Honoring the Patron Saint of Waffles and Lady Friends: A Galentine's Day Celebration

As we gather here today, I'm Jenny and I'm joined by my friend Liz to honor our patron saint, Leslie Knope, the beloved character from Parks and Recreation. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, but for us, it's all about celebrating our friendship with a special holiday called Galentine's Day. According to Leslie, Galentine's Day is the best day of the year, and we can't get enough of breakfast, waffles, and work – or waffles and work, whichever way you choose! The three most important things in life are interchangeable, and we're excited to mix it up a little bit with this fun project.

To start, we've made adorable waffles on a stick, which will be topped with chocolate, sprinkles, and other fun treats. We'll also tie cute gift tags to each one, making them the perfect presents for our lady friends. Our waffle maker is already filled with mix, and we're adding about two tablespoons of batter to each square. We want to keep it simple today, so we're using a pre-made mix instead of making our own from scratch. We add the waffle batter to the maker, and then pop them into the oven at 250 degrees while we make some more levels.

While our waffles are baking, we have our short wooden skewers ready to use as sticks for each waffle pop. We're using a sharp end to put into the waffle, which makes it look like a tiny little puffed pastry. The result is a delicious and adorable treat that's sure to impress. Now that our waffles are almost done, we can start decorating! We have three different kinds of colors and melted candy melts at our disposal, along with lots of sprinkles and crushed-up cookies for added fun. This is the part where we get to let our creativity shine – it's my favorite part of the process!

As we flip our waffles over to decorate the other side, we'll add a block of chocolate to each one. We want to make sure everything looks as delicious as possible, so we're taking our time and making sure each piece is perfect. Once our waffles are decorated, we'll let them dry completely before packaging them up in cellophane bags. We'll tie some ribbon around the top for a cute touch, and then add some food to go along with each gift.

As we finish up our Galentine's Day treats, I have to say that they're absolutely adorable! The cutest waffle pops you've ever seen, if I do say so myself. And the best part? They're all made with love, just for our lady friends. We're excited to give them out as gifts and share in the joy of Galentine's Day. So, how are you celebrating this special holiday?
