Tasting! Smuckers Snack'n Waffles
October 6th, 2010 • 19 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Mom, can I have some waffles? I’m still waiting for my waffles. When can you make me some waffles? Are my waffles ready yet?
Why must I be tormented with waffle requests? Please make them stop talking.
In the meantime, I’ll keep drooling over Smucker’s Snack’n Waffles. Smucker’s makes it easy to throw ‘dem waffles in the toaster (or the oven, or the microwave) with fewer hassles and less mess. You don’t even need a plate or fork. But don’t pour on the syrup, because these waffles come pre-infused with sweetness and choco-chip love (or the blueberry version if you want it).
Snack’ns are made with whole grains, so I like that. They’re doubley thicker than, say, an Eggo or Kashi waffle. It’s like the “texas toast” of all waffles. Nice and hearty, too, with NO cheap, frozen hockey puck feel. They cook up warm & toasty-crisp on the outside with a nice chewy inside!
But I barf at the price. They’re way too pricey for only 4 in a box – I can’t buy these all the time. This is one of those secrets foods you need to hide behind the frozen peas, so try it if you can. They’re bettah than a “normal” waffle. You can even eat it like a bum on the run.

I think even more than barfing at the price, I barf at these ingredients “artificial flavor, fructose, fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil”. No wonder America suffers from the highest rates of obesity which includes children right into those statistics.

Silver lining: which is why it’s a good thing they’re expensive. I can’t keep them around like that. Cha-ching!

I’m dying over your ratings. Not literally. That would be bad.
I love waffles but hate making them. Takes forever! Those look great but way too pricey.

75 cents a waffle? uh – yeah, I get that they would be cost prohibitive. I like my waffle iron very much. I make a bunch on a Sunday. Freeze and toast when the mood stricks and some flour, milk, egg and chips cost a whole lot less. No offense. If I didn’t have kids I could probably afford them. heehee [then I wouldn't have to hide them either]

My kids are the reason I look like boiled hogwash today. I’m at work with a ripped shirt due to cheap azz clothes (or maybe I was too strong when I rolled up my sleeve after lunch?). Either way, I blaming them for me having a ripped sleeve right now. Never mind that it just happened an hour ago and I haven’t seen them all day.
How’s THAT for expensive waffles?

Metamucil costs an extra lot. As does sunflower oil, which is only marginally offset by the price of hydrogenating it. (which devalues it on many levels.)
Okay, so I’m trying to make myself feel better about the price.

A box of 4? How many do you eat at once? Ive never eaten these but id need at least the whole box if they were like eggos. Even if theyre thicker this box would not feed 2 people. I’d rather just eat real homemade from scratch waffles. Yum.

You can get anything in the store these days! A plain waffle with syrup is preferred though. Something about syrup just makes it so good.
