This is a recipe which I received in my e-mail and can't remember who I received it from. I copied it so fast that I forgot to copy the name. This is one recipe which I will definitely try, as I love anything that has chocolate.

1 loaf day old French bread
1 cup milk chocolate chips
5 beaten eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Your favorite syrup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with vegetable shortening.

Cut French bread into 6 slices, 1 1/2 inches thick. Using a small sharp knife, cut 2-inch long slits in one side of each slice, cutting 3/4 of the way through the bread to create a pocket.

Spoon 2 to 3 good size tablespoons of chips into each pocket and press to close.

Place the filled slices into the prepared baking pan.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract, mixing well. Pour over the bread slices and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve the French toast slices with your favorite syrup.

This would taste great with strawberry or raspberry syrup along with some fresh strawberries or raspberries and some whipped cream. Yummy! I have to make this one just for myself.

Chocolate French Toast

2 eggs
1/2 cup chocolate-flavored milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 slices bread
Sifted confectioners' sugar
Canned cherry pie filling or strawberry syrup or raspberry syrup

Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl. Beat with an egg beater or fork until the yolks and whites are mixed. Add the chocolate-flavored milk. Beat until well mixed. Pour the egg mixture into a pie plate. Put half of the butter into a skillet. Heat to medium-high.

Dip one slice of the bread into the egg mixture. Turn the bread over to coat the other side. Put the coated bread in the skillet. Repeat with another slice of bread. Cook until the bottoms are brown. Turn the bread over. Cook until the other side is brown. Remove the bread from the skillet. Put the remaining butter into the skillet. Repeat with the remaining bread and egg mixture.

Sprinkle French toast with confectioners' sugar and top with cherry pie filling or syrup.
