Pumpkin Pie Waffles

So if you all aren't aware of my love for waffles see here and here.  These ones take the cake though, they are sooo good.  To be honest with you, I am not a pumpkin pie fan, I do like other pumpkin flavored treats, but not pie, so I was skeptical of these waffles, but these are fabulous!  The first time I made them, I think I may have eaten eight four, they were that good!  All my kids love them as well. I would like to tell you that they are good for you, which they are, but I don't want to ruin them for you, because they don't taste "good for you" at all.  They are heavenly!  We have a tradition at my house of eating these on Halloween before we head out trick or treating, but I usually make them Thanksgiving morning as well and several other times through out the year.
