I often serve waffles for breakfast or dessert, because they’re easy to make and delicious. These Chocolate Waffles are more filling and in a way, feel like having a cake for breakfast. We spend our weekends together as a family, so for us, these waffles made a good start to our day together.

The Chocolate Waffles have a rich chocolate flavor, feel light and skin a nice crust on the outside. You can easily pair them with any fresh fruits or jam.

These waffles freeze well in a ziplock bag, making it an easy breakfast or a snack for another day. BTW, they taste surprisingly good out of a freezer, refreshing for those hot summer days.
