Chocolate Variations in the Recipe Box:

Here are the qualified entries so far:

1. & 2. Chocolate/White Chocolate Marble Amish Friendship Bread, submitted by Kira Endicott (Winfield, KS). “Use a toothpick to make swirl designs if you would like, but just leaving the layers of batter looks great, too. This bread is super moist and tastes wonderful when warmed up.”

3., 4. & 5. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Amish Friendship Bread and Coconut Walnut Chocolate Chip Amish Friendship Bread, submitted by Kathryn Jensen (Spring, TX). “It had been years since I had used the friendship bread starters so last month I decided to go another round. Since then it has taken off, and my original starter has now traveled as far from Houston as Tennessee 🙂 Very Exciting!!”

6. Chocolate Amish Friendship Bread, submitted by Nancy Hubbard (Walla Walla, WA). “Even my friendship bread is smiling!”

7. Dark Chocolate and Almond Amish Friendship Bread, submitted by Lucia Ciattaglia (Marche, Italy). “I made this cake last Sunday morning then I invited a dear friend for tea. Every now and then we take time just to ourselves!”

8. Gluten-Free Chocolate Amish Friendship Bread Brownies, submitted by Beverly Horner (Ulysses, Kansas). “I sprinkled the nuts on top, in case those I gave them to didn’t care for nuts.”

9. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Amish Friendship Bread Cookies, submitted by Michele Neiber (Rockford, IL). “I like to add milk chocolate chips to the peanut butter cookie recipe — it makes them really good.”

10. Nutella Chocolate Amish Friendship Bread, submitted by Kathy Cooper (Terre Haute, Indiana). “Make and bake often!”

11., 12., 13. & 14. Gluten Free Chocolate Cranberry Amish Friendship Bread, submitted by Beverly Horner (Ulysses, KS). “I wanted to do something besides regular loaves so I baked two in small round casserole dishes. They turned out very well.”

15. Double Chocolate Amish Friendship Bread with Peanut Butter Cups, submitted by Tammy Deatrich (Mercersburg, PA). “I omitted the chocolate chips and added 24 crushed miniature chocolate peanut butter cups. A nice peanut butter surprise in every piece!”
