Double Chocolate Banana Bread
This bread is rich and chocolatey, but you'll still taste the banana! I use and recommend Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder in this recipe.

Notes
- I baked this bread in a ceramic loaf pan. If you're using a glass or metal pan, your baking times may vary. Keep an eye on the bread and check with a tester before removing from the oven.
