Just simple ingredients
Directions
Make the Waffles
Crisp up the mini waffles by heating them according to the package instructions. A couple of rounds in the toaster will do the trick for those extra crispy edges. Let them cool to prevent ripping.
Get the Fruit Ready
Wash the blueberries and strawberries. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them in half.
Build the Kabobs
Get your skewers ready! Thread two blueberries, half a strawberry, and then a mini waffle. Follow with a pattern of blueberry, strawberry, blueberry, mini waffle, repeated until all ingredients are used.
Finish them Off
Lay the kabobs on a flat surface and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Add syrup and whipped topping if you’re feeling extra sweet.

Recipe Substitutions and Variations
Waffle Substitutions: Cut full size waffles into quarters if you don’t have the minis. Try French Toast sticks for another option.
Fruit Swaps: Replace blueberries with other berries like blackberries and raspberries. Use thick chunks of banana and drizzle with chocolate or peanut butter for a different flavor combo.
Toppings: Drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup instead of maple syrup. Try using honey or yogurt as a dip instead of whipped cream.

Tips & Tricks

- Cooling Time: Allow waffles to cool completely before assembling to avoid tearing.
- Full-Length Skewer: Using a 12-inch skewer provides stability.
Recipe Notes & FAQ
How can I make sure my waffles don’t tear when skewering?
Toast them until crispy and let them cool completely before skewering.
How can I stop the waffles or fruit from sliding on the skewer?
Make sure the skewers are pushed through the center of the waffles and fruit. Cooling the waffles helps them hold their shape.
How far ahead can I make these?
You can make these up to a few hours before serving. Store them in the fridge and sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving.
Can I make my own waffles?
This recipe uses frozen Eggo Mini Waffles, but you can try to make your own. As long as you can get them nice and crispy, they should be skewer-able.
