Chocolate Waffles

Chocolate Waffles


These chocolate waffles are the perfect indulgent breakfast. They are rich and delicious and full of chocolate flavor.  We love waffles around here, but I’d never tried chocolate waffles before. I was brainstorming ideas for fun Valentine’s Day food and couldn’t get the idea of chocolate waffles out of my head. I ended up making these last weekend and told Mike we were celebrating Valentine’s Day a week early. 🙂 ( I’m pretty sure it’s a side effect of being a food blogger that you eat holiday food weeks early in order to have recipes ready to share on the blog!)  We both loved these chocolate waffles, and the recipe made enough that we can re-heat them for another fun breakfast and enjoy them all over again.  And definitely don’t skimp on the whipped cream and strawberries – they make the perfect topping. Enjoy!
