Key Ingredients for the American Flag Chocolate Berry Toast

Bread: the base for this delicious and fun treat. Use any of your favorite kind of bread.
Butter (optional, but recommended): to add buttery goodness to your toast and help keep the bread from getting dry in the oven. You may also use coconut oil or coconut butter as a dairy-free alternative.
Ground Cinnamon (optional): to complement the berries and add a warm, sweet flavor to your toast.
Chocolate or Chocolate Chips: to spread over the warm toast and make it irresistible. You may use any chocolate you like. My favorite kind of chocolate is dark and packed with health benefits. I like this clean label product (although strong dark chocolate may not be kid-approved :).
Berries: to decorate and top off your all-American toast. You may use any combination of red, blue and white fruits and berries. I used organic blueberries and raspberries, both in season in California this time of year. Be sure to use ripe berries so they are sweet.
Shredded Coconut: to add mild, sweet taste and serve as a natural white stripe topping.
