Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3 eggs, beaten
• cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon flaked sea salt
• 1 (12 ounce) bag dark chocolate chips
• ½ cup chopped roasted peanuts
• 60 lollipop sticks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Grease a waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Whisk milk, beaten eggs, butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour over flour mixture; stir until batter is just moistened.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl.

Step 6

Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes.

Step 7

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.
