    Any bread made with chocolate is O.K. by me! Sounds wonderful, and I'll definitely give it a try.

    Toni, do you melt both butters to mix with the cocoa?

    This would be wonderful with a raspberry sauce.

    Sharon sorry for the confusion, I amended the recipe to clear that up especially since I forgot to include that the softened butter was beaten together with the sugar, eggs, etc.

    Thanks for catching that

    I don't know about the raspberry sauce, I am probably one of the few people around who doesn't like raspberry :stew1:
