Which size is right for you?

Will the syrup waffles be on the table while you bake, or do you also want to put some in lunchboxes? That mainly determines whether a sharing pack, a duo wrapper or a smaller size will be most practical.

For lunchboxes and on the go

Pre-portioned packaging saves you having to wrap them up yourself. Check how many waffles each wrapper contains, though: a duo contains two, which is not the same as one waffle per lunchbox.

For a coffee break or baking afternoon

If several people will be helping themselves to waffles from the table, the total number and quantity matter more than individual wrappers. Also think about how you’ll reseal an opened pack.

For serving smaller waffles

Mini syrup waffles let everyone decide how many they want. The smaller size alone tells you nothing about individual wrapping or the amount in each stated portion.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether taking them with you, sharing them or helping yourself is the priority. Then check the pack format and the label on the variant you’re considering.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Taking individually wrapped waffles with you Count the individual wrappers and the waffles in each one. Jumbo lists Kanjers as 4 × 2 pieces, so each duo contains two waffles rather than one individually wrapped waffle. For a lunchbox or a snack on the go, I want to take waffles with me without portioning them myself. For around 33% of consumers, packaging for taking them out is the priority.
Enough waffles to share Compare the number of waffles and the weight; the stated number of portions does not always match the number of waffles. Jumbo lists its regular butter syrup waffles as 468 g and 12 portions. If several people will be eating during the baking afternoon, I want to know in advance how many regular waffles I can serve. This is the most important consideration for around 27% of consumers.
Helping yourself to a small amount Check whether ‘mini’ describes only the size of the waffle, and look at the stated serving size. Jumbo lists its mini syrup waffles as 300 g and approximately 12 portions. When there’s a plate on the table, I’d rather choose how many small waffles to take than have one large waffle in advance. Around 20% of consumers give this choice top priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label, especially if someone has a relevant allergy. The Kanjers 4 × 2 pack described here lists wheat, milk, soya and egg, and may contain nuts. If someone I’m serving waffles to has an allergy, I need to be able to check the ingredients first. Checking the label is a priority for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a multipack for individual single-waffle packs

    A pack of 4 × 2 pieces contains four duo portions, not eight individually wrapped waffles. That matters if you want to put exactly one waffle in each lunchbox.

    Check the pack for the inner packaging format, and count the wrappers as well as the total number of waffles.

  • Comparing only the number of portions

    Jumbo lists 12 portions for a regular 468 g pack and approximately 12 portions for 300 g of mini syrup waffles. A similar number of portions therefore doesn’t mean the same size or weight.

    For your sharing occasion, compare the weight, number of waffles and stated serving size together.

  • Assuming the allergen information is the same

    Ingredients vary between product variants. For example, Jumbo’s Kanjers 4 × 2 pack also lists egg and may contain nuts; a pack you bought before is no substitute for checking the current label.

    Check the physical packaging before offering syrup waffles to someone with a relevant allergy.

  • Leaving a large pack open after use

    A larger pack is most practical if you can share the contents or store the rest properly.

    Seal the opened pack tightly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing syrup waffles in a cool, dry, dark place.

Brands compared

Compare the pack formats listed for these brands, not just the brand names. The number of waffles in each wrapper makes the biggest difference when you want to take them with you.

Daelmans

Compare a regular pack with a duo format: Albert Heijn lists Daelmans Syrup Waffles as 10 pieces and 290 g; PLUS lists Daelmans Duopack as 8 pieces.

  • The duo format is worth considering if you want pre-portioned waffles to take with you.
  • Each duo wrapper contains two waffles. If you have an allergy, check the ingredients on the current packaging.

Jumbo

Compare regular butter syrup waffles at 468 g with mini syrup waffles at 300 g.

  • Jumbo lists 12 portions for the regular pack and approximately 12 for the minis, so you can compare the stated portions with the sizes.
  • A serving-size label doesn’t confirm that there are individual inner wrappers. If you have an allergy, check the current label for the variant you choose.

Kanjers

If the inner packaging format is your priority, Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles as 4 × 2 pieces and 320 g.

  • The 4 × 2 description makes it clear how many duo portions you can share.
  • These are not individually wrapped single waffles. Jumbo’s listing mentions egg, milk, soya and wheat, and says the product may contain nuts; check the current label.

Syrup waffles to take with you and share

These two Kanjers packs are worth considering if you want to serve syrup waffles at a baking afternoon and take some with you too. Don’t choose based only on the total number of waffles: check whether you need individual waffles or pairs for each snack occasion.

Frequently asked questions

Are duo syrup waffles individually wrapped?

They’re wrapped in pairs, not individually. Jumbo lists Kanjers as a pack of 4 × 2 pieces; check the inner packaging format if you want to put one waffle in each lunchbox.

How should I store syrup waffles once the pack is open?

Seal the pack tightly and store the syrup waffles in a cool, dry, dark place, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also follow the storage instructions on the pack you bought.

Can I rely on the product name if I have an allergy?

No, check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging. The regular, mini and duo examples mentioned here list wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients; Jumbo’s Kanjers 4 × 2 pack also lists egg and may contain nuts.

Is a mini syrup waffle the same as a small, individually wrapped portion?

Not necessarily: ‘mini’ describes the size of the waffle, not automatically the inner packaging. Consider whether you want to help yourself from a pack or need a pre-portioned serving.
