Chocolate Waffles

It’s time to pull out those waffle irons that are hanging out in the back of your cabinet gathering dust! I know, we all have that waffle iron that we got thinking we were going to make waffles every weekend… and then we didn’t.  After you try these chocolate waffles, that waffle iron will definitely become a staple in your kitchen because they were so good!

Chocolate waffles are the perfect breakfast recipe.  They are loaded with cocoa powder and chocolate chips so they are filled with chocolate flavor.  The recipe makes about 4 waffles but you can always double or triple it.  I suggest that you keep the waffles in an oven that is set to 250 degrees F for up to 30 minutes before serving to keep them from getting soggy.  Additionally, you can warm them up in a toaster or toaster oven if you are eating one the next day.
