Maybe an extra egg?

[@AbbieBrisha]

I love the recipe ideas you share with us. Chestnuts are not readily available here but seeing you said Almonds could work instead, I will give it a try with almonds. Maybe with some pecans mixed in for a more interesting flavour. Or Hazelnuts… 😊

[@CounterCooking]

waffles made with almond flour are delicious.

I totally get how you feel that coffee is not a fruit spread, I felt that way too BUT the coffee "bean" is actually a berry as I understand it now. Still, a waste of a good space in your calendar box. This series was a great idea, fun to watch!

[@CounterCooking]

yes, technically coffee comes from a fruit, but I’m not a coffee fan and even little amounts of caffeine can keep me awake the entire night. thanks for watching!

[@Traderjoe]

You have so many interesting ideas on what to cook with like this. It’s really amazing! ❤

[@CounterCooking]

thanks! and thanks for watching!

They've always included a non-fruit spread in the calendar. It used to be honey, and I think one year they had a chestnut thing and one year was chocolate? Or maybe it was a chocolate chestnut thing. I don't remember off-hand. I don't think any more of the calendar will be non-fruit, though. Those waffles looked awesome. I'd love to know where to buy the chestnuts, I've never seen them in the store before.

[@CounterCooking]

Yeah, I love when the have the little jar of honey. That is always my sweetener of choice. I wish they included that every year but each year a different flavor of honey. Two years ago I had an advent calendar that was 25 different types of honey. It was so good! I get the chestnuts at my local supermarkets. They are also sold in health food stores.

@@CounterCooking Just as an off chance I did a search for roasted chestnuts on my local grocery store's website and came up with the same brand you were using. I'm so glad I saw this video! I'm gonna have to get some now. :)

[@Ebba-June]

Now that was really cool! I could actually eat those waffles. I don't eat grain flours and I've never heard of roasted chestnuts in a bag. I'm going to have to see if I can find them here. Thank you. Oh! My mini things should be here before the beginning of next year. I am so-o- looking forward to trying some of your recipes. ♥

[@CounterCooking]

I spent quite a few years not eating grains so I’ve learned to be creative with other ingredients and different nut flours. I normally eat the chestnuts right out of the bag as a snack. they’re really good.

[@Catherine-259-s5u]

Yum! I absolutely love roasted chestnuts! Your waffles look amazing!

[@CounterCooking]

I love roasted chestnuts also

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Yum

I’m so pleased that you’re doing this! I have the 12 days of Christmas Bonne Maman advent calendar and I’m not proud to admit that I peeked at the back of the box…this spread is in mine. I HATE coffee and anything to do with it, so I was kind of stumped. My husband is a coffee lover so I’ll fob it off on him. Not sure I’m ambitious enough to make these, maybe he’ll get buckwheat waffles!❤

[@CounterCooking]

maybe you’ll like it because it doesn’t really taste much like coffee. Buckwheat waffles would be a good pairing for it.

[@IceLynne]

I've never had chestnuts! I wonder if I could do the same thing with Almonds? Or another nut? I got one of the Bonne Maman calendars and it was so hard to get the jars out that I ended up just ripping the darn thing open and taking out all the jars 😆 I haven't tried the Caramel Coffee spread because I don't like the flavor of coffee but maybe I should just to see what it's like.

[@CounterCooking]

I've made waffles and pancakes with almond flour and they come out great. You should give the caramel coffee spread a try because you might like it.

[@Traderjoe]

Also, for $40 or so for this calendar you would think that they’d make it so it doesn’t fragment apart like this. I can tell you aren’t ripping the thing apart roughly or anything. They should design it better in case you wanted to keep it as a keepsake

[@CounterCooking]

I don’t mind it ripping apart because the little jars have been really easy to remove this year. Usually it’s more difficult to get the jars out.

[@judygriffing1276]

The spread sounded amazing until you said it tasted like licorice. The waffles look amazing! Tfs. 👋🏼

[@CounterCooking]

I would’ve been much happier if it was a caramel chocolate spread. 😁

[@mscatnipper2359]

I would have never thought of that chestnut waffle idea. I'm looking forward to trying it. Today's spread doesn't interest me, though.

[@CounterCooking]

sometimes what you put the spread on makes all the difference. 😁

[@brendastenger]

I don’t mean to be critical, I love your channel, I am a widow in my late seventies and love my Dash appliances and your single serve recipes. But, I am half french Canadian. Bonne, which is the feminine version, is pronounced “bun”. Your pronunciation “bone” ( bon) is the masculine. Just saying…

[@CounterCooking]

I don't pronounce it like a French Canadian. I pronounce it with my New York Accent. Just saying...
