What’s Up, Hungry People

Some nights you crave waffles. Some nights you crave s’mores. And some nights, you crave both! That’s the position I found myself in a few nights ago, at least. But it also just so happened we didn’t exactly have any of the ingredients for traditional waffles and barely the right s’mores essentials.

So, I had to get creative.

Surprisingly, the absence of waffle mix was no problem. Substituting in mini chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs perfectly captured all the s’more flavors. Marshmallow fluff played a crucial role, acting as a binder that held everything together.

Here’s What You Need

Biscuit dough: Provides a versatile, easy base for the waffles.
Mini chocolate chips: Adds a sweet, chocolaty flavor that complements the s’mores theme.
Marshmallows: Melt inside the waffles, creating a gooey, sweet center.
Marshmallow fluff: Acts as a binder and topping, adding a creamy texture and sweetness.
Graham cracker crumbs: Bring the classic s’more flavor with a crunchy texture.

For my s’more waffles, I started with canned biscuit dough—flattening each piece and pressing mini chocolate chips into the center. I then placed marshmallows in the center and folded the dough around them, carefully sealing the edges to ensure no filling could escape.

Let’s Cook

After preparing the stuffed biscuits, it’s just a matter of heating up your waffle iron. Once it’s ready, place the stuffed biscuits inside and cook for about 4-6 minutes at a medium-high setting, until each biscuit is golden brown and irresistibly inviting. The marshmallows inside will likely melt and may even evaporate slightly, leaving behind a sweet, crispy center.

To serve, I stacked the waffles and used a stick to keep them together—think campfire s’mores meets chic street food. I then drizzled more marshmallow fluff over the top for extra gooeyness and a final sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for that quintessential s’more flavor. What I love about these waffles is their versatility; they are perfect as a novel breakfast option or as a fun dessert!

Tips for Perfect S’more Waffles

Preheating the waffle iron: Make sure your waffle iron is fully heated before adding the stuffed biscuits. This ensures a crisp exterior and fully cooked interior.
- A well-heated waffle iron is key to achieving that golden brown finish on your waffles. It also helps prevent the dough from sticking, making cleanup easier. If your waffles are sticking or not browning properly, it might be a sign that your waffle iron isn’t hot enough.
Sealing the edges of the biscuits: Take extra care to seal the edges well to keep the fillings from leaking out during cooking.
- Properly sealed edges help retain all the delicious fillings, ensuring every bite is as good as it looks. If you find that the fillings are escaping, it may be because the edges are not pinched together firmly enough.
Using a skewer to serve: Inserting a skewer can help hold the stacked waffles together, making them easier to handle and eat.
- The skewer not only adds a fun, portable element to your s’more waffles but also helps keep all the layers together, especially if you’re serving them as a party snack. If your waffles are falling apart when moving them, consider cutting the skewer to a suitable length that balances the stack better.
Adjusting sweetness: Depending on your preference for sweetness, adjust the amount of marshmallow fluff and chocolate chips.
- While the original recipe provides a sweet, dessert-like experience, you can easily modify the amount of marshmallow fluff and chocolate chips if you prefer something less sweet, especially if serving for breakfast.

In the end, whipping up these waffles on a stick turned out to be a fantastic kitchen experiment that paid off with big flavor. They’re just the right mix of nostalgic campfire treats and cozy morning fare. Whether you’re looking for a fun new breakfast idea or a creative dessert that’s sure to impress, these waffles fit the bill. They’re easy to make, fun to eat, and absolutely delicious. So next time you’re stuck between craving something sweet and something comforting, remember that you don’t have to choose—just enjoy the best of both worlds!

Equipment

Ingredients

1 can biscuit dough 8 individual raw biscuits
½ cup mini chocolate chips
4 marshmallows + more as desired
1 cup marshmallow fluff
¼ cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

Preheat and spray the waffle iron with cooking oil. Flatten the biscuits between your palms until 1/4 inch thick.
Press 1-2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips into the center of each biscuit. Place a marshmallow on top of half of the biscuits.
Take the other half of each biscuit and press the dough over the marshmallow, enclosing it between the two biscuits. Pinch the edges together.
Place a single biscuit in the center of the waffle iron and press down firmly. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and golden brown. The marshmallow will likely melt and evaporate out of the centers, leaving a crispy, sweet middle. Repeat with the remaining stuffed biscuits.
Cut or separate the waffles into fourths and stack. Secure with a bamboo skewer and drizzle marshmallow fluff over the waffles. Sprinkle on the graham cracker crumbs. Serve as a special breakfast or extra sweet dessert. Enjoy!
