I love this picture of my sisters and me at Easter – 1969 in Medford, Oregon!

My parents gave us cowgirl hats filled with green grass and jelly beans. If we were lucky growing up, we’d get 1 piece of chocolate, which we savored!

Today, I enjoy chocolate almost every day. It’s a staple in our home, and a great snack when you need “just a bite.”

Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
