Waffle House created a limited-time Sweet Cream Waffle Mix that could be purchased in its online store, making its a highly sought-after waffle mix available to people at a time when they're looking for comfort food and ways to support their favorite businesses. There are tons of recipes online for copycat Waffle House waffle mix but none of them seem to come close to the original. Fortunately for fans, the Sweet Cream Waffle Mix was made available in packs of three, with individual bags containing enough mix to make up to six regular waffles.
As to be expected, Waffle House quickly sold out of its Waffle Mix, as fans were eager to create the waffles they love at home.
