@RogerWilco@sammydog01 I’ve had the snickerdoodle one and it was really good. still 13g of net carbs, so not exactly keto friendly, but still better than your average cookie.
@fuzzmanmatt, I was discouraged when I saw the fn word ‘stroopwafle’ cause according to my Icelandic friend, the way she freackin describes a Stroopwafle this ain’t them!! OR am I wrong¿?
@cengland0, look delicious¿? All I see on my screen is a bunch of cardboard!! I Was hoping to see a photo of a package opened up, but for that reason I’m out!!
@decoratedwarvet they look like a product I bought from Dicks Sporting Goods that had the same waffle texture but were gluten free. Tasted great. Little on the expensive side but you could buy one at a time if you wanted and got them on a clearance when they were getting close to their sell-by-date.
@RiotDemon, is this really what a stroopwafle looks like? I need to know for sure cause I couldn’t find any spec where the word ‘Stroopwafle’ appears! I’ve heard stroop- wafles are scrumptious fantacy delights!!
@ShotgunX Yep these will turn you into a bioweapon. If you have ever had the horrible gas from eating a fiber one bar, these are probably as bad if not worse.
@SnakeJG By the way, I don’t want to cost Meh its sales or anything - I just think people should be warned. Not everyone reacts terribly to inulin, but the majority of people do.
This is a very cheap ingredient that pads the fiber content, and companies use it to make their products seem more healthy (as in “I feel stuff moving down there, this must definitely be good for me!”), but anything over like half a gram can lead to some real unpleasantness.
I check all my foods for it now. If anyone is looking for fiber-rich, keto-friendly snack bars that don’t have any inulin in them, Quest bars use soluble corn fiber and are great, and about half of the Atkins product line also solely uses corn fiber.
If you need a fiber supplement, Citrucel powder has no ill effects.
@ShotgunX I never get that effect from Inulin, so YMMV. Maltitol, yes. Polydextrose, yes. (and I’m diabetic, so I pay a lot of attention to those sweeteners…)
@ShotgunX My sentiments exactly. Anyone with IBD, IBS, celiac disease or sensitivity, or various other intestinal “issues,” would be well-advised to steer clear of these. They might appear healthy, but ingredients like inulin, chickpea flour, lecithin, and monkfruit extract are, in the malaprop of a dopey sports talk show host: “a remedy for disaster.” Palm kernel oil is also quite bad for your arteries.
BTW, many Amazon reviews from last fall and winter complain that the waffles they received had 9-13 grams of sugar, not 3. So the formula probably changed then; if these are the old formula, they’re probably close to, or at, expiration. There are way better snacks, usually the ones you make yourself…
@Doodpants@Stallion They are also harder than steel if not warmed up. They are far more likely to cause other things to become smashed while in transit.
@DavidChurchRN Teeeeechnically anything with 20 grams or less of net carbs (per day) is considered keto friendly. So if you have one or two of these your carbs are pretty well shot for the day.
@JT954 I’ve only had a different brand, but they’re closer to waffles than wafers if we’re talking crunch/brittleness. They’re more chew than crunch. Very good imo
I gained enough weight doing the shelter-in-place thing. Not buying is the first disciplined thing I have done. Maybe the world is returning to normal.
@katbyter@phendrick Well, that last “twofer” was kind of a trick of words because each one is “sandwiched with another one and caramel filling.” That is correct. But each pack has one sticky thing, think of it like an Oreo. You could say an Oreo is two cookie wafers with a creme filling. But it’s still one Oreo to most of us. This is the same way.
@katbyter@pmarin The way this thread is going is starting to remind me of the old (forgettable) joke about the teacher who was down to a single piece of chalk, so asked Johnny to get her more pieces of chalk. Johnny said Sure, and promptly broke the one piece into many smaller pieces.
@elpepe Wow. You keto people get more offended than crossfit people who think that jumping and pulling does as much work as a real pull-up. Or field hockey players when I refuse to call it “lacroix”.
@jdavis103 I prefer to lose weight through healthy means like exercise and proper diet - not putting myself into ketosis with an extreme and potentially dangerous eating regimen. My point was…why flood the regular forum with your obsessive eating disorders? Get a room!
@mike808 had them and they are good. Some of the best “store-bought”. But I typically make about 3-400 at Christmas time so… Besides, I get to customize them a bit. Orange-almond, black walnut, black cocoa, and like you say, “heavy on the anise” (personal favorite).
I can add some limited education on these since my wife is Dutch.
To say it properly, it’s not stroop, as in stoop. it’s more of an “oh”, like rhymes with rope but hold the “o” a little longer.
The waffel is not like “Waffle House” but rather like vaafel. Say it as a “v” sound and then an “ah” sound again held for a bit longer. I’m probably not explaining it exactly but it’s close.
So str-“oh”-p-v-“ah”-fel
These are fairly indestructible because they don’t really go “stale” at least not for a long time. If the “best by” date is 2021 these should be fine. And they’re not going to self-destruct on that date. Especially if they are the only food left in your bunker you could still eat them after that!
The individually wrapped is nice
They are not intended to be crisp, but a bit soggy and chewy. In a good way, though. One tip is to microwave one for about 5 seconds (not long!). This will slighly warm and soften the filling.
all my experience is with the authentic ones. As mentioned by others, these seem to be some cruel trick where they swap out all the good tasty fats and sugars with new-age mumbo-jumbo “healthy” ingredients. So I can’t say exactly how these will turn out. Butt we do hear that these with both violate your Keto diet and cause your butt to explode! I’m not sure about that, YMMV.
BTW did anyone confirm if these are important from Europe or are they a US manufacturer?
@mehvid1 I thought that’s good? I can’t keep up with all the trends in what’s good and bad, because it will change every few years, though the ingredient and out stomachs remain the same.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - if you buy these and do the inevitable and eat 6 or 7 (or 15) of them in one sitting PLEASE come back here and detail the projectile diarrhea that results.
@Ozzie2191 Hmm. I haven’t seen these at Target but then I usually try to avoid shopping for cookies or sweets (because if I buy them I will likely eat them.) Buying online seems different in a disturbing way – why is OK for me to buy sweets online but I resist in a store?
Curious what the actual product is at Target. You say it’s a different brand, but I wonder in what other ways it’s not comparable. Probably not with the weird “healthy ingredients” stuff like this one has. Can you find it on their site and send a link?
@Ozzie2191@RiotDemon Thanks, I’ll add it to my “wish list” at Target and maybe try some. I don’t go to the store much lately. But I’ll know it for the future.
@Ozzie2191@pmarin@RiotDemon I looked at the ingredients. These are only vaguely related to the ones at Meh. And they look way better. I’ll add them to my list too. Thanks!
Edit- I can go pick them up in 4 hours. I love Target.
A guy from our field office in The Netherlands used to visit the home office twice a year and he would always bring a couple of packages of the authentic Stroopwafles to put in the break room. So each time I would be enticed by the smell and try one, only to be reminded how overly sweet they are and how the filling sticks to my teeth. I kind of want to like them, but they’re not for me.
@macromeh Well, see, that’s how you know they are the freshest. When the filling sticks to your teeth, that’s a good thing! I suspect you must not like authentic caramels either, then.
Now this product, I’m not sure how it will be, since apparently they replaced some of to good (or bad depending on how you look at it) sweet syrupy sugar for some blend of sugars and alternate ingredients. I’m not expecting it to be identical to a fresh-off-the-plane authentic Dutch one, so it will be interesting to try.
On the one hand, these are fucking delicious. On the other, I don’t need any more processed carbs in the house right now. Times like this I’m glad I cancelled my VMP membership. Not having “free” shipping makes it so much easier to click that “meh” button…
@SaintO Yeah… I go months without buying when don’t have the free shipping…
As soon as I get the shipping I end up buying half a dozen things in a month… Lol
I’m passing on these though, not because theyre not delicious but because they are delicious and I’d eat way too many of them within 5 mins of the package arriving.
@OnionSoup@SaintO LOL you just reminded me that a case of QPR showed up last week and I put it in my garage and forgot about it. I usually open the box and try one bottle (well, not the whole bottle all at once). I often buy from the partner wine site and honestly that is the main benefit I get from the “membership” price. But then I come over here and buy Meh crap too. Because, well, Meh!
I met the guys who originally started this, they used to make them on a waffle iron on the college green on 4/20 and needless to say they were popular. Amazing snack and definitely in.
@blacklotus90 Yes, stoned guys can be pretty creative, but do you mean this company specifically? That would be cool if you knew them.
The original Dutch product I’m pretty sure they have been making for a couple of hundred years. Everything there has been made for a couple of hundred years. Wooden shoes. Good cheese. Genever (the original Gin, not Sin, or perhaps both).
@pmarin Yeah, these guys specifically. started with a waffle iron, grew pretty quickly and we suddenly seeing their brand in stores around Providence, then they really picked up once Starbucks started selling them. Of course they’ve been a Dutch tradition forever, but back then (2008ish) I hadn’t seen commercially produced Stroopwafels available in the US other than at import stores or World Market.
@bigtom67 just type the letters on a new line without spaces “/ giph y any random name” and see what happens. There are ways to cut/paste that is harder on a phone.
Used to have a friend send me them from Holland. Best ones were Chocolate covered. They were awesome and even came in a bite sized dutch chocolate covered.
These are pretty damned good. Might think they were even better but I’ve had the real ones, and these do not quite compare. I bought some anyway.

Just got an email from UPS saying I’m getting a package tomorrow from Wine Country Connect in Sonoma, CA. Wasn’t sure what it was, since I hadn’t ordered any wine. Then I saw the reference number.
@awk I cant decide what is worse, the pooping or the fact that the rhino has a double asshole(similar to the xenomorph’s double jaw) or the fact that I cant stop watching it
They say waffle (Waffel - figured it was some weird foreign spelling) and I saw nothing in the picture that says otherwise. I didn’t go to the specs page…
I’m not complaining though. My wife likes them and she says we got a really good price. I’m under instructions to buy them again if they are ever available.
@Cerridwyn@Shifts The Target ones are pretty darn OK too. Especially if you do the warm it up over a cup of tea thing. Now I need to find a dutch store. Is that really a thing?
I am allergic to eggs. I ate these thinking I could just hork them down as a rare, sinful dalliance into allergen territory. They gave me the most prolific gas I’ve ever had. So I ate the rest so I couldn’t be tempted any more. I was jet propelled for about a week.

Almost bought, then I noticed that the first ingredient is chicory root fiber, a.k.a. inulin, a.k.a. “enjoy your blown-out asshole, chump.”
@ShotgunX I wondered about the “only 3g sugar.”
@ShotgunX Yep these will turn you into a bioweapon. If you have ever had the horrible gas from eating a fiber one bar, these are probably as bad if not worse.
@ShotgunX thanks for the warning, I just cancelled my order. I was on the fence anyhow because the price was a bit high
@ShotgunX Haha yeaah looking at the ingredients list now I think I’ve made a terrible mistake…

@macromeh Well, see, that’s how you know they are the freshest. When the filling sticks to your teeth, that’s a good thing! I suspect you must not like authentic caramels either, then.
Now this product, I’m not sure how it will be, since apparently they replaced some of to good (or bad depending on how you look at it) sweet syrupy sugar for some blend of sugars and alternate ingredients. I’m not expecting it to be identical to a fresh-off-the-plane authentic Dutch one, so it will be interesting to try.

@zachdecker It worked! Your order number is: ample-fatherly-ox

On the one hand, these are fucking delicious. On the other, I don’t need any more processed carbs in the house right now. Times like this I’m glad I cancelled my VMP membership. Not having “free” shipping makes it so much easier to click that “meh” button…
@SaintO Yeah… I go months without buying when don’t have the free shipping…
As soon as I get the shipping I end up buying half a dozen things in a month… Lol
I’m passing on these though, not because theyre not delicious but because they are delicious and I’d eat way too many of them within 5 mins of the package arriving.

@OnionSoup exactly. I’ll sip my first bottle of QPR and toast my frugality!
@OnionSoup @SaintO LOL you just reminded me that a case of QPR showed up last week and I put it in my garage and forgot about it. I usually open the box and try one bottle (well, not the whole bottle all at once). I often buy from the partner wine site and honestly that is the main benefit I get from the “membership” price. But then I come over here and buy Meh crap too. Because, well, Meh!
My wife tried these and said they were horrible. She threatened to divorce me if I bought them. So I bought 3.
Keeping my fingers crossed…
Hey @ChadP How about you send me them and I’ll promise to review them for free?
I met the guys who originally started this, they used to make them on a waffle iron on the college green on 4/20 and needless to say they were popular. Amazing snack and definitely in.
@blacklotus90 Yes, stoned guys can be pretty creative, but do you mean this company specifically? That would be cool if you knew them.
The original Dutch product I’m pretty sure they have been making for a couple of hundred years. Everything there has been made for a couple of hundred years. Wooden shoes. Good cheese. Genever (the original Gin, not Sin, or perhaps both).
@pmarin Yeah, these guys specifically. started with a waffle iron, grew pretty quickly and we suddenly seeing their brand in stores around Providence, then they really picked up once Starbucks started selling them. Of course they’ve been a Dutch tradition forever, but back then (2008ish) I hadn’t seen commercially produced Stroopwafels available in the US other than at import stores or World Market.

@blaineg Well, that’s the least terrible one after countless saves. Is this an IRK? Because I am disappoint.
Well. I’m in. These are delicious.

( abstract-poignant-school ) After reading your comments I couldn’t stand it and had to place an order. I wish I could get my phone to do GIPHY‘s…
@bigtom67 just type the letters on a new line without spaces “/ giph y any random name” and see what happens. There are ways to cut/paste that is harder on a phone.

Used to have a friend send me them from Holland. Best ones were Chocolate covered. They were awesome and even came in a bite sized dutch chocolate covered.
These are pretty damned good. Might think they were even better but I’ve had the real ones, and these do not quite compare. I bought some anyway.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
FEED ME!!!

Just got an email from UPS saying I’m getting a package tomorrow from Wine Country Connect in Sonoma, CA. Wasn’t sure what it was, since I hadn’t ordered any wine. Then I saw the reference number.
/giphy feed-me
I got mine today. I ate two of each. They are actually really good! Flavor 9/10 and texture 10/10.
Now I’m waiting for that chicory root fiber to work its sweet sweet magic!

@awk I cant decide what is worse, the pooping or the fact that the rhino has a double asshole(similar to the xenomorph’s double jaw) or the fact that I cant stop watching it
I pooped like that rhino this morning, it was glorious.
However, I think it’s best to eat these one at a time in the future. They have definite bio-weapon potential.

These are SO YUMMY. I pity the fool who passed on these delicious stroopwaffels!
oh my gawd… these are dangerously good. i’d buy them again without hesitation at the $20 meh had 'em.
@Noddy93 but… Did you get sick?
@RiotDemon nope… but then neither have the other folks… they’re just crappin’ like they’re finally getting proper fiber.
Got these today. I admit that I was confused. The box wasn’t the cold pack I was expecting.
I read the box. No instructions on the box for freeze or refrigerate.
Open the box. Then I realized that these were cookies and not waffles…
And they are not really that good for cookies…
Oh well, the wife likes them.
@jst1ofknd not sure how you thought they were an actual frozen waffle. Thanks for the picture of your confusion.
@RiotDemon
They say waffle (Waffel - figured it was some weird foreign spelling) and I saw nothing in the picture that says otherwise. I didn’t go to the specs page…
I’m not complaining though. My wife likes them and she says we got a really good price. I’m under instructions to buy them again if they are ever available.
I immediately tore apart the packaging and shoved one in my face hole.
@silverelizard As did I. One of each, of course.
I am now obsessed with stroopwafels.
@Shifts
find a dutch store and get the real ones. these are good but those are … (here it comes) … awesome!
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
@Cerridwyn @Shifts The Target ones are pretty darn OK too. Especially if you do the warm it up over a cup of tea thing. Now I need to find a dutch store. Is that really a thing?

@Cerridwyn @Shifts Those Daelman ones are the kind they sell at Target.
I am allergic to eggs. I ate these thinking I could just hork them down as a rare, sinful dalliance into allergen territory. They gave me the most prolific gas I’ve ever had. So I ate the rest so I couldn’t be tempted any more. I was jet propelled for about a week.
