a 150 g milk chocolate bar with syrup waffle pieces and fudge pieces.
- A bar isn’t the same as a classic syrup waffle in an individual wrapper. Check the current allergen information before handing it out.
Sondey
A classic multipack option in the range described by Lidl.
- Lidl lists Sondey Butter Syrup Waffles as a pack of 12, weighing 480 g in total.
- Check the pack if every guest needs to be able to take an individually wrapped waffle.
Heerlijck Banket
Worth considering if you’re thinking of serving mini syrup waffles for everyone to share.
- ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket mini syrup waffles in a 300 g pack.
- Check the number of waffles and the pack format if you want to plan portions for each guest in advance.

Frequently asked questions
For a get-together, what’s the difference between individually wrapped waffles, pairs and a sharing bag?
With individually wrapped waffles, each one has its own sealed pack; according to Jumbo, Kanjers 4×2 has two waffles in each pack. PLUS sells Daelmans Mini’s in a sharing bag of 25. Choose based on how you want guests to take the waffles, and check the number of packs as well as the total number of waffles.
Does a syrup waffle chocolate bar count as one portion?
One bar doesn’t automatically equal one portion or one classic syrup waffle. The Delicata bar listed by Albert Heijn weighs 150 g and contains syrup waffle pieces; check the weight and nutritional information to work out how much you want to eat or share.
How can I check allergens before handing out syrup waffles?
Read the allergen information on the current pack of the product you’re serving. For Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles, Jumbo lists wheat, milk, soya and egg, and possible traces of nuts; don’t assume another brand or a chocolate bar has the same ingredients.
