Sure, you&#8217;ve gobbled 241 chicken wings in 30 minutes, swallowed 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes, consumed 6.3 pounds of asparagus in 11.5 minutes, chugged a gallon of milk in 41 seconds, and scarfed down 10.5 pounds of macaroni and cheese in seven minutes, but I&#8217;m pretty sure you&#8217;ve ingested zero Smuckers Chocolate Chip Snack&#8217;n Waffles in 45 minutes, so I&#8217;m totally kicking your ass right now.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I probably hold the world record in the number Smuckers Chocolate Chip Snack&#8217;n Waffles consumed in 45 minutes.  I haven&#8217;t heard of anyone else accomplishing what I did.  Originally, I only did it because on the product&#8217;s packaging there are four ways to prepare the Snack&#8217;n Waffles &#8212; microwave, thaw and serve, toaster and conventional oven &#8212; and I wanted to try them all.  But after I was done with the last one, I realized that I might&#8217;ve accomplished something that has never been done before.  So I searched the internet and found out that no one else did it, including you.<\/p>\n<p>But you did once inhale 103 Krystal sliders in 8 minutes and 9.8 pounds of pork rib meat in 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>When you do attempt to beat my world record of four Smuckers Chocolate Chip Snack&#8217;n Waffles in 45 minutes, which you won&#8217;t beat, might I suggest preparing them in the microwave so that you don&#8217;t have to wait very long to taste something sweet before you taste the bitterness of defeat and your sour tears from failure.<\/p>\n<p>I would also suggest having a lot of napkins around because these mini Belgian Waffle-looking snacks are messy thanks to the real chocolate chips in them, which seem to melt at room temperature.  Each Snack&#8217;n Waffle has 16 grams of whole grains, but you probably won&#8217;t notice because the chocolate chips and presweetened waffle pretty much hides that fact from your taste buds.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, they are a bit sweet, but I think they&#8217;re quite good.  <\/p>\n<p>However, not everything about them is so sweet.  They don&#8217;t taste as good out of the toaster.  Even though it warms the Snack&#8217;n Waffles up and makes them crispy, it&#8217;s like the toaster burned away some of the chocolate flavor.  But they do taste fine after either sticking them in a conventional oven for 5-7 minutes or letting them thaw for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Also, their density doesn&#8217;t remind me of regular waffles, instead they feel a lot like the sponge I use to wash my dishes every two weeks or when the roaches start living in my sink.  So maybe you&#8217;ll have to employ the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Takeru_Kobayashi#Training_and_techniques\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Takeru Kobayashi technique<\/a> of dipping them into water so that they&#8217;re easier to eat when you&#8217;re trying to beat my world record of eating four Smuckers Chocolate Chip Snack&#8217;n Waffles in 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Bring it, Joey Chestnut!<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 waffle (2 ounces) &#8211; 220 calories, 8 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat*, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 230 milligrams of sodium, 32 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 15 grams of sugar, 5 grams of protein, 2% vitamin A, 2% calcium and 4% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>*uses fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Smuckers Chocolate Chip Snack&#8217;n Waffles<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $3.00 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 4 pieces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Target<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Quite good.
