As if waffles could not be any better when smothered in butter, syrup, peanut butter, or any number of combinations, here is a totally fun idea to get a slumber party or birthday party started off right.

Or Breakfast.

Chocolate isn’t so bad for breakfast…right??

At any rate, these waffles are super easy to create and make a fantastic snack for a round of kids…or an adult that wants to feel like a kid.

Chocolate Dipped Waffles

(inspired by Taste of Home Cookbook)

• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4cup butterscotch chips
• 1/2 tsp shortening
• 4 frozen waffles, toasted crisply
• Sprinkles

Directions: Melt chips and shortening, stir until smooth. Cut each waffles into four wedges and dip point of each into the chocolate. Place on wax paper and garnish with sprinkles. Refrigerate until set.

Result?

Winner, Winner, Chocolate Dinner!

To make these more geared towards a holiday breakfast surprise, just grab some colored melts at the store and dip in Pink and White for Valentines Day, Blue and Purple for Easter, or Red, White, and Blue for the 4th of July!

We happened to have Chocolate chips and Valentines Day Sprinkles on hand, but there are numerous possibilities. And since the entire snack took under 15 minutes to create, you have plenty of time to mix it up.

Enjoy….
