Making a special breakfast on Valentine’s Day is a simple way to tell someone you love them. It’s a kind and genuine act of service. If you are looking for something different and something that will really knock their socks off tomorrow morning, give these Red Velvet Waffles a try.
The waffles are thick and dense and loaded with chocolate chips. Feel like you’re eating dessert for breakfast. A great way to start the day!
I made a sweet cream cheese maple syrup to drizzle over the top and of course, loaded on the whipping cream, and topped with more chocolate chips.
Too rich for breakfast? These would also be a great V-day dessert.
