Servings: persons

1 (6 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups chocolate milk (can make your own with preferred amount of chocolate)
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
6 cups cubed French bread (the size of dice)
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel (6 oz)
Garnish
sweetened whipped cream
Garnish
maraschino cherry

1
Drain the jar of cherries but reserve 1 TB of the cherry juice. Chop the cherries coarsely. The first time I made this I used a food processor and got them too fine. More chunky is definately better.
2
In a large bowl, combine 1 TB of cherry juice, eggs and next 4 ingredients and stir will.
3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4
Add the bread cubes and let stand for 15 minutes on the counter, stirring occasionally. After 15 minutes, stir in the chocolate chips and cherries.
5
Spoon this mixture into a greased 9 inch square pan (I used a bread pan with good results) and bake, uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until set.
6
Garnish, if you want to, with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
7
Cook time includes 15 minutes soaking time for french bread cubes.
