Adding a chocolate twist to anything makes it better:) Well, maybe not anything....I'm still not sure about chocolate chip pancakes. But in the culinary world of the Amish, there is "chocolate shoofly pie" (I stumbled into some at a bakery in Pennsylvania once), chocolate custard, chocolate vanilla doughnuts...if the Amish make it, you can most likely add chocolate to it. Until recently, however, I had not seen a recipe for chocolate friendship bread. Thanks to reader Theresa for making it and sharing it with us in a photo. Doesn't this look tasty? Below is the recipe.

I'm not sure if I understand this recipe correctly. At the beginning of the ingredients, it begins with 'Frienship starter' being the first ingredient? Or is it saying that all the ingredients beneath it are the friendship starter? Am I missing something here? I would really like to try this....can someone please help me with this?

Teresa, thanks for stopping by...I can see how that might be unclear. No, it is saying start with "Friendship starter" (many recipes for starter out there)...The rest then are the ingredients for the chocolate friendship bread. Good luck! - Kevin
