Nutella Waffles

Chris is an eggs and bacon kind of guy and rarely wants something sweet in the morning. So when I asked him what he wanted for breakfast the other weekend and he said chocolate waffles, I jumped at the opportunity! I broke out the Nutella and instantly went to work before he could change his mind. Did you really think I would use something else? These are perfectly sweet from the hazelnut-chocolate spread, yet still light and airy. Enjoy!
