Timesaving Tips to make this perfect every time

• I recommend making the taco shells ahead of time (as in the day before) for ease of preparation when ready to serve.
• Make sure when you cook your waffle taco shells, that they are firm not soft.
• If you don’t have a waffle maker, you can use a crepe pan or small skillet.
• Candy melts work better than using chocolate chips.
