Mini Waffle Pops with Chocolate, Coconut, and Macadamia Nuts

a flatbread that originates in a breadmaker and is finished up on a grill outside. When the power went out for the entire day, my sister’s bread machine was raising a batch of bread dough when she “discovered” this loaf. Incredible.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 3 mins
Total Time: 33 mins
Servings: 60
Yield: 60 waffle pops

Ingredients

  1. 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  2. 3 tablespoons white sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  4. ½ teaspoon salt
  5. 1 ½ cups milk
  6. 3 eggs, beaten
  7. ½ cup butter, melted
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 60 lollipop sticks
  10. 6 ounces dark chocolate chips
  11. 6 ounces white chocolate chips
  12. ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
  13. ½ cup chopped roasted macadamia nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and grease a waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moistened.
  4. Pour 2 teaspoons batter into the preheated waffle iron for each waffle, leaving spaces between each. Insert a lollipop stick about 3/4 of the way into each pool of batter; close the lid. Cook until golden and crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer each waffle pop to a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer melted dark chocolate to a pastry bag fitted with a small writing tip or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped; drizzle over 1 side of each waffle pop.
  6. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer melted white chocolate to a pastry bag fitted with a small writing tip or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped; drizzle over the dark chocolate.
  7. Sprinkle coconut and macadamia nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing lightly to help toppings stick while chocolate cools and firms.
  8. All waffle irons are built differently and will affect the batch size. My circular waffle iron was able to close over waffle pops baked in the 2 front sections only, so my batch size was 2 at a time. Your batch size may vary.
