Triple Chocolate Banana Bread Is The Definition Of Pure Bliss

This is a great bread to take to potluck dinners. People are just amazed at the look of it, and then when they get a taste of it, I can’t stop the compliments from coming in. I always get tons of requests for a copy of how to make it from the men and women that love their breads. I had made banana bread before, but nothing compares to this version. I can’t see myself going back to the old version ever again. Whenever I have bananas reach the right level of ripeness, I am whipping this up without any hesitation… and I always try and share with Mom.

Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Spend With Pennies:
