Banana Bread was never really appealing to me...until college when my best friend's mom sent it in the mail. This bread includes chocolate - such a great combo with bananas (or most other things) - and a streusel top. Thank you, Mary, I've always enjoyed eating this bread and all your foods when Tom would finally share with me at 4AM. You've changed my thoughts on what I thought sounded pretty boring and dry...and thanks for adding chocolate when the recipe didn't call for it!
