Wallace Waffleton McStroop IV
Wallace Waffleton McStroop the Fourth (but call him Wally) was made for adventure. Wally spends his days traveling to far-away lands, exploring caves and forgotten ruins to find riches and ancient artifacts. But Wally won’t stop searching until he has recovered the treasure that was stolen from his great-grandwaffle, Wallace Waffelton McStroop the First–the Mystic Jewel of Mapletonia. According to legend, Wallace Waffleton McStroop the First was brutally murdered by his former friend, Lord Featherface Nuggetworth, a foul thief with piercing blue eyes and a heart as hollow as a chicken bone. To this day, the jewel is constantly hidden and re-hidden by a descendent of the murderous jewel thief–but Wally is hot on the trail. Wally uses his 6th degree blackbelt in judo, his photographic memory, and his nose for treasure to hunt for his the jewel and avenge his family.

What Goes On A Waffle (And What Does Not)
Wally here, taking a break from my bad guy-fighting, treasure-hunting, and vengeance-finding to indulge in one of my other hobbies–making waffles! My family are all waffle-masters, crafting the most delectable waffles since someone put pancake dough in squares. We used the power of the Mystic Jewel of Mapletonia to craft the most delectable, golden waffles in the entire world. But since that jewel was stolen by Lord Featherface Nuggetworth 100 years ago, we have had to use more conventional methods to make our waffles wonderful. Here’s a quick guide to help you put good stuff on a waffle:
What To Put On A Waffle:
Waffles are like tasty breakfast pillows with built-in pockets for your favorite flavors. Take a look at some of the ways you can fill those pockets and make your tastebuds dance! REMEMBER! Always ask an adult to help you use the waffle maker!
Feeling Sweet?
- Chocolate syrup and berries
- Peanut butter and banana slices
- Marshmallow fluff, crumbled graham crackers, and chocolate chips
- Butter and jam
- And the classic, maple syrup!
Feeling Savory?
- Cheddar cheese, bacon, and eggs
- Avocado and olive oil
- Pasta sauce and melted mozzarella
- Fried chicken!
Bonus! Use two waffles to make a sandwich with your favorite fillings!
What Not To Put On A Waffle:
It’s fun to get creative with waffles! But it’s not fun to break your teeth on a waffle full of dangerous things. Here are some things you definitely shouldn’t put on a waffle:
- Boogers
- Shampoo
- Wet catfood
- Matches
- Rusty nails – not even if you already got your tetanus shot!
- Your mom’s wallet
- Your dad’s wallet
- Anyone’s wallet
- Freshly-pulled baby teeth
- Your homework
- Your sister’s homework
- Crayons
- Pickle juice (actually, this one might be okay)
- Pickle juice with broken glass in it (NOT OKAY!)
And many, many more!
