Hi!! This chocolate bread sounds divine!! Going to make soon….but I was wondering…do you ever add any vanilla flavoring or any other flavoring ……I bake a lot and it is rare I find a recipe for something sweet without any flavoring of some kind.
Do you think adding vanilla flavoring to this recipe would be okay???
I think that would be fine Kimberley go ahead and add it to the recipe if you want.
Thanks…I will let you know how it turns out! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
Have you made this as mini loaves? Would like to make to give away as gifts. Cooking time I guess would change? Sounds delish!
I have not made the mini loaves but you are right and it would make a great gift. I would just cook about 10 minutes less and check centers about 10 minutes before regular cooking time. Good luck and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
W O W….chocolate bread….Y U M
Could you used Hershey’s Cocoa instead of the chocolate chips? Thanks.
I only make it by the recipe.
I want to make a dessert to freeze and would love to make this. Do you think this is freezable? Thanks!
I have not tried freezing it but I think you could do so, Rebecca.
Made it today and it is so good! Can’t wait to share it with my friends. 🙂
This is a lot like the chocolate amish bread I’ve made in the past.
I feel a sin coming on!
It was quite yummy!
Oh my, that big glass of milk just seals the deal too. I always have buttermilk on hand to make bread. I just love this recipe.
Chocolate Bread! I think I’ve died and gone to Heaven.
