Our friend Adam is getting ready to go on a mission for our church to California so we had a big waffle party with all the gang to send him off.  I made the three waffles pictured above – Cinnamon Roll Waffles (click here for recipe), Waffle Love Waffles (click here for recipe) and Brownie Waffles a la Mode, see below for recipe.  It was a great party!

1/4 cup butter

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup cocoa

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup half and half or light cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

1  In a small saucepan, cook and stir butter and chocolate over low until melted and smooth.  Let cool.

2  Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Make a well in center.

3  In another bowl, combine eggs, sugar, half and half, vanilla and melted chocolate and stir until well combined.  Add liquid mixture to flour mixture and stir just until moistened.

4  Preheat 7 1/2″ round waffle maker, spray with cooking spray.  Scoop 1/2 cup of batter into waffle maker.  Bake until waffles are cooked through and then remove to cooling rack.

5  Separate waffles into quarters and serve with ice cream and toppings.
