"Admittedly, this isn't something you'd serve often, but if you or a loved one is a chocoholic, this would be a make a decadent breakfast. Perfect for a "valentines day" breakfast in bed! Found this in an issue of "Redbook" lying around at work."

These were amazing! I used a gluten free flour mixture and they still turned out wonderfully. We did have to add a LOT more milk to thin it out, and they were still the thickest pancake I've ever eaten. This meant they took a while to cook, but so worth the wait. These will become our new tradition for Easter morning. Thanks!

My family really enjoyed these. I too reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup. I used milk chocolate chips and served these with syrup and fresh strawberries. I used a lower temperature to cook them so they would not burn. I think whipped cream as a topping would be wonderful. These even taste good cold. They were a real treat. Thanks for the recipe.
