Chocolate Belgian Waffles
Today's recipe is a quickie. Chocolate Belgian waffles have become a Sunday morning tradition in our house. My boys know that Sunday morning will mean washing up to these special waffles for breakfast. These waffles are sweet and my bits rest them by themselves with no toppings, but I do use this recipe as well for a dessert, but I "fancy" it up with a fruit topping...usually raspberries to balance the sweetness and refine the taste to a more sophisticated one. Enjoy!
