Word is out that you can make waffles with a cake mix so I had to see for myself, and yes, it really works! But more importantly, they're completely delicious! And breakfast couldn't get any easier, or dessert for that matter. Four ingredients and just a few minutes of prep is all it takes for these decadent waffles, that taste just like cake of course!

Chocolate Cake Mix Waffles

Could there be a more perfect Valentine's Day breakfast to make for your loved one? Kids would go crazy for these too! I served them here with Nutella sauce, which is also unbelievably easy to make. All you need to do is whisk a few tbsp of milk with Nutella (you can also warm it if you'd prefer a warm sauce).

Wait... people are eating these chocolate waffles for dessert? Ok, I guess. But why wouldn't you start your day with dessert waffles if you could?

I keep wondering if their company will ever come out with a Nutella sauce (perfect for ice cream, cakes, pancakes, and waffles and just to squeeze directly in your mouth) but until then I just go this easy route. You could also use chocolate ganache if you'd like for these.

And fresh strawberries I think are a must, we all know and love the way they pair with chocolate so here it's a match that's meant to be.

You can also use other cake mix flavors. I'm excited to try out more, but chocolate always comes first, right?

It really doesn't get much better, so when I can create something that tastes exactly like cheesecake without having to bake it then chill it for eight hours then I'm pretty ecstatic.

Don't get me wrong, I adore baked cheesecakes, but sometimes I don't have the time nor patience that they take. That is where these come in. Cheesecake mousse!

They contains no eggs (like many mousse recipes do) so it doesn't require any cooking on the stove top either.

It's just simple, irresistibly silky smooth and luscious, and amazingly fluffy mousse, at it's finest. Then you add Nutella into the mix (literally :) and people what are you waiting for?

These are calling your name! Simply put, these are what dreams are made of.

Cheesecake and Nutella combined into one easy to make dessert that will leave you begging for more. Enjoy!

Basically, when you mix Nutella into anything great things happen. Nutella is probably one of my favorite foods (I wish I could sit down an eat a jar of it by the spoonful, as if it were ice cream) so I had to find a way to add it to my doughnuts.

Nutella Stuffed Double Chocolate Cookies

I'm starting to believe there's not really anything or anyone more photogenic than chocolate sauce or melted chocolate when it's given just the right amount of daylight. I'm in love with the way it reflects light. It's mesmerizing.

I've been waking up lately and saying to myself I really want to make something with melted chocolate not only so I can eat it but so I can take pictures of it. I sound like I need a life or something :) but melty, drippy, and inevitably messy chocolate (or dollops of Nutella) is amazing I tell you! As are these cookies.

Nutella Cheesecake Fruit Dip

What do you make for a party when you don't have a lot of time for baking but you want to make something amazing? A dip of course! It is not just any dip; these four ingredients are Nutella Cheesecake Dip.

I was considering making a chocolate dip but I had a jar of Nutella sitting there and I decided why not make a Nutella dip instead, then you still get the chocolate taste you're craving plus an upgrade from that incredible hazelnut flavor. I also love cheesecake so it had to be. (No oven required.)

Once you make this you're going to start dreaming about this stuff it's so good. Look at the four ingredients in this treat and tell me how it could not be good. Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread), cream, sugar, cream cheese. It's a given.

If you want even more chocolate flavor, you can stir in a dash of cocoa powder and some vanilla extract.

I like to use a food processor or blender to get this dip texture extra smooth—it's worth cleaning the extra dish, I promise! A hand mixer works well, but a high speed blender like a Vitamix can make this a 30 second recipe.

This is amazing on strawberries or with graham crackers (original or chocolate). All types of fruit would be delicious with this dip. Experiment with other types of cookies and crackers, too. I've even seen people dip potato chips into sweet spreads like this one! I think I'd like to add a spoonful of this to a bowl of ice cream with some nuts and chocolate sauce. It's also amazing by the spoonful. Just pretend it's a mousse. I won't judge you if you want to spoon it into a cup and indulge in it that way instead. You can even add a sprinkle of seasonal sugars and sprinkles. Enjoy!
