True, the waffle looks cute with its little pumpkin topper but, I was hoping for more. Where’s the spooky, eerie quality to this waffle treat. Plus, if this Strangers Things recipe is the first course, how am I going to make it to course nine? That amount of sugar and cream cheese is a lot of sugar. Even a smaller pumpkin would have a pretty substantial sugar load.
But, if you look through the Eggo’s website, the other creative recipes can make a waffle fan drool. Savory, spicy or twists on breakfast favorites, Eggos can be transformed into almost anything. Personally, I like a slightly sweet with my waffles. Fresh fruit with a bit of honey is always a winning choice. If I’m going savory, I like bacon, egg and cheese. Who says you need bread for a breakfast sandwich?
Keep checking back with the Eggo website on its Stranger Things Eggo menu pairings. Who knows what the final combinations will be. Just don’t be a spoiler. No one likes the person who doesn’t leggo of the Eggo.
