Make this Chocolate Stuffed French Toast instead. It’s amazing and super easy and a great Mother’s Day treat. And trust us, don’t skip the cherry sauce.

2. Cut a pocket into each bread slice. So much easier than trying to sandwich 2 pieces together.
3. Use chocolate bars. No piping bags needed. 
4. Heat frozen fruit to pour over. Easy to make any time of year. Try it with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, etc.
