For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate. If you don't have maraschino cherries, you can substitute with other candied cherries or dried cranberries. To prevent the crust from burning, you can cover the edges with foil during the last few minutes of baking. Ensure the eggs are fresh and of high quality due to the raw egg content.
