That&#8217;s sad because, like Tic Tacs, their pill-like shape SCREAMS Minions. <\/p>\n<p>So no Wafflers shaped like Bob, Carl, Chris, Darwin, Dave, Donnie, Eric, Henry, Jerry, John, Jorge, Josh, Ken, Kevin, Lance, Larry, Mark, Mel, Mike, Norbert, Phil, Paul, Steve, Tim, Tom, or Tony.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m forgiving the brand a little because these Wafflers are not bad, with or without syrup. Now, if you&#8217;re familiar with Eggo Wafflers, you know they&#8217;re packed with flavor. In this case, it&#8217;s chocolatey chips and banana pur\u00e9e, so syrup isn\u2019t necessary. Sure, you could add some, after all, they&#8217;re waffles with pockets to hold syrup, but they&#8217;re fine without.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Kelloggs-Despicable-Me-Chocolatey-Chip-Banana-Eggo-Wafflers-2.jpg?resize=598%2C423\" alt=\"Kellogg s Despicable Me Chocolatey Chip Banana Eggo Wafflers 2\" title=\"Kellogg's Despicable Me Chocolatey Chip Banana Eggo Wafflers 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"423\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Kelloggs-Despicable-Me-Chocolatey-Chip-Banana-Eggo-Wafflers-3.jpg?resize=599%2C431\" alt=\"Kellogg s Despicable Me Chocolatey Chip Banana Eggo Wafflers 3\" title=\"Kellogg's Despicable Me Chocolatey Chip Banana Eggo Wafflers 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"431\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t make your toaster\u2019s immediate vicinity smell like the yellow-skinned fruit while between the heating elements. But if you bring it up to your nose like you\u2019re a monkey determining whether or not you have a banana in your hand, it\u2019ll have a natural overripe banana aroma. The fruit puree baked into the waffle gives the breakfast item a pleasing natural flavor. So you fist-shaking Banana Runts haters, might not hate this.<\/p>\n<p>The chips are exactly like what you\u2019d taste with Chocolatey Chip Eggo Waffles \u2014 a slightly unnatural chocolate flavor. They\u2019re not evenly spread across each waffle bar (yes, that\u2019s what Kellogg\u2019s called them), so some bites will be all banana.<\/p>\n<p>I like these Chocolatey Chip Banana Eggo Wafflers, and I\u2019m sure Bob, Carl, Chris, Darwin, Dave, Donnie, Eric, Henry, Jerry, John, Jorge, Josh, Ken, Kevin, Lance, Larry, Mark, Mel, Mike, Norbert, Phil, Paul, Steve, Tim, Tom, and Tony would also like them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.49*<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 16 waffle bars\/10.7 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (2 waffles\/4 waffle bars) &#8211; 230 calories, 80 calories from fat, 8 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 320 milligrams of sodium, 60 milligrams of potassium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><small>*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
