  • Yield: 30 Servings
15 30 45

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1-1/2 cups applesauce
  • 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 5 teaspoons water
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Dash salt

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the melted chocolate chips, eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with applesauce just until moistened. Fold in miniature chips.
  • Divide batter among five greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans, about 1 cup in each. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • For glaze, combine the chocolate chips, butter and water in a saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted. Remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaves. Yield: 5 mini loaves (6 slices each).

    Editor's Note: Two 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans may be used; bake for 50-55 minutes.

The first time I made this I made it in a bundt pan and took it to a New Year's Eve party. I did not drizzle the topping. I poured it over the top to have it droop down the edges. It was too thick to drizzle, but the effect was a very artistic layer that had the guests drooling.

There was no chocolate loaf left to take home. It was so moist and chocolatey. A sworn dessert abstainer said it was the best he had ever tasted.

I recently made it again, but it was not as moist. The key was, don't skimp on the apple sauce. As a matter of fact, the best results were achieved when I topped up with stewed rhubarb and increased it 2 cups. The moister it is, the more the chocolate flavour comes out.

I will make it over and over... It is requested on a regular basis.

We made this as a family activity, everyone made their own loaf. It was a hug hit! All the kids enjoyed it :) We made it without the drizzle and ate it right out of the oven. It was not too chocolately, which was perfect because this could be a great anytime treat!

Not super chocolaty. Frosting hard to drizzle, I spread instead. Not terrible, not great.
