There's something very special about serving a heart shaped waffle for breakfast. It's a great way to show someone you love them. Or it's just a fun treat!
Heart shaped waffles are found all over Scandinavia, but are not as commonly found in the US. But don't worry. It's easy to make your own heart shaped waffles.
I've put together a list of the 5 best heart shaped waffle makers that you can find on Amazon. If you need something in a hurry for Valentine's Day, I really hope this list helps you out!
Scandinavian heart waffles are thin waffles. In Sweden, they are crips. In Norway, they are softer.
I've noted which of the heart waffle makers below make Scandinavian style thin waffles, and which make heart shaped thicker classic American waffles.
Happy heart shape waffle making!

Chef's Choice WafflePro Traditional Heart Waffle Maker
This Chef's Choice Traditional Heart Waffle Maker has a couple of unique settings that set it apart from the other waffle makers on the list.
To help you achieve the perfect waffle depending on your preference and the type of batter you are using, it's quad baking system allows you to select the idea flavor, texture and color of your waffles.
There's a dial for color control, and a separate flip to control the texture of the waffle. The "fast bake" option will give you a crispier waffle with a soft inside, while the "deep bake" option will give you more uniform texture.
If you are after a Norwegian waffle maker, this will give you thin Scandinavian style waffles.
Features that I love in this Chef's Choice Heart Waffle Maker are:
- the two separate dials to control for color and texture
- the easy clean overflow channel
- that it stands upright for easy storage
- built in cord storage compartment
There are over 300 reviews on Amazon, many touting it's ability to cook waffles quickly and consistently.
