January 4, 2016 at 2:46 amThis is the most decadent recipe I have tried. Instead of using bread pans, I used my Bundt pan. Followed the directions as listed and it came out wonderful. My husband says this is his new favorite. The cocoa powder, chocolate pudding and the DARK chocolate chips is heavenly. This is definitely one of those recipes where I see myself making again and again and again. Thank You !!!!!

September 20, 2016 at 9:00 amI made this with 2 boxes of the Hershey’s special dark pudding. It was so moist and delicious. I would definitely make this again.

May 2, 2017 at 12:34 pmI will be making this for myself on Mother’s Day. No one else in my family can bake and since it also falls on my daughter’s birthday this year (she will be 6) I know I won’t be getting anything at all. I honestly probably won’t get to make it until the next day or so since she will be expecting the cake of her choice for me to bake (and rightfully so). Mother’s Day stopped being important to me a long time ago. I know we don’t have the money for gifts and my husband doesn’t do anything special. Just another day. Wow that comment went from positive to a real downer really quick. Sorry.

April 15, 2018 at 6:07 pmOn the instant pudding mix, is it 1 or 2, 1/2, or 2 boxes? I see this 1-2 so is the second box optional? I ask because I only bought one small box of the instant pudding.

April 17, 2018 at 1:05 pmOne box is fine, Courtney! It depends on personal preference — pudding boost moisture and flavor. I always recommend one small box to start, but many long-time Amish Friendship Bread bakers prefer two.
