Peanut Butter and Chocolate Bread

If you like Peanut Butter and Chocolate together...
and even if you don't,
you will love this bread.
The taste is reminiscent of
peanut butter chocolate chip cookies..

Peanut Butter and Chocolate bread has it all.
The right amount of  mini chocolate chips and
peanut butter chips, the added crunch from
chopped dry-roasted peanuts and
the subtle flavor of peanut butter.
It's delicious~

I am a huge fan of quick breads and
this bread is a nice change from
the typical quick bread recipes.
