Kitchen Notes

For an extra rich chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup cocoa powder.

From Michelle Lee: “Turn this into Super Mounds bread by adding in 1 teaspoon almond flavoring, 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shaven coconut and 2 boxes of instant coconut pudding instead of chocolate pudding. Once bread cools, add on a layer of Chocolate Icing then almonds and another layer of frosting. Top with more almonds.”

From Jeanmarie:  “For another variation add coconut pudding instead of chocolate, 1/2 teaspoon of coconut flavoring instead of vanilla and add mini chocolate chips to the batter.”
