Dark Chocolate Waffles – Recipe
Chocolate lovers will appreciate this Dark Chocolate Waffles recipe, since these waffles are not only great for breakfast, but also as a delicious dessert.
The original recipe was posted by Bon Appetit, but since I made few changes, I will post my version for you.
Originally I made these for breakfast, served with warm sauce made from fresh fruit, topped with whipped cream.
However, they were delicious the next day, warmed up and served with a scoop of Mango Ice Cream, drizzled with Caramel sauce.
This recipe yields 8-10 round waffles.
