At the Palace in Brussels, the Queen’s favorite snack gets a makeover around Valentine’s Day. Every February 14, well before sunrise, the chefs in the royal kitchen are busy baking, and the Queen delightfully wakes up to the aromas of our famous Liege wafels. Under the chirping of rare nightingales in the gardens, the royal family then dips their warm waffles in the finest, most exquisite "dinges". The King glances over at the Queen. His discrete wink marks the moment: let's bring out our rich, creamy, nearly decadent hot cocoa, and celebrate!
Includes:
Shipping to NYC Tri-State:
We ship Monday through Friday, except for holidays. Our daily cut-off time for orders is 1:00pm EST. Our wafels are baked & shipped the same day. Our standard shipping service is Fedex Ground (Tri-state) or Fedex Express Saver.
Nationwide, beyond the NYC Tri-State:
We ship Monday through Wednesday, except holidays, so that your product doesn’t “sit” over the weekend. We recommend that for all nationwide orders that you select a delivery day that is 2-4 days ahead of your desired date for an on-time arrival.
Fridge: when received (and not immediately devoured), store your waffles in the fridge and enjoy them within 10 days of the ordering date.
Freezer: you may also store your waffles (airtight) in the freezer and spread the joy for up to two months.
How to reheat: there aren’t many things the Queen and King agree on, but they do share an aversion to microwaving wafels! Here’s the royal way to warm them up, from room temperature:
In the oven, for 10 minutes at 300 °F
In the toaster, at lowest (warming) setting - for two cycles
No need to reheat the chocolinis, they are meant to be eaten at room temperature.
Topping with dinges:
At the Belgian Wafel Academy, many Master & PhD courses are dedicated to this topic. There are many rules, and Belgians are very strict about their “dinges” rules. Here in America however, we can put as many toppings as we like. We’d recommend our signature spekuloos spread, Belgian chocolate fudge, whipped cream and fresh strawberries or bananas. Listen to your inner dinges voice!
Once opened, our spreads jars remains great for at least 6 weeks. Although, to give them a long and happy life we recommend to store them in the fridge. Stir the contents well before spreading the goodness!
hot cocoa kit royal
Prepare 1 cup of warm milk. Stir in 2 tbsp of hot cocoa powder (add more if you like it stronger).
Add marshmallows, if desired add whipped cream.
Decorate with chocolate blossoms for a finishing touch.
Traditional liege wafels contain: wheat (gluten), dairy, eggs, yeast, and may contain traces of soy, nuts
Hot cocoa kit royale: Ingredients: cocoa powder, powdered milk, confectioner sugar, natural spices
Allergens: dairy (may contain traces of tree nuts)
I’m seeing dark spots on the edge of my wafels, did you burn them? Our wafels are made the traditional way with imported pearl sugar. The melted / boiling sugar in our irons can leave caramelized (darker) spots. This is a good thing, typical for Liège wafels
Should I count the calories?
The approximate calorie count is 190 cal for a wafelini and 380 cal for a traditional Liège wafel, but you know what they say: "Don’t count the calories, just make the calories count!"
