    • Hug

      From Marpo October 30

      My creative grandsons have put a spoonful of chocolate or vanilla putting in the coffee, with cinnamon ofcourse. They have also used hard candy and white chocolate instead of sugar. My kids come Sunday mornings for waffles, they gave me the waffle maker for Christmas, wonder why? They all experiment with the waffles and coffee. I really need to make a recipe book. We have one we made with other recipes. Need a waffle and coffee one now. They are bring extra stuff this Sunday, Halloween stuff they said. Can hardly wait, I don't trust them in the least,lol.
