I think I'll try those.....they look good.

I found this syrup that is Roasted Pecan and it's delicious, with pecans in the syrup. Found it originally at Tuesday Morning, but have since seen it at Ross's, Marshall's and Big Lots. Also comes in Blueberry, Raspberry, Toasted Walnut, and some other flavors. The blueberry is also wonderful, haven't tried the others.

We have a restaurant that we have hung out at for years, and they have chocolate waffle dessert. Bet the recipe that Chris used would work....maybe add a tsp of vanilla, a couple tsp. of Hershey cocoa, maybe a bit extra sugar.

Make the waffle, then put vanilla and chocolate ice cream on it, hot fudge syrup, whipped cream and pecans.

It's a dessert to share.  :drool:

I was out of granulated sugar, so I used confectioners sugar instead.  It was very sugary.

Shouldn't have made that much difference. There wasn't that much in the batter to begin with.... :confused:
Was the syrup more sugary than what you are used to, because it was maple syrup rather than a corn syrup base?

What else would you use to get the wrinkles out of a waffle?

I felt silly buying it, but it was less than $20 and I like my waffles.  It's a cheap Chinese piece of shit (what other kind are there?) but it works.  The hinge has already fallen apart on it, though.

LOL! at Lug.

Chris - go to the thrift store and get you an old school boat anchor style metal waffle iron from the 70's. That's what I did and it works like a charm. I found one that's old but in great condition. Clearly the person who owned rarely if ever used it so it wasn't nasty.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Don't feel silly....at least you have pots and pans..

My son didn't have pots and pans....yet he decided on night he wanted waffles. He went to Walmart to get a waffle iron at like 2am! He did buy some pots and pans while he was there, he said. I figure he had a girl with him, that made him buy some.  :thatsright:

I love my waffle iron .... I'm going to have to try that recipe Chris.  The toasted walnut sounds good too Deb.  Shoot, now I'm hungry.  Hey, toss chocolate chips into the batter .... nummy nummy nummy  and you can spoon in some malted milk mix too.  sigh
