What do you get when you cross a croissant and waffle?

[Raymond Lin]

A Croffle.

It's a recent Korean food trend, thought I give it a try but i am too lazy to make my own pastry so bought this. It's EXCELLENT for not a lot of money, £2 and makes 6.

I wouldn't say recent, they've been a 'thing' for years? More like 'increased in popularity thanks to recent *insert social media platform name*'.

I'm not sure what happened to get the first picture to the second one?

You've just taken the pain au choc dough and chucked it in a waffle iron?

Yes.

That's a wassant, not a croiffle....

A guy I follow on youtube did a review of this, as well as a few other similar things:

He's much more impressed with the pains au chocolat than he is with the croissant.

In France they call it a Pains au Waffolat.

 

[drakulton]

It's a Kerfuffle

Must say I saw a Man v Food (or it may have been Diners, drive-ins and dives) and they made waffles from mac n cheese and they looked absolutely the mutts nuts would love to try them.

And now I need a waffle iron...!

they are both pretty meh and taste a bit weird imo which is weird since it should be mostly butter and flour.

been tempted to get the croissant one again though and put nutella or something inside or just dark chocolate

I had something like this many years ago in France - I've never found anything quite the same since.

my local morrisons had them on offer 3for£2 but sold out

The cinnamon swirls are pretty good. Although, making the croissants with a layer of cinnamon and sugar before rolling are very nice too.

These sorts of crossover bakery products have been available for years! My fave being the ‘cruffin’.

 

[bazzabear]

Tried these the other day. They're alright. Suffer from the exact same problem as the pain au chocolat they're based on though (not unexpectedly) - not enough chocolate!

Now melting a bit of Nutella on top of one of them fixes the issue nicely.

Best thing like this at the moment is the YumNut from M&S. They are bloody lush
