New York Times best-selling author and baker Rosanna Pansino creates adorable emoji food on her popular YouTube show, Nerdy Nummies. She keeps her ingredient list short and simple, making these an easy and delectable craft to make at home with kids, or for anyone who just wants to relate a little better to their breakfast.
Using printed cut-outs of some her favorite digital expressions, Rosanna traces over the features with melted chocolate on a sheet of wax paper, letting these features cool as the waffles toast. Other ingredients you'll need to transform your waffles are: strawberries, bananas and blueberries.
With these ingredients, Rosanna makes the iconic kissing face, heart-shaped eyes, sunglasses and the tongue-out-winking-face we're still not completely sure how to interpret in emoji speak. You can pick and choose your ingredients and the emojis you make based on the level of flavor and meaning you hope to gain from them.
