Why You’ll Love This Delicious Chocolate Bread

If you love easy recipes, this is the one for you. This bread is so simple and comes together quickly. We make it with buttermilk because it has a richer taste and really adds to this recipe. If you have followed us for any amount of time, you know we love to cook with buttermilk. We also love chocolate and this is a delicious bread. Great with a hot cup of coffee!

Swaps and Additions

We use generic or Hershey’s cocoa. We also use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use any you like. Some people perfer dark chocolate chips. You can use pecans instead of walnuts or leave the nuts out. We use unsalted butter since the recipe already has salt. If you have salted, you can easily use it, just leave the salt out.
