MINI CHOCOLATE LOAVES
My sister gave me this recipe years ago. We've been making these forever as christmas gifts. I almost always use homemade applesauce when making these but have used bought, they still turn out well I just prefer the homemade because I feel the bread comes out moister. My sister often glazes hers with a chocolate glaze, I don't feel they really need anything extra. These also freeze really well.
