The town of Gouda in the Netherlands may be known for its cheese, but to the Dutch, it is best loved for stroopwafels (also known as siroopwafels).
These chewy treats, consisting of a layer of rich caramel or honey syrup sandwiched between two waffle-like thin cookies, have long been Holland's favorite sweet delight.

I'm going to hazard a guess that what you're asking about is the phrase "Dutch treat," meaning "no treat at all because each person pays his or her own check." "Dutch treat" is a linguistic relic of a low point in relations between England and The Netherlands.
Along with "Dutch treat," which originally implied "cheap," other insults once popular included "Dutch courage" (liquor), "Dutch defense" (a retreat), "Dutch headache" (a hangover), "Do a Dutch" (commit suicide), "Dutch concert" (a drunken uproar), and "Dutch nightingale" (a frog, which seems an especially low blow).
"Dutch treat" has long since lost its original sting, and today "pay your own way" seems to be standard practice among those who date.
