I picked up both the Rich and Indulgent Mixed Berry Filled Waffles and the Rich and Indulgent Custard Filled Waffles, and let me tell you, my taste buds are still thanking me.
First up, the Mixed Berry Filled Waffles. When I saw the pink box, I was already intrigued, and they did not disappoint. The moment these came out of the toaster, the aroma of sweet berries filled my kitchen. Each waffle is perfectly golden, and biting into it reveals a generous pocket of warm, slightly tart, mixed berry filling. It's like a little burst of summer in every bite! The berries aren't overly sweet, which I appreciate, and they perfectly complement the light, fluffy texture of the waffle itself. I love how the image showed "fresh berries" – that vibe definitely translates to the taste profile. It truly feels indulgent without being heavy. These are fantastic for a quick breakfast or even a delightful dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Then there are the Custard Filled Waffles from the blue box. Oh my goodness, these are pure comfort food. The custard filling is incredibly creamy and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness. It's not too eggy, which can sometimes be an issue with custard, but perfectly balanced. When warmed, the custard becomes wonderfully gooey, making each bite incredibly satisfying. The image showing the "creamy custard" inside was spot on. These reminded me of a warm, deconstructed pastry, but in waffle form. If you're a fan of classic sweet treats, these will absolutely hit the spot.
What really impressed me about both varieties of Bettergoods waffles is the quality. The fact that they are made in Belgium really shines through. Belgian waffles are known for their distinct texture – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside – and these embody that perfectly, even from frozen. Each box contains 4 waffles, which is a decent amount for a couple of breakfasts or a family brunch.
Preparation is super simple too, which is a huge plus for busy mornings. I popped mine straight into the toaster oven on a medium setting for about 3-4 minutes, and they came out perfectly golden and heated through. You could also use a regular toaster or even a conventional oven if you're making more. I found that the toaster oven gave them the best crispy exterior while keeping the fillings warm and gooey.
In terms of convenience, quality, and flavor, these Bettergoods waffles are a solid 10/10 for me. They’re a fantastic way to elevate your breakfast game with minimal effort. Whether you're craving something fruity and vibrant with the mixed berry, or rich and comforting with the custard, these frozen delights are definitely worth adding to your shopping list. Trust me, your mornings will thank you!
The custard filled ones look so good!
