INGREDIENTS
 4 Servings
  • 2 cups waffle mix
  • 1 1/3 cups milk

PREPARATION
  1. Preheat round waffle iron. Spray with no stick cooking spray. Mix all ingredients, except confectioners' sugar and candy pieces, until blended.
  2. Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto center of hot waffle iron. Close lid. Cook about 5 minutes or until no longer steaming. Carefully remove waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
