I enjoy making pancake recipes. My recipes tend to be more dessert-like. I mean, who's kidding who? Pancakes aren't part of a healthy breakfast, are they? Come on! We all know they are dessert. 😉

Last week I made a terrific batch of Chocolate Coconut Pancakes. They were so good, that that is all I ate for the next four meals! Alas, I didn't write that recipe down. I did think, though, if I added Maraschino cherries to the batch, they would taste like coconut bonbons. My goal was to make pancakes that would taste as good as the bonbons, my mom’s friend, Joan makes; the famous Martha Washington Bonbons.

In my batter I included: mini chocolate chips, coconut and Maraschino cherries! The batter looks so festive.

But the pancakes taste even better! So, to show my thanks to a family friend, for sharing her bon bon recipe, and because it isn't right to have candy for breakfast. I bring to you:
