Today, I made Black Forest Waffles. If you are a fan of Black Forest Cake, you are going to like these waffles. They get their rich chocolate flavor from the cocoa powder and semi sweet chocolate chips. The dried cherries add a nice sweet tart flavor to the waffles. Before serving, I garnish the waffles with confectioner's sugar, maple syrup and whipped cream.
