Ingredients
- 4 eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ¼ cup (60 mL) ¼ cup maple syrup and almond extract.
Add 4 cups (1 L) of the bread to 6-quart (6 L) slow cooker. Scatter ½ cup (125 mL) of the chocolate and ½ cup (125 mL) of the raspberries. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Pour egg mixture over bread and gently press down to absorb liquid. Top with almonds, if using.
