Chocolate
Banana Loaf
Recipe
from 1870 Wedgwood Inn of New Hope.
Since
February is for lovers, we thought a recipe with
chocolate
would be in order...So, if you can't pull off a
complete Breakfast in Bed tray for your loved one,
we think
a hot cup of tea or coffee and a warm slice of
this aromatic and tasty Chocolate Banana Loaf served
with
a generous dollup of butter or margarine may be
the next best thing...
Better
yet, purchase your beloved a Gift Certificate to
our B&B Inn, and you can
enjoy Breakfast in Bed together!

Additional comments
For
variation, substitute 4 cups of chopped nuts for
the chocolate chips. "Better yet, simply stir
in 2 cups of chopped nuts *in addition to* the chips!
This recipe tastes as wonderful as it smells baking,
according to innkeeper and chief taster, Carl Glassman.
