In a large mixing bowl, prepare the pancake mix according to instructions (you can even use your own recipe!)
Pour
Remove 10-15 maraschino cherries from the jar and slice each one into fourth. Add them into the batter
Pour 2 Tbs of maraschino cherry juice into batter
Pour in a few drops of red food coloring and stir until batter is desired color
Pour a small amount of pancake batter onto a greased skillet on a heated stove (medium heat) and cook each pancake on one side until you see small bubbles form in the batter
Flip the pancake over and cook on other side for a few seconds until done
In a small sauce pan, bring 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream to a boil
Remove from heat and stir in a handful or two of the semi-sweet chocolate morsels and stir until slightly thick
Pour over cherry pancakes while still warm
Serve with additional maraschino cherries if desired
Enjoy!
