Equipment

  • Kitchen torch (can use a broiler but you can find these at most kitchen & home goods stores)
  • waffle griddle

Ingredients

For Waffles

  • 120 grams 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 120 grams 7 1/2 whole crackers finely ground graham crackers (we prefer organic ones!)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or similarly flaky salt
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 100 grams 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 85 grams 1/2 stick or about 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned (still liquid but slightly cooled)
  • 40 grams 2 tablespoons honey
  • 240 grams 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature

For Assembly

  • Lindt EXCELLENCE bars in your choice of flavors recommend caramel and sea salt, dark chocolate, chili, pomegranate, and classic white
  • homemade marshmallows

Instructions

  • whisk together the flour, graham cracker “flour”, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • in another mixing bowl combine the light brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, brown butter, honey, and milk. stir to combine thoroughly.
  • pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine until no dry bits remain. don’t over stir the batter, a few lumps are fine. If stirring the chocolate and marshmallows directly into the batter, do this now. I eyeball it, using about a half cup of each.
  • heat your waffle iron and cook waffle batter in 1/4 cup portions according to the manufacturer’s instructions. for big waffles, use a half cup.
  • you can keep waffles warm in a low oven while you wait for them all to cook, but they’re best served hot and crispy right off the iron.
  • if assembling, place a square of chocolate on a hot waffle, top with a marshmallow, and torch the marshmallow on all sides until very brown, toasted, and warm. Top with another waffle, and enjoy!
  • Alternately you can top a waffle with a marshmallow, put it under your broiler until toasted, and then top it with chocolate and another hot waffle. I don’t recommend putting the chocolate under the broiler as it can melt pretty quickly. This method works well if you’re looking to serve a bunch of them at the same time.
