I am a chocoholic but I didn't like this. I agree with other reviewers that banana bread with chocolate chips is a better bet.

Really good and forgiving! I did not have sour cream so I used vanilla yogurt and it worked just fine. I also used less sugar (1 1/2 cups)and bananas (3), baked it for an hour in a bundt pan. Yum!

Instead of a bread pan, I made this batter into muffins. Cooked for about 20 min. Moist and delicious!

I really liked this banana bread. It is a nice change from the one I was usually making. I halved the recipe. I am going to try making it into muffins the next time. Anything with chocolate is great!!

This is the first one I have ever made and I LOVED IT!! I am making another one today. The kids ate it up, the neighbor even got a loaf. It is great, no changes I just added more bananas.

Very rich and moist, but the banana flavor was a little lost. I may try adding more banana next time. It was still delicious.

I thought this turned out wonderful, love both the flavors together. Only thing I changed was adding chopped walnuts. Next time I might try half wheat flour. The sour cream was something I'd never used before so I think it made it very moist. Loved it!

Some people mentioned the chocolate totally overtook the banana- I didn't have that problem at all. Maybe because I absolutely love chocolate? This bread is fantastic! I didn't alter it at all- perfect as-is!

really good, moist chocolaty and bananay. I used half butter half applesauce. I halved the sugar as suggested and it was the perfect sweetness (my two year old called it cake even though it had less sugar than called for) and i used half whole wheat flour.

This is a wonderful variation of banana bread~ I loved it, my husband did not. But who cares it had me at chocolate! I used real butter, ommited the chocolate chips (didnt have any), used 8 bananas (why not use them all) and topped with fresh whipped cream! O M G! I kept this one to myself, I told my employees about it but I could not part with it. It kept great covered on the counter (4 days). Very moist, chocolate was not overpowering (maybe because I added 8 bananas). Def a keeper! Thanks Tracie.

This is a 5 Star Recipe! I used real butter, not margarine, just my preference and the mini-chocolate chips that another reviewer suggested. I baked it in a bundt pan, and had enough left over for a loaf pan too! I drizzled a chocolate ganache frosting over the bread, and sprinkled with left-over mini choco-chips. There is a pic of it on my profile, for some reason it hasn't been posted here yet.

This is an awesome chocolate banana bread recipe. I've made it at least two dozen times and it's my fiance's absolute favorite. If you use larger bananas, you'll get more moist bread and vice versa. I think it's plenty sweet already so I only use 1/3 cup of sugar (for 1 loaf). Also depending on what I have on hand, I use bittersweet or milk chocolate chips sometimes. The bread always come out great!

My husband loves this banana bread! Its very delicious!! The only thing I would do different next time is add some nuts. When I think of banana bread I think of nuts and it felt like they were missing, otherwise this is very very delicious!

Loved this recipe!!! I added 7 banana's instead of 6. I did 1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening, and regular sour cream (not light) It was so yummy- thanks for the great new recipe. I will still use my traditional banana bread recipe. This is just a nice change!

I made this for the first time and it is wonderful! I did not have sour cream so used light vanilla yogurt and added walnuts. This will be made all the time. I gave this to a friend that fell and is recovering and she is in love with this.

I love this recipe. Anytime I have extra bananas, this gets made. Sometimes I'll halve the recipe for one loaf, other times it will be as written and I'll make one 9x5 loaf and four mini loaves. Remember the mini's cook quicker, but it just means you can eat that much quicker!

Not too chocolatey, just right. I personally would have given it 4 stars because I thought it was good, but not to die for. I brought it to work and everyone scarfed it down, loved it, so hence the crowd-pleasing 5 stars! I had to bake it a little longer than the directions said. I adjusted the recipe to use 4 bananas since that is what I had and with that amount, I made a large loaf and two mini loaves. Used mini chocolate chips too. I highly recommend trying this recipe for a change to the usual banana bread!
