What are Croiffles? Croffle? or Crofle?
They’re spelled differently but they’re all the same. It’s basically a day old croissant that’s cooked in a waffle maker. It’s like what happens when a waffle and croissant hook up and get together. You get a crispy pastry like a waffle but also with the delicious layers that the croissants bring. These croffles became viral on TikTok and other social media platforms. But unlike other food trends, these croiffles are legit. Delicious and worth th effort.

How to Eat a Croffle?
Simply eat it like you would your favorite waffles. Add maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit or whipped cream. Or if you’re obsessed waffle eaters, then add all the toppings. We love adding a dusting of powdered sugar and topped with fresh fruit. Or if you want a savory version, then add some bacon, ham and scrambled eggs on top!
