Banana Belgian w/ Toasted Almonds & Honey Maple Cinnamon Chocolate Sauce

My son Levi requested last night that we have Belgian Waffles for Sunday brunch. And this morning suggested banana slices to top-  That's when I fantasized the sauce w/ whipped cream and toasted almonds... Breakfast was on!!  I use the Krusteaz waffle mix but let 'em bake a little long in the iron for a crispy outside.  Toasted sliced almonds @ 375, just make sure you don't forget and bitterburn the nuts. And for the sauce?  I used about 2/3 maple syrup to 1/3 honey and added a little butter, brown sugar, and a good shake of cinnamon.  30 seconds in the microwave and stirred in  a few semi-sweet chocolate chips.  This sauce was superdupe!!  Warm and rich with a little spice and just enough chocolate flavor but not taking over...  A couple of fried eggs over easy and some sizzled smoked sausage?
  Like I told my Mom "Holy Canolies!"  I'm full 'til dinner tonite-
