Waffle Sticks

I cannot believe I haven't written about one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year!  It is a waffle stick maker from babycakes.  Each pan makes 4 individually shaped waffle sticks. For some reason this shape of waffle just seems to taste better and it is perfect for dipping in melted chocolate.

Make sure to cool the waffles on a rack in order to keep them crisp.  There are a lot of recipes for waffles on this post.  Experiment with your favorites.


If you do not have a Babycakes Waffle Maker, then these recipes will also work with a regular waffle machine.

Have fun!  These are delicious any time of the day.  Following are a few of the recipes that came with the waffle maker.
