Something about these petit pancakes has my kids captivated, and it's probably because they're so cute and bite-sized. They remind me a bit of Dutch poffertjes or American silver dollar pancakes in size, and they're a great option for a quick snack. The cream and apple flavored syrup that they come with is a delicious alternative to typical pancake toppings like maple syrup, with a lighter and fresher feel. You get several pancakes in each box, so it's not bad in terms of value for money when compared to other items on the McDonalds menu.

I don't think these are bad value for money when you compare them to other items at McDonalds stores, but I do think they're super easy to replicate at home at a fraction of the cost with some store-bought pancake mix or just literally mixing together your favorite DIY pancake recipe. Obviously all you'll be missing is the cream and apple syrup squeezy pack, but if you find a dupe for that you'd be golden. For the sake of convenience though, these are a fun little treat for my kids every now and then.
