Day 296: Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Bread

When I saw this recipe I KNEW I had to try it.  Talk about the food of the Gods!  The only way a recipe like this could sound better is if I found a way to add bacon to it!  I adapted this from a site called Chez Us.

The Finished Product

The Reveiw

This is soooo good!  I've found my new favorite banana bread recipe.  Next time I make it, I'm going to be sure I'm home all alone so I can eat the whole thing myself!  As soon as my kids found out what it was they started devouring it.  It was like watching hogs being slopped.  You'd think I hadn't fed them in a month.  Seriously, you have to try this!  Grade A.
