White chocolate is the wonderfully different addition to this tropical-tasting bread. The moist slices are so scrumptious, they disappear as soon as I serve them.

1 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rum extract
2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 medium)
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine butter and sugar; mix well. Add eggs and extracts; beat on high speed until thickened. Stir in bananas. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to banana mixture. Fold in the chocolate, coconut and pecans. Transfer to two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 70-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
