For fun party fare, set up a waffle bar. Guests take a plain waffle and add favorite toppings to create their dream waffle dessert.

Set out different bowls of:

Sliced bananas and other fruits
Berries
Chocolate chips
Toffee bits
Sliced almonds
Syrups and/or dessert sauces (chocolate, caramel, berry)
Whipped cream
Ice cream
Anything else that adds to the fun (M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces)

Treat your guests to a waffle bar.

You can make the dessert healthier by serving whole-grain waffles and replacing the sugary toppings with healthier ones—for example, strawberry purée instead of heavily sugared dessert sauces.

Another better-for-you dessert sauce is low-glycemic agave nectar, available at natural food stores. Flavored agave dessert syrups are available from OrganicNectars.com.
