I finally got around to using my Christmas present, a waffle maker! I have never had one and usually just make pancakes. Well, let me just say that I am totally hooked on waffles.
I love the fact that it came with a recipe section for making different style waffles. This I must say is something that surprised me as I had never seen or had any variety other than the normal kind.
For the first batch I made the regular-style waffle and doubled the recipe. I like to make extra breakfast items to freeze for my husband. This makes it easy for him to have whatever he feels like in the morning. Of course, I always have a nice variety of choices for him.
For the first time using the machine, I was pleased with the results. Since it was going so well I made up another batch to fill up the tray to freeze.
Chocolate Waffles
Maybe I was having too much fun because I could not help myself, and I had to try making the Chocolate Waffle recipe too.
Now that I had a substantial amount of waffles cooling on the rack, it was time to give those chocolate waffles a try.
I knew that I wanted to try something special on them other than maple syrup. I had made some raspberry syrup in the fall and that seemed like the perfect combination to me. Plus, I have plenty of frozen berries that need to be used as well.

Now, I must admit that the whipped cream on top of the waffle and a nice drizzle of raspberry syrup was the ticket.

They were delicious to my amazement. Who knew that chocolate and waffles could be such a delightful combination. Apparently, my husband agrees because he has requested that I make many more of the chocolate ones in the future, I think I may have captured his sweet tooth. ;-)
If you are inclined to try the chocolate waffles for yourself, here is a link to my "Raspberry Syrup Recipe".
