Chocolate Quick Bread Recipe
Bringing two of my loves together into one amazing dessert. Chocolate covered cherries and quick bread . . . perfection!
I’ve always loved the chocolate and cherry combo. What is not to like? But, I have a soft spot for anything chocolate covered cherry flavored.
My mom has given me a box of chocolate covered cherries every Christmas morning for as long as I can remember. So my Christmas morning tradition is eating chocolate covered cherries for breakfast! Don’t judge, it’s one day a year.
As you can see, this quick bread is ooey-gooey just like chocolate covered cherries. Don’t worry, the glaze will set. I just couldn’t wait a moment longer before I sliced into it!
