Waffle Wednesday Revival

We had an informal Waffle Wednesday revival tonight with my friend, JaVan, as our special guest. Sometimes I forget how much I like waffles. Sometimes I just need a hot iron & a dear friend to remind me!
My next waffle adventure will definitely include this recipe:
Chocolate Waffles with Caramel-Banana Topping

• 1 and 1/2 cups Original Bisquick baking mix
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup baking cocoa
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
  
  
• FOR TOPPING:
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup whipping (heavy) cream
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 medium bananas -- sliced

1. Make Creamy Caramel-Banana Topping (below); keep warm. Heat waffle iron; grease if necessary.

2. Stir remaining ingredients until blended. Pour batter for waffle onto center of hot waffle iron. Repeat with remaining batter.

3. Bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Carefully remove waffle. Serve with topping.

Topping:

Mix all ingredients except bananas in 1-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Gently stir in bananas until well coated.
