This is a recipe for "Decadent Chocolate Cherry Bread". I feel free to use this recipe as a gift when invited to a dinner party myself. Along with the loaf of bread, I will bring a stack of recipe cards just-in-case someone wishes to taste the bread and then bake a loaf themselves at home. It's a good way to share something that is so great! Enjoy!!!
