For this Stranger Things Halloween waffle bar I pre-made a selection of waffle flavors for my guests - 11 different flavors for Eleven's favorite food.
I made two chocolate options:
Flavor 1 - Nutella® & Banana
Spread Nutella® over a chocolate chip waffle. Then slice banana on top.
Flavor 2 - Chocolate Pudding Sandwich
Add a thick layer of chocolate pudding between two chocolate chip waffles.
There were 2 berry options:
Flavor 3 - Strawberry & Cream
Add whipped cream to a strawberry waffle. Dice fresh strawberries on top of the cream.
Flavor 4 - Blueberry & Cream
Add whipped cream to a blueberry waffle. Add fresh blueberries on top of the cream.
A delicious apple pie inspired topping came next.
Flavor 5 - Apple Pie
First, thinly slice apple and roughly cut walnuts. Then add cream to a plain waffle, adding the apple and walnuts on top. Finally, sprinkle cinnamon on top.
I followed this with a couple of birthday favorites. Who says you can't have these on Halloween?
Flavor 6 - Cookies & Cream Sandwich
First add a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream to a chocolate chip waffle. Next roughly cut up Oreo® cookies and sprinkle on top. Place the second waffle on top to create an ice-cream sandwich.
Flavor 7 - Birthday Cake
Add a layer of white icing to a waffle. Then lightly (or generously!!) add sprinkles.
Next came the classics.
Flavor 8 - Maple syrup
Is there anything better than maple syrup generously poured over an Eggo® waffle?
Flavor 9 - Maple & Cinnamon
Use the mini cinnamon waffles. Add maple syrup and an extra dash of cinnamon.
Lastly, a touch of savory.
Flavor 10 - Peanut Butter & Jelly
Just like the lunchtime staple, except with waffles! Spread peanut butter onto a waffle and then add grape jelly.
Flavor 11 - The Breakfast Sandwich
Just like the classic breakfast sandwich add egg, a sausage patty and cheese, however this time eat them between two waffles.
I placed the pre-made waffles on a selection of cake stands and trays. Including a Footed Cake Stand and a diamond cut serving tray on top of a black painted Gold Charger.
Next, I also provided the toppings for guests to create their own combinations at the waffle bar.
I added the actual containers for most toppings (e.g. maple syrup, jelly and cream).
For other toppings (e.g. chocolate pudding and berries) I used Mini Diamond Cut Pedestal Cut Dishes that I had spray painted black (note: on the outside only). I also added spoons for serving from these dishes.
Next I created the labels for the pre-made waffles. The labels are available for free download.
Use a 2" hole punch to cut out the labels. Then tape a Bamboo Skewer to the back of the label. The bamboo skewer can then be inserted into the waffle stack.
Note: You may need to cut these down (with scissors) to fit the size of the stack.

A larger label is also provided for download. Use scissors to cut this out and follow the steps above to add it to the waffle bar.
For the Waffle Bar signage I painted a ceramic pumpkin white and added the words "Waffle Bar".
The Waffle Bar words are available for download HERE. Cut these out and glue to the pumpkin. Alternatively, convert the file to a .jpg and cut out the words using a cutting machine if you have one.
I then wrapped the pumpkin in Christmas tree lights and placed it on top of a small black cake stand.
Note: I used the Something Strange font.
Finally, I used the empty waffle boxes as decoration on the Waffle Bar. Placing some on cake stands and using others to display dishes of toppings.
