German Chocolate Waffle Brownies

You can't get more delicious than this. If you ever have a bad day, this is the treat for you. The base is a waffle brownie, you guessed it, made on a waffle iron. The middle is my mom's yummiest coconut pecan frosting. And then to top it off, just a little dollop of easy chocolate ganache.

Now don't be scared away quite yet, because this tasty morsel is quite simple to put together. Let's be real here, I hardly ever try anything too challenging. So take my word for it. 

Let me know if you try it, because I'm coming over if you do. It's QUITE delicious. Enjoy!
