My wife suggested cranberries instead of the chocolate so I put in a half cup chopped up in a food processor and she loved it! Great recipe thank you.

Am writing this from heaven, since I think that is where I went after the first bite! I made 2 loaves. One with pecans, the other as written. Excellent. Will be making again for the holidays. My neighbors loved it also. Thanks for another great treat.
