Churro Waffles

 
As I have mentioned before, I am not much of a “hot breakfast” kind of girl . . . I just love my bowl of cold cereal each morning. However, I made these for my kids last weekend and they may have changed the way that I think about breakfast! These are so delicious and just melt in your mouth. 
If you are super adventurous, you could smother them in maple syrup (just don’t call me when you have to get your cavity filled at the dentist . . . ha ha!!). 
These would also make an amazing dessert! Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have an amazing treat!

    As the connoisseur of waffles in my family… this one made a home run… I mean hit way out of the ballpark! Sisters, you totally killed this one. My only frustration is how soon can I make these. I’d do it tonight, except it’s after midnight and cooking anything after midnight can be a bit scary!My suggestion… serve it for lunch on Saturday. Or, if that’s reaching… pick a winner. I promise I’ll buy all the raffle tickets!No, seriously, you guys did good on this post! :)

    I just had the most amazing choros the other night at the mexican restaurant I went to. After our meal they brought them out and I thought I was going to die I was so full. What made them over the top?? They put honey on them! I’ve never had them with honey drizzled on top and they made so amazing. Thanks for sharing, I love this idea :)
