Neat to Eat ~ Stroopwafels

 

We are a Stroopwafel lovin' household.

Long before any of us had been to the

Netherlands we were all hooked on them.

And no one more so than Brennan, any

time we make a Trader Joe's run, he always

requests them.

 

 

On my first visit to Amsterdam I saw

this guy selling stroopwafels at the

Albert Cuyp Market.

 

 

Why didn't I try one of the chocolate

dipped ones?  I'm never hungry when

I come upon these great things...

 

 

Stroopwafels are two very thin waffles

with a syrupy caramel sandwiched

between them.  The best way to eat

them is to place the large ones on top

of a cup of a hot beverage.  This melts

the caramel and makes one waffle soft

while the other is still crisp.  Num!

 

 

When I was in Amsterdam a few weeks

ago I noticed many cute little stroopwafel

shops.  When I was in the big supermarket

behind the palace, I noticed a group of Asian

girls filling their baskets with these little bags

of the mini stroopwafels.  I guessed they were

buying them as gifts to take home.  So, I brought

a bag home for Brennan.
