This simple but impressive recipe is perfect for kids or teens to prepare – requiring very little adult supervision.

Bacon: (may be prepared in advance)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a non-stick cookie sheet or sheetpan lined with foil, arrange slices of bacon. Bake for 16-20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to “crisp”

Pour 1.5 C batter into iron and cook.

Berries:

Purchase, wash and slice Mom’s favorite berries.

Chocolate Syrup:

Be sure to pre-chill syrup such as Hershey’s – may also use warm caramel or hot fudge, which may be warmed in microwave.

Assembly:

Place one waffle on a plate. Add cream over top, then place berries and bacon on cream. Add second waffle on top of cream/bacon/berries and repeat process. Drizzle with desired syrup, fudge or caramel.
