Chocolate Waffles

Mmm! I suppose you could serve these for a very fancy breakfast, but really, they are for dessert. Serve them with fresh fruit and whipped cream, or with ice cream, or custard. You can make them without beating the egg whites separately, which will make them quicker and easier to make, but also less light and fluffy.
