Chocolate Waffles with Raspberry Syrup

This morning I had ample time to prepare breakfast. Usually I just whip up some eggs or something simple, but when I have extra time I like to have fun and get creative with breakfast. This morning I tried a chocolate waffle recipe. I know, chocolate for breakfast? But for all those chocolate lovers out there, these are simply to die for. To top it off I made a raspberry syrup to add some goodness to the meal which was the perfect touch to the sweet waffles. I found this recipe through the Betty Crocker e-mails I subscribe to. The original recipe suggests a boozy mixed berry syrup, but my husband and I don't drink, so we didn't have booze on hand, or the fresh berries, so I made do.
