Updated 2 October 2026.

Honey Stinger is a Colorado brand best known for its honey-filled energy waffles, a thin stroopwafel-style snack that cyclists and runners carry in a jersey pocket. The range is hard to find in UK shops, and when it does turn up it is usually one or two flavours. This guide sets out what each product is, how much carbohydrate it gives you, which ones contain caffeine and which are gluten-free, so you can pick the right box before a long ride, run or hike.

The Honey Stinger range at a glance

Honey Stinger makes three kinds of fuel. They differ mainly in texture and in how quickly you can eat them while moving. The figures below come from the product listings and the packs; always check the label on the box you receive.

Energy waffles: the one most people are looking for

The waffle is two thin wafers with a layer of honey-based filling, sold individually wrapped. A classic waffle weighs about 30 g and gives 19 g of carbohydrate. It is a solid food, so it suits the start of a long ride or a walk, or a steady effort where you can chew.

• Honey energy waffles, 16-count are the original and the plainest flavour. For heavier use there is also a 24-count box of Honey waffles.
• The gluten-free waffles use a different wafer and give 21 g of carbohydrate each. We stock Salted Caramel and Cookies & Cream, plus Cinnamon.
• Nut butter waffles have a peanut or almond butter filling, around 150 calories each, and a little less carbohydrate. The Peanut Butter 16-count is the most popular of these. They contain peanuts or tree nuts, so check the allergen panel.
• If you are not sure which flavour you will like, the 18-count variety pack (Honey, Salted Caramel and Peanut Butter) gives you six of each.

Honey Stinger lists 11 waffle flavours on its waffles page, split into classic, gluten-free and nut butter groups. We stock all 11.

Energy gels: for when you cannot chew

Gels are a thick liquid in a tear-open sachet, made mostly from honey and tapioca syrup. Each one gives 24 g of carbohydrate. They are easier than a waffle when you are breathing hard, which is why runners tend to prefer them.

• Gold gel, 12-pack: the plain honey flavour, caffeine-free and gluten-free.
• Strawberry Kiwi gel, 12-pack: contains 32 mg of caffeine from green tea per sachet, which is less than a cup of tea.
• Gel variety pack, 21-count: a mix of flavours, useful for testing which ones sit well with you before a race. Honey Stinger's own description of this pack includes two caffeinated flavours, so read each sachet if you are avoiding caffeine.
• We also stock a caffeinated Salted Caramel gel; its caffeine comes from green tea and the amount is printed on the pack.

Take gels with water. Sipping water with a gel helps it go down and stops your mouth feeling sticky.

Energy chews: the middle ground

The chews are soft, fruit-gum style sweets in a 50 g pack. A serving gives 23 g of carbohydrate, and you can eat one or two at a time instead of a whole sachet. We stock four caffeine-free flavours, including Citrus Splash and Cherry Blossom. Honey Stinger also makes caffeinated chews with 50 to 100 mg per serving, according to its chews page; we do not currently stock those.

How we chose what to stock, and what to check

We picked the lines that UK customers search for most: the waffles first, then the gels and chews that suit runners. Before you order, it is worth checking four things on the listing and the pack.

1. Carbohydrate per serving. Waffles give 16 to 21 g, gels 24 g and chews 23 g. If you follow a plan that sets a number of grams per hour, use these figures to work out how many you need.
2. Caffeine. All the waffles and chews we stock are caffeine-free. Among the gels, Strawberry Kiwi (32 mg) and Salted Caramel contain caffeine, and the 21-count variety pack includes caffeinated sachets. Gold and Fruit Smoothie are caffeine-free.
3. Gluten. All the gels and chews are labelled gluten-free. Only three of the waffles are: Salted Caramel, Cookies & Cream and Cinnamon. The others use a wheat wafer.
4. Allergens. The nut butter waffles contain peanuts or almonds. Check the ingredients panel if you have an allergy.

Sizes on our listings are given in grams and millilitres. US packs also print ounces, so you may see both on the box.

Honey Stinger and honey: who it is not for

Every Honey Stinger product is made with honey. The NHS advises that you should not give honey to a child until they are over 1 year old, because of the small risk of infant botulism. These products are designed for active adults and older children, not for babies. They are also not suitable for a vegan diet, because honey is an animal product.

UK alternatives if you cannot wait

If you need fuel for an event this weekend, UK sports shops and supermarkets sell energy gels, chews and bars from British and European brands, and some carry stroopwafel-style snacks. Compare them in the same way: grams of carbohydrate per serving, caffeine content and allergens. A plain Dutch stroopwafel from a supermarket is not the same thing, though. It is a biscuit with a caramel syrup filling and is not made or labelled as sports fuel.

If it is the honey-based recipe and the specific flavours you are after, the full range is in our Honey Stinger UK collection. You will find more brands that are hard to find in UK shops on our Hard-to-Find Brands in the UK page.
