The best Belgian and French chocolate, plus dozens of dried Michigan cherries, baked into a dense, delicious loaf. If you give it a few minutes in the oven the chocolate chunks will begin melting. The aroma of cocoa will fill the air. You'll take the loaf out, add a hint of sweet butter, or, feeling generous, set a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

At this point the sun will break through the clouds and angels will start to sing. Hold onto your heart. This is heady stuff.

"The Zingerman's Bakehouse makes a chocolate cherry bread that can be used as the base of the best French toast you've ever had in your life."
