Merienda Bliss: Belgian Stroopwafels

My cousin came back from Europe the other week and brought Belgian "stroopwafels," a family fan favorite. It's a soft baked biscuit interlaced with a sweet caramel filling, sometimes called as a syrup waffle or a treacle waffle. This particular brand I've found to be the best. Gouda's Gilde, I love you.
Best eaten on top of a cup of coffee, with the savory steam softening the stroopwafel. In this picture, I pretended I only wanted half a waffle. Of course, this quickly failed as I ate the other half promptly after.

Delicious.
