Chocolate for breakfast? Oh yeah! Ordinary French toast gets kicked up a notch with this sweet, but not overly-sweet chocolate French toast recipe. For the best results, use slightly-stale challah or Italian bread for this recipe. It soaks up the custard better than a soft, fresh bread. Serve this French toast with sliced strawberries or raspberries and powdered sugar.
