Originally from: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/24141/chocolate-waffles-i/?internalSource=amp&referringContentType=amp%20recipe&clickId=amp_directions

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup milk
2 eggs
4 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon milk

Directions:

Preheat waffle iron. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cocoa. Stir in milk, eggs and butter until mixture is smooth.

To make the sauce: stir together softened butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Sauce should be fairly stiff.

Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot with hard sauce.

Hot Mama Grade: B

Hot Mama Notes: These waffles are very heavy and a bit dry. The taste is okay.  Instead of making the sauce, we used maple syrup. I used self rising flour which includes 1.5t baking powder per cup of flour, so I only used an additional 0.25t of baking powder. I think I will look for a more moist and light recipe.
