- Scoop batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions until golden brown and crisp.
- For the glaze: Combine powdered sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, maple extract, and salt in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Cut each waffle in half and insert an ice-pop stick into the short side of each piece.
- Drizzle glaze over each waffle. Decorate half the pops with cereal and the other half with nonpareils.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- These waffle pops are best served fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for a crispy texture.
