Snowman Character Waffle Makers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Walmart's Olaf Waffle Maker Will Get Your Kids Through Winter

— February 17, 2019 — Art & Design
While it may have been nearly six years since Disney's 'Frozen' made its debut, it's clear that the movie is just as popular as ever as evidenced by Walmart's new Olaf Waffle Maker.

The Olaf Waffle Maker is a Frozen-themed waffle maker that creates edible Olaf-shaped breakfast treats. The inside of the waffle maker features a nonstick interior and five molding shapes. To create the cartoon character waffles, consumers simply have to pour in the batter, press down, and wait until the batter is firm and crispy. Once finished, simply assemble the pieces to create your very own seven-inch waffle Olaf. You can also add some powdered sugar for a full snowman effect.
