Double chocolate anything….sign me up! I love banana bread, but this version is for serious chocolate fans! It’s rich, fudgy, and decadent. I didn’t realize banana bread could be decadent, but this totally is. I made this before Kayla left for boot camp, and she loved it, and she’s not a chocolate fan! Thing is she doesn’t like milk chocolate, but dark chocolate she does. This one does lend itself more dark chocolate flavors.  One thing she mentioned, that I didn’t even notice was that you can’t taste banana, at all. Which is unusual for banana bread, but I guess it has to do with the overload of chocolaty goodness.

Now I’ve categorized this as breakfast and dessert, and you may be thinking that with all that chocolate it’s bound to be too sweet. No worries there, it’s not too sweet at all. I use a dutch process cocoa powder and semi sweet chocolate chips in this recipe which help pull away from the overly sweetness that a lot of banana breads have.

This would be an easy recipe for Mother’s Day. I would even feel great about printing out this recipe and passing it off to Kelsie to bake. Kelsie is almost 13, so please be careful having younger kids be near the hot oven. 🙂 Of course I shouldn’t have to say that, but you know we also shouldn’t have a warning about not using a hair dryer in the bathtub either. Hahaha.

Anyway. An update on Kayla…as of writing this today, which is only Wednesday a couple of days ago, I have only received her box of belongings, and her initial phone call. Nothing else. Her recruiter has been of no help to me. We booked one room at The Navy Lodge, but I’m so worried it’s for the wrong weekend. The date that she arrived to boot camp, could have put her graduating one weekend or the other. I am literally waiting on what’s called “the form letter.” A letter that she has filled in the blanks for graduation information, and an address, finally, so that we can send her all the letters we’ve written. (a lot, I might add) I’m hoping that by the time this post is live that I will have received that letter. Tomorrow will be her 3rd Saturday there, and they are supposed to be allowed a phone call, if the division isn’t in trouble. I’m praying that she for one bought a phone card at the NEX, two she isn’t on watch, and three, that they aren’t in trouble! I really want to talk to her, and find out how it’s going. I know it’s hard, but to hear her say she’s ok, would be wonderful. I know the saying that I’m learning to live by while she’s there, “no news is good news.”

  • SWEET & SPICY BACON WRAPPED LITTLE SMOKIES hit all the right taste buds! They are so good you can’t stop eating them…Perfect for game day or a holiday party snack! .
. https://www.everydaymadefresh.com/sweet-spicy-bacon-wrapped-little-smokies/ .
.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound thick cut bacon
1 package little smokies
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If making these to bake now, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Otherwise, do this when you're ready to bake them.

2. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and chili powder. Set aside.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil. 
4. Measure out how much bacon to roll for each little smokie. I got about three little smokies per slice of bacon. It's gonna depend on the thickness of the bacon, etc. 
5. Roll the little smokie up, secure with a tooth pick and thoroughly coat with the brown sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet, and repeat until you've rolled all the little smokies up. If you have extra bacon, just coat it with the brown sugar mixture and bake it as well. So good!! 6. When ready to bake, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp along the edges. .
