Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Bread

This was DELICIOUS! I baked a loaf last week for a get-together and everyone loved it (even those who don't care much for chocolate or bananas). This recipe is definitely a keeper. I baked another loaf last night. Today I had a piece with my coffee and it was great. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
