Stranger Things Season 3 Waffles Recipe

You know one of the things I get excited over as a parent? When I find a show, but not just any show, a really good series  that I can watch with my teen, like Stranger Things Season 3.

With so many choices these days you would think this would be easy. Unfortunately there’s so much questionable content out there which makes it not so simple.

Thankfully Netflix brought Stranger Things into our lives a few years ago and my teenage son and I quickly became obsessed. Three years later, after getting immediately hooked on this set in the 80’s-supernatural-mystery series, Stranger Things season 3 arrived.

We wanted to celebrate season 3 in a fun way, and what’s better than food. Whether you are a fanatic like my teen and I or a Stranger Things newbie, you will want to keep reading to get this easy waffle recipe, which is perfect for the holidays.

What is the plot of Stranger Things?

First let me say there are no spoilers here. If you have yet to start watching this incredible show, I will give you a brief overview about the plot of Stranger Things. 

The show’s backdrop is Indiana in the 1980s (which that alone is pretty epic). A young boy, Will Byers, vanishes into thin air near a top-secret government laboratory.

The same night of Will’s disappearance a strange young girl, who gets called Eleven, appears at a local diner.

This whole quiet town gets turned upside down which creates a supernatural trail, extraordinary mysteries, tests the bonds of friendship and much more. 

Is Stranger Things Season 3 The Last?

Even though Strangers Things season 3 was released back on July 4th, I haven’t finished watching it yet. After I finish the season I’ll be able to give you my thoughts on whether or not I think there will be a season 4. 

I have heard, after reading various things online, that Stranger Things will end after season 4 or 5.  Hopefully that means we still have a few years left to soak up this amazing show. 

What Food Do They Eat on Stranger Things?

Food is my love language and I have noticed that it plays a pretty big role on Stranger Things too.

When you think about the foods they eat on the show, the kids are seen enjoying everything from sausage and pepperoni pizza, to scrambled eggs and of course Eleven’s favorite food, Eggo waffles.

You know how when you think of E.T. your mind instantly goes to Reese’s Pieces? Well, that is kind of what Eggos are to Stranger Things. 

Keeping that in mind, my son and I decided a great way to bring together our love for this show plus celebrating Christmas would be to share our Eleven inspired waffle cake recipe.

So we whipped up homemade waffles (which I will show you how to easily create), instead of using Eggos

  8. Once you have 3 waffles fully cooked, assemble the "waffle cake" by putting whipping cream between each layer, then drawing a loose "w" shaped line with the black writing icing, two times across the top waffle.
  9. Using the colorful icings, add dots of one color of icing to each point of the "w" lines -- I used two dots of each color.
