Waffle Pops
Waffle Pops are a fun breakfast, brunch, or dessert idea that kids love to help make and of course, eat! Warm waffles are coated in melted candy and sprinkles, then dusted with a layer of sweet powdered sugar to make the ultimate snacking pop.
Equipment
- small waffle maker if not using leftover waffles
Ingredients
- 6 small waffles
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 1 cup pink candy melts
- 1 cup chocolate candy melts
- assorted toppings, sprinkles, powdered sugar, nonpareils
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the leftover waffles on a baking sheet and warm them for about 3–5 minutes. This step softens the waffles slightly but is not required if you prefer them at room temperature.
- Remove the waffles from the oven, allowing them to cool just enough so you can handle them safely. Insert a skewer or popsicle stick into each waffle.
- Place the white, chocolate, and pink candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls. Microwave them in 15- to 20-second bursts, stirring thoroughly in between, until smooth and fully melted. *Double Boiler Option: Put the candy melts in heat-safe bowls set over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir until melted.
- Dip each waffle pop into one color of melted candy, turning it to coat as much as you like. Let excess drip off. If desired, wait a moment for the first color to set slightly, then drizzle a second color on top using a spoon or piping bag.
- While the candy coating is still tacky, sprinkle on your choice of toppings—sprinkles, nonpareils, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
Storing: Store the fully set waffle pops in an airtight container at room temperature. If you used perishable toppings, store in the fridge and consume within 1–2 days.
Tip 1: If your candy melts become too thick, stir in a small amount of vegetable shortening or use a candy-thinning product.
Tip 2: Powdered sugar looks best added right before serving to avoid disappearing into the candy coating.
Tip 3: Warm waffles can help the skewers adhere better, but room-temperature waffles work fine too.
