Photo: Chocolate Waffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup, plus more for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
- Confectioners' sugar and/or berries, for topping (optional)
Directions
Melt the butter and shortening in a small saucepan, stirring to combine; remove from the heat and set aside. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
Whisk the eggs, milk, chocolate syrup and vanilla in a large liquid measuring cup or a separate bowl. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until combined. (The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Whisk in the butter mixture until combined.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Preheat a waffle iron and spray with cooking spray. Ladle some of the batter into the waffle iron to within an inch of the edge (1/3 to 1/2 cup batter, depending on your waffle iron); cook until crisp. Transfer the waffle to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Divide the waffles among plates. Dust with confectioners'sugar and top with berries and/or chocolate syrup.

This is very good!! The toppings we chose from were shredded coconut (yum!, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. We didn't have any raspberries, but I'll definitely use them next time. My only complaint would be that they were a little crispy, but I think that's my own fault. Definitely a keeper!

A very delicious recipe if you love chocolate! Super moist with tons of flavor. The raspberries cut the sweetness of the waffles and is a nice addition. You don't need very much of the chocolate sauce syrup though. I could see how adding to much would be overwhelming! Bananas or strawberries would be tastey on this as well!

In years gone by, this was a special after movie late night snack, only we had chocolate ice cream on top and hot fudge over it all and maybe sliced bananas or Strawberries. Remember!
