Kids love these fun and delicious waffles with crunchy chocolate crispies and real raspberries!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But that doesn’t meant that it can’t be fun, too! Thing 1 and Thing 2 simply love waffles. In truth, I don’t have to do anything fancy – they will be ecstatic that I am making waffles, even if they are just plain. But they were over the moon for this fun version!
They loved it when I let them sprinkle the chocolate crispies on the waffle batter so that they could control the amount of crispy in their serving. As you can imagine, they added WAY more than I would, but a little excess is what makes this breakfast fun and special!
You can use fresh or frozen raspberries in the waffles. I tend to use the frozen because I keep a stash of them in the freezer to pull out whenever the mood strikes.
But it is always nice to garnish with fresh raspberries on top when serving! Either way, these get gobbled up before I can even pour them a glass of orange juice or milk to go with it!

I need to try making these with GF flour… I have been really into waffles lately! Let’s be honest, always – just not since the whole GF thing until I found really good ones and then decided to attempt making my own.
