I made these waffles for breakfast for a sleepover on my 15th birthday. Everyone loved them! They thought I was gonna pull out the box of premade stuff, but nope! I made it from scratch! I topped it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was great. BTW I LOOVE good eats!! It's my favorite show! =)
Too bitter, soggy

I am an experienced chef and have a sensitive palate, so I am certain that my comments are accurate. On it's own, these waffles are extremely bitter. I used metric measurements, so I am confident that the problem is this recipe and not me. If, ONLY IF, one was to drown them in ice cream or loads of sweet whipped cream and sugary topping like strawberry sauce are these waffles even edible, and certainly not palatable. I'm guessing, but I think it is a possibility that the people who rated it well may have done just that, which reduces the bitter taste. I would never use this recipe again.
Dissapointed

The waffles tasted more like cocoa than chocolate. They were not sweet enough. Might be OK with a lot of powdered sugar, syrup, or ice cream, but definitely not very good on their own.
Kids loved them!

Decided to try these for my kid who loves chocolate. They ate them with ice cream and chocolate syrup. Too sweet for me but without that they seemed dry and not sweet enough. Also didn't get crispy on top, even when turning the waffle iron to highest setting...but that's probably the fault of my waffle iron. Will get new iron and try again soon!
Let not Waffle on the Chocolate

After catching Alton's waffle episode, I ran right out and bought waffle iron, and made these chocolate and the traditional waffle recipe. I invited some waffle lovers over for a Sunday breakfast and these waffles were a big hit. The kids ate them with chocolate syrup and whipped cream and sprinkles. I had mine with traditional maple syrup. The chocolate ones were a bit sweet, I'll probably reduce the sugar the next time.
Good for dessert!

I made them this morning for my son and I. They were as good as Alton Said, but I think I would use them for a dessert with, say, ice cream. I will try the traditional recipe next.
Yummmmm

My son came home from college for the 3-day weekend President's Day holiday. Since he loves chocolate, I decided to make this for his breakfast before he goes back to school. I followed the measurements by weight where specified and used well-shaken Grade A culutred lowfat buttermilk and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. With a belgium waflle maker, recipe made perfect ten 4-inch waffle squares. Batter came out thick and chocolate chips did not sink to the bottom. Buttermilk cannot be replaced for regular milk because buttermilk is thick and must be well-shaken before using. This recipe is perfect and will continue to make this for my son whenever he comes home from college.
A bit of a disappointment

The texture of the waffles was not as crispy on the outside as I would have liked. They looked very chocolatey but did not have a lot of chocolate flavor. In fact, they were saltier than they were sweet. I made some whipped cream and put it on top and it helped. Might be OK with a lot of powdered sugar, syrup, or ice cream, but definitely not very good on their own. I have had much better at restaurants...was hoping to be able to replicate that same nice flavor/texture at home.
Mmmmmm Waffles

No more pancake batter waffles for me, Thanks AB for showing me the error of my ways. WOW these were so light and airy. My only change was sour cream in place of the buttermilk just because I didn't have any on hand. Can't wait to try the sweet potato waffles.
Alton, you're a genius!

First of all, I have to say that I got the Villaware Round Wafflemaker as an early Christmas gift, and it's amazing. I made sure I got the same one AB used on his show. The chocolate waffle recipe is simply sublime. I used mini chocolate chips instead of the larger ones, and took care not to overmix. I will admit, however, that I doubled the amount of sugar used in the recipe, to make sure it was sweet enough to counterbalance the depth of the chocolate. The first time I made this recipe, I used 2% milk instead, HUGE mistake. The waffle batter was very, very thin and unusable. So, after purchasing buttermilk, I tried again. I was afraid at first that the "twang" of the buttermilk would be too invasive, but to my surprise it wasn't. I taste almost no buttermilk influence at all. I didn't have one of the dishers AB uses, so I used a measuring cup and probably ended up using about 3/4 c of batter for each waffle. These freeze very well, and will toast up nicely in a standard 4 slot toaster if you cut it in half. Just be sure to watch the heat setting, these will burn quickly. Put a little whipped cream on this, and you have my 10 year old son's favorite waffle. Thank you Alton!
good, but not as sweet as expected

I expected the waffles to be sweeter and was actually disappointed with the taste without syrup--almost like eating cocoa without sugar. Once I added syrup, they were very good. Looking forward to trying them as a dessert with a sweeter topping. The smell that filled the kitchen was wonderful--like hot cocoa on a cold day!
How much sugar?

1.75 ounces is way more than 3 tablespoons!! I made them both ways and I think I will split the difference and add 1.25 ounces next time. 5 stars because they were delicious both ways!!
Small children loved these...

Easy to make, delicious! Only had a cup of buttermilk so used heavy cream and milk to make up the second cup of liquid and they were still awesome. Start a little light on the batter for the first one and adjust to prevent overflow-messy batter to clean your iron if you use too much. The cook gets to eat the first one anyway :-)
Sooooo good!

I made these waffles for breakfast today and we all really enjoyed them. They were easy to make and I actually got 12 8-inch waffles from the quantity of batter! They were chocolate-ty without being overwhelmingly so and are wonderful topped with strawberry or raspberry jam. Thank you, Alton, for sharing this wonderful recipe. Irmgard in Scarborough, Ontario

These waffles are heavenly! I had to turn down the setting to 4 because of sugar content and also I have 2 settings on my waffle maker- crispy exterior, moist interior or uniform texture and the uniform texture makes perfect crispy waffles. My whole family LOVES to watch Good Eats! It is fun and informative! Thanks Alton!
Best Darn Chocolate waffle ever!

We made extra to freeze and none of them survived to the freezer. We would walk past later and grab a piece as a snack. THey were FABULOUS! Crispy outside, fluffy inside. MMMMMMMMM, I think I may make them again this week! WE used mini chocolate chips and they were spread out perfectly that way. What a great treat!
Yummy, Yummy!

I liked these waffles, but I was expecting more of a chocolatey flavor with the color of them and everything, also, All of the chocolate chips fell to the bottom, so only the last few waffles actually did taste as I expected. Next time, I will sprinkle the chips in the batter after I pour it onto the iron.
Yummy!!!!!!!!

These are too good! Nice and moist and freeze well for later on in the week. I serve them with a "toppings bar" so everone can pick out what they want, butter, syrup, whipped cream, walnuts, chocolate chips, strawberries, caramel sauce, etc. This has become a family favorite.

I made this for the first time on a Suzanne Somers waffle maker from HSN. It was to die for! My friends want the recipe to this winner. I used Ghirardelli chocolate chips. I can really pig-out and I could only eat one, very filling. It's a little time consuming so I saved this recipe for the weekend, well worth the time and effort.

I just ate one of these chocolate waffles with espresso ice cream and strawberries, and let me tell you, breakfast doesn't get any better than this. The recipe given in The Waffle Truth calls for 7 oz (~1.5 cups) of AP flour, while the one from "I'm Just Here For More Food" (pg 109) calls for 9.5 oz (~2 cups), with everything else the same. Well, the 1.5 cup version (sorry AB, I'll buy a digital scale when I find a job!) makes the batter slightly too thin, and 2 cups is slightly too thick, so next time I will try 1.75 cups. Also, in the book, sugar is considered a wet ingredient, but on this show it was added to the dry goods. AB, I'm confused!
Fabulous!

I make these once a week for my 8 year old daughter and she absolutely loves them - she even counts down the days until it's "Chocolate Waffle Day." I've made them for other people as well and all agree that they're excellent. I find it's best to use a high quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips (my favoite is Ghirardelli because it's good and easy to find) - the cheap stuff just tastes nasty and if you're going to spend the time to make it, you should do it right. The chocolate chips tend to sink to the bottom of the batter so make sure you stir it every time before you add more batter to your waffle iron. For an extra chocolate kick, sprinkle a few on top of the batter before you close the lid. Also, a good waffle iron will make all the difference. Don't waste money on a bargain quality model that will fail in 2 years. Spend the extra bucks and get the upgrade.
Very nice, could be a bit sweeter

Very nice waffle recipe, great with whip cream. I prefer adding a bit extra sugar to the batter to balance the cocoa, but it's personal preference.
