  • My fiance lived in Amsterdam for a year, and as a lover of all things sweet he soon discovered one of the most popular Dutch cookies: the Stroopwafel / Syrupwaffle.

    Stroopwaffels, Stroopwaffles, or Stroopwafels (also known as Dutch caramel cookies) are two thin, hard waffle-indented round biscuits, wedged together with a caramel syrup.

    They are a bit too sweet for my taste, but definitely seem very popular and in recent years I have noticed that they have become available in supermarkets all over Europe and even in the Middle East.

    Some prefer their syrup cookies slightly warm, so you can simply balanced your stroop wafel on top of your cup of hot coffee or tea for a minute or so. This melts the syrup and makes the whole affair even gooeyier (is that a word? haha!)

     Lol !! I know what you're talking about...... This is why Camila and I first visited one of those special coffee houses for a good smoke... After that we didn't care about cyclists, doggy poop or trams and we still survived.....
