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.

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.

You might notice in the photo the recipe for sweet milk waffl...
