AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD CHOCOLATE VARIATIONS

Steps:

• Chocolate Variations Replace the vanilla pudding with chocolate and add 1/2 cup each of chocolate chips and coconut. I use small (about 1 cup size) bundt pans and bake for 45 - 50 minutes ~~~~or~~~~~ Instead of using two loaf pans, I bake it in a bundt pan. Another favorite is to use chocolate instant pudding, and add pecans, chocolate chips and coconut. Let your imagination and taste buds guide you. ~~~~~or~~~~~~ Here's one we came up with ourselves .... Substitute almond ALMOND flavoring (NOT Imitation) for the vanilla flavoring... substitute WHITE CHOCOLATE pudding For the vanilla pudding....` ~~~~or~~~~ My variation for the Friendship Bread is a chocolate one, but I use 1/4 cup cocoa, or even a little more (I prefer Hershey's European Chocolate), and either the vanilla or chocolate pudding can be used. I reduce the cinnamon to half (1 teaspoon). Everyone that tastes it thinks it is outstanding. The cinnamon gives it an even better taste than just using chocolate alone. ~~~~~or~~~~~~ 1 to 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips - this is great if you put the chocolate chips in a bowl and shake 1/2 teaspoon extra cinnamon to coat them. This is very popular. 1 to 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips and orange zest to taste. ~~~~or~~~~ substitute chocolate pudding for the vanilla and add 1 cup of chocolate chips for an awesome Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bread. My friends beg for it! I even had a restaurant ask me to bake it for them. Try it, you'll like it!
