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!
