Sixty four cents for a bag of ripe bananas, "yes, please!"
The best way I know of to use ripe bananas is to whip up a batch of yummy banana bread. But instead of the typical banana bread, I wanted to try adding chocolate. I was dreaming of a full blown deliciously moist chocolate and chocolate chip banana bread. mmmm, mmmm.
This is one of those rare recipes that came together on the first try, and oh, is it soooo good. So easy, and so chocolatey you will want to run to the produce department for marked down bananas :)
