Instructions

Prepare the waffle batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pro tip: Lumps in the batter are okay; they'll cook out.

Preheat and grease the waffle maker

Preheat your mini waffle maker. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of oil.

Pro tip: Ensure the waffle maker is hot before adding batter for a crispy exterior.

Cook the mini waffles

Pour 1-2 tablespoons of batter into each section of the waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.

Pro tip: The waffles are done when steam stops escaping from the waffle maker.

Insert lollipop sticks

While the waffles are still warm, gently insert a lollipop stick into one end of each waffle.

Pro tip: Twist the stick slightly as you insert it to avoid breaking the waffle.

Cool the waffles

Place the waffle pops on a wire rack to cool completely for about 10 minutes.

Melt the chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Pro tip: Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent seizing.

Dip and decorate

Dip the top half of each waffle pop into the melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with candy sprinkles.

Pro tip: Hold the waffle pop over the bowl to catch any excess sprinkles.

Set the chocolate

Place the decorated waffle pops on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
