Veganized Caramel Cookies

Stroop Club's Traditional Caramel Stroopwafel is Organic & Palm Oil-Free

— September 12, 2024 — Lifestyle
Stroop Club launched Europe's first vegan, organic, palm oil-free traditional caramel stroopwafel, offering an alternative to a special regional treat conventionally made with butter and eggs. This Dutch-style caramel-filled cookie maintains the flavor and texture that consumers know and love, all while providing a more sustainable version for those with certain dietary needs and preferences, or environmental and ethical values.

Plant-based eaters and vegans often feel frustrated when their beloved sweet treats remain non-vegan, but the satisfaction of finally indulging in a reimagined version of a favorite confection is a sweet victory worth celebrating. Stroop Club Stroopwafels are already well-known across the United States, Canada and Mexico, and with this product, the company will delight consumers in the European market with a first-of-its-kind option that uniquely satisfies sweet cravings.
