I developed this sweet chocolate and banana bread after looking for ways to use extra dried tart cherries. It’s so rich and moist, no one will guess its lighter. —Cindy Beberman of Orland Park, Illinois

Awesome recipe. Used frozen cherries instead of dried. Brought it to work and it was gone in an hour.

I am glad to read the reviews. I was going to get dried cherries today but at $10 a bag I backed off. I have the marechino cherries here so will try those. Thanks for posting the reviews.

Loved it. I used one cup of cut up maraschino cherries instead of the dried cherries. It's great. It's a make again recipe.

We really enjoyed this bread recipe. I like to make different breads and put them in the freezer and this one was different and great.

I was disappointed in the recipe. Not enough flavor, dry was baked to directions of the recipe.

I didn't have dried cherries, so I used maraschino instead. It was good but I thought it was dry. I cooked it the least amount of time suggested. I probable won't make it again.

Nice quick recipe although I think the next time I make this I will put in chocolate chips. I like more of a chocolate flavor.
