Chocolate Malt-O-Meal Brownies

I f you’ve ever purchased a box of Chocolate Malt-O-Meal, chances are you’ve come across the Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownie recipe printed on the box.

But this time, armed with a substitution, I decided to give it another shot.

If you noticed in the caption, it says that the nut waffles are special for supper. I have many times made waffles or pancakes for dinner. In the times I was a single parent, it was easy to make pancakes or waffles for dinner because it was quick dinner after a long day at work. You might notice in the photo the recipe for sweet milk waffl...
