• Co-owner Jackie Bea Howard makes the waffle dough Liege-style, with yeast and pearl sugar, and a hefty dose of buttermilk. The result: a thick and chewy waffle with crispy, caramelized edges. Gluten-free options are also available.

• B. Happy’s So Happy Together snicker-doodle peanut butter, injected with vanilla, cinnamon, and heavy whipping cream.

• As a kid, Howard ate grilled peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches that her mom topped with bananas. “That’s Saturday morning for me,” she says.

• Heartland Family Farm in Spencer supplies strawberries for the syrup, which also flavors Bea’s Strawberry-Creme Soda.

• Dark-chocolate sauce drizzled over snicker-doodle popcorn from Inga’s in Zionsville.
