Our family loves this inviting bread that is great for an after school snack or even breakfast (yeah it’s a bit sweet, but sometimes you need that ;). This recipe creates a very moist bread, that it is even better on day two.
And to save time you can make it ahead. After baking, it can can be frozen for up to 3 months. Simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring the loaf to room temperature before serving.

And if you don’t want chocolate (but who doesn’t??) You can replace the chocolate with pecans or walnuts or raisins (or a mixture).
Let me know if you bake a loaf or two… then send me one!
