Chocolate Waffles

Today I'm celebrating these amazing dads.

Since I won't be able to be with all of them this weekend, the plan is to extend the Father's Day celebrations for at least a month.  A month of honoring dads with celebratory dessert is never a bad thing.🤣 🎂  

Today we're kicking off our month long celebration of dads with a waffle bar.🧇   Yup, I said it.  A WAFFLE BAR!!!  In this house Father's Day means bellying up to a board full of crispy, golden waffles, pitchers of warm syrup, bowls of fresh summer fruit, crunchy granola, dark chocolate chips, cool Greek yogurt and creamy almond butter. 

Yeast waffles might just be my all time favorite breakfast food.  I can't really think of anything more worthy of getting out of my bed for than a warm, crispy waffle dusted with powdered sugar.  Oh wait --- yes, I can.  A warm, crispy CHOCOLATE waffle dusted with powdered sugar.🤣  #chocolatemakeseverythingbetter

The question remains - Why have I never made chocolate yeast waffles before?  I have no answer to that but I am so glad that chocolate yeast waffles are in my life now.  And the extra miles that I'm going to have to add to my morning walk to burn off all the extra waffle calories is totally going to be worth it.  Enjoy!
