[Editor’s Note:] As a child one of my favorite things to have for break­fast was waf­fles. Unfor­tu­nately, we didn’t own a waf­fle iron so I almost never got to have them. Ariesna and I have had a waf­fle iron for a while now but our attempts at mak­ing waf­fles have been… less than entirely suc­cess­ful. We had been buy­ing those box mixes at the store but the waf­fles made from them always sat like lead in our stom­achs. Yes­ter­day, we were talk­ing about try­ing to make waf­fles again. Since I’ve had such good luck with AllRecipes.com; I went to their site to search for waf­fle recipes and found bunches of them. I copied sev­eral into an email and for­warded them to Ariesna. This morn­ing she went through them and decided to make these Choco­late Brunch Waf­fles. They turned out scrump­tious. Though I do have a cou­ple of caveats about this recipe.

  • Be very care­ful not to over­cook them or they come out crunchy.
  • The recipe makes a great many of the waf­fles. Come hun­gry or have some­thing you can freeze them in.
  • While very tasty, these waf­fles are still have some­thing of a bread-like tex­ture and aren’t as light/fluffy as the ideal waf­fle should be.
