This breakfast is all that and a bag of chips. Or in this case – all that and a chocolate covered strawberry. I’m such a waffle freak that I would happily eat them every single day if I could. I say “could” because I do not need to be eating waffles topped with deliciousness like this every day.

You know?

However, if it were say Valentine’s Day these waffles might be perfect. And since that little romantic bundle of joy holiday is coming up I think you should plan to add these to the menu. If you surprised your loved one with these waffles in bed they would love you FOREVER! Oh and don’t worry I kept the waffle just lightly sweetened by adding just a touch of Truvia Brown Sugar Blend. It gives you all that flavor of brown sugar but with 75% fewer calories.

To be honest we never eat in bed. My husband is a freak about crumbs and will not allow any eating in the bedroom. Not that I’m in a big habit of eating while I’m in bed BUT I do think the whole “breakfast in bed” thing is sorta sweet. Although I guess now that I think about it the whole crumbs thing would sorta bother me. I think if we did have breakfast in bed I would probably have to strip the bed afterwords for fear of finding a crumb in the bed at bedtime.

Ok I seriously have spent WAY too much time analyzing if crumbs would end up in my bed and how much it would bother me.

Sorry guys. I’m in a weird mood today.

Back to waffles – these babies are packed full of sweet diced strawberries, vanilla bean paste, bittersweet chocolate chips and come out super fluffy and totally delicious. For the topping I cut up a bunch of strawberries and then drizzled the whole stack with MORE melted chocolate. It’s sweet, delicious and totally perfect in every single way.
