Chocolate Espresso Bat Heavenly Waffles

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 8–10 minutes | Servings: 6 bat waffles

Ingredients

For the Waffles

• 1 1/4 cup Heavenly Waffles Chocolate Espresso dry mix
• 1 cup sparkling water (or club soda)
• 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil (can also use coconut oil, ghee, or neutral oil of choice)
• 1 large egg
  
  

For the Bat Decorations

• 6 fresh strawberries
• 1 cup melted chocolate (milk or dark)
• Candy eyes (store-bought or DIY with white chocolate & mini chocolate chips)

Directions

1. Make the Waffles

• Prepare the Chocolate Espresso Heavenly Waffles according to package directions. Cook until crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
• Allow waffles to cool slightly, then cut each waffle in half — these will become the “bat wings.” You can use a round or square waffle iron
  

2. Prepare the Strawberries

• Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly. Dip each one in melted chocolate.
• Place on parchment paper and press 2 candy eyes into each strawberry while the chocolate is still soft. Let set until firm.
  

3. Assemble the Bats

• Place one chocolate-covered strawberry in the middle of a plate.
• Position two waffle halves on either side to look like wings.
• Repeat until you have a spooky plate of bat waffles!
