These quick and easy chocolate waffles take just minutes to fix, and they make a fabulous breakfast or dessert with caramel sauce (pictured) or hot fudge sauce. They would be great with ice cream as well. For an extra-special touch, top them off with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry!
Chocolate waffles would make a nice holiday or birthday breakfast. The kids will love them!
Make two or three batches and freeze extras—reheat them in the toaster or skillet.
