I love having guests over for coffee during the holidays. Heck, I love having guests over for coffee all the time. You cannot just have someone over for coffee.
Chocolate Mango Apple Bread
A coffee visit requires some sort of dessert or sweet as well. My husband will always choose my Big Chocolate Chip Cookies and Christmas cookies work well during holidays. I sometimes want something a little bit more grown up than cookies. Finding healthy holiday bread recipes can be a challenge. This Chocolate Mango Apple Bread recipe uses American Heritage chocolate. All American Heritage Chocolate products are certified Kosher, made with all-natural ingredients and no preservatives.
Because American Heritage Chocolate is an authentic historic recipe for chocolate and is made with ingredients that were only available in the 1750’s, it has a very one-of-a-kind flavor that is mildly spicy, and slightly sweet. American Heritage Chocolate is flavored with a blend of spices and ingredients available during colonial times, including cinnamon, nutmeg, chili pepper, orange, anise and vanilla. It’s the perfect addition for this lightly sweet Chocolate Mango Apple bread recipe.
