Red Velvet Waffles

Red velvet is traditionally chocolatey and we took that history to heart. These waffles have both bittersweet chocolate chips and dark cocoa to make sure the chocolate really shines through. There aren't a lot of ways to replace the red food coloring, but you can leave it out if the red color is not important to you.
