Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag dark chocolate chips
  • 60 lollipop sticks
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon flaked sea salt

Method

  • Grease a waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk milk, beaten eggs, butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour over flour mixture; stir until batter is just moistened.
  • Scoop 2 teaspoons of batter into the waffle iron for each waffle pop, leaving space between each one. Insert a lollipop stick 3/4 of the way into each pool of batter. Close lid; cook until golden and crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer waffle pop to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter and lollipop sticks.
  • Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Scoop melted chocolate into a pastry bag fitted with a small writing tip or into a plastic resealable bag with a corner snipped off. Drizzle chocolate over one side of the waffle pops.
  • Sprinkle peanuts and a small pinch of flaked salt over pops while chocolate is still warm. Let cool until chocolate firms up, about 5 minutes.
