I wanted to love this bread, but I found it only so-so. It was quite dry and definitely needed the added chocolate drizzled over the top. It had lovely flavor, though. Thanks for a neat one to try!

I live in Texas with my wife and four boys. I love collecting and trying new recipes. When I'm not working, cooking, or playing with my four boys, I enjoy television, movies, reading and surfing the Internet. Since I work the off-shifts (9:00 PM to 8:00 AM) I need fast easy breakfast/lunch type recipes. When I find a new recipe that I think that everyone would enjoy, I will make it. This backfires on me about 90 percent of the time. My cooking challenge is picky eaters (all five of them).
