Q2. What is the best way of storing leftover Belgian Waffles?
All the Waffles can be cooled fully and then put in an airtight container or zip-lock bag in the refrigerator and stored for up to 3 days. They can be frozen, up to 2 months, and stored longer.
 
Q3. What is the best way to warm up chocolate Belgian Waffles?
Reheating them and having them crispy is done best in a toaster.
 
Q4. Is it possible to skip coffee from the batter?
Absolutely! The coffee is not compulsory, but it will only add color to the chocolate. If you do not want to add it, you can.
