Delicious!!! I did make a few slight changes: I used dark (70% cocoa) chocolate chips and reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup (though I found the chocolate still made it too sweet). I also baked in an 8-inch round pan as I found the chips and cherries to be too sparsely dispersed with the 11.7-inch pan. I also thickened liquid drained from the cherries with some starch and used it as a sauce. I love how this (with my changes) makes a healthy, low in fat & sugar, desert! I think that next time, I will reduce the chocolate and/or double the cherries...
