Dash x Sweethearts Mini Waffle Maker: Valentine's Day Treats

Quick answer

The Dash x Sweethearts Mini Waffle Maker makes heart-shaped waffles that look like the iconic Valentine's Day candy. Use it for a festive breakfast, dessert, or giftable treat.

How to make heart-shaped waffles for Valentine's Day

1. Preheat and grease: Plug in the waffle maker and let it heat until the indicator light shows ready. Lightly brush the nonstick plates with oil or melted butter to ensure easy release. Skipping the grease can cause sticking even on nonstick surfaces, especially with low-fat batters.
2. Pour the batter: Pour about 2 tablespoons of your favorite waffle batter into the center of the heart-shaped plate. Do not overfill—batter will spread and may overflow, making a mess. If batter leaks out the sides, use less next time. A small cookie scoop helps keep portions consistent.
3. Close and cook: Close the lid and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the steam slows and the waffle is golden brown. Resist opening early—this can tear the waffle. Cooking time varies by batter thickness. Check at 3 minutes, then adjust for your preferred crispness.
4. Remove and decorate: Use a silicone spatula or wooden fork to gently lift the waffle off the plate. Let it cool slightly on a wire rack, then decorate with powdered sugar, frosting, sprinkles, or candy hearts. Metal utensils can scratch the nonstick coating. Stick with silicone or wood.
