Eating these for breakfast will spoil your appetite. Permanently.
The last time I made these waffles, I didn't have enough self control to snap a photo. If you want a hot crisp waffle, there is simply no time for photography. I planned to make them again for a late brunch this morning. But I forgot that it was Fast Sunday, the once monthly appointed day for abstaining from two meals and donating the saved money for needs in the community. It is very easy to fast when you planned to have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. It is very, very hard to fast when you planned to eat chocolate waffles. Plus, what about my responsibilities to my readers? Didn't I promise a full report, recipe, and pictures? I had two out of three, so I resorted to borrowing a photo off the Internet. Thank you, Colorado State Fair, for your lovely, artistic, and tempting photos. 
I'm packing up this morning for a quick trip up to Provo, Utah to visit my little sister and her rosy, fat babies. You won't even know I'm gone, since I'll post from there. I have to post, since I have news that involves West, a jar of peanut butter, and national TV.
