Spooky Stroops

Candy? On Halloween? That’s what everyone does! But you? You’re not like everyone else. No, you dance to the beat of a different drummer. Like, say, Cesar Zuiderwijk, drummer for Golden Earring, who hail The Hague in the Netherlands.

What we’re saying is, this year, why not try something different? Why not get a little Dutch with the treats you hand out to the kiddos with these individually wrapped mini stroopwafels? That’s right: these are tiny little stroopwafels that are packed and ready to be dispersed among the youth of your neighborhood!

Now, they won’t fit on top of a coffee cup to warm up their delicious, sweet caramel centers (unless you’re talking about the coffee cups they make for babies, sometimes referred to as “espresso cups”) but otherwise they’re the same stroopwafels you know and enjoy on select Continental flights.

But here’s the thing: if you’re going to hand out stroopwafels instead of candy, you really gotta commit to the bit. And the best way to do that is by putting together a Dutch costume to go with your Dutch treats. Something like:

• Stroop Dogg
• Gouda Hagen
• Dutch Cassidy
• wisecracking high school teacher, Gabe Kotterdam
• Boooo-lip (ghost of a tulip)
• Spiderman, as portrayed by actor Tom… wait for it… Holland
• Meek Windmill
• Jean-Claude Van Amsterdamme
• alternatively, Jean-Claude Van Gogh
• famous basketball player, Neth Curry (brother of two-time MVP Ntephen Curry)

Yes, these are really stupid. Or should we say… stroopid?

No, you’r right. We definitely should not say that.
