Making zuke bread as we speak...I've added choc chips before, but never MELTED CHOCOLATE! Wow!
On a side note...I glaze my walnuts and pecans with egg white, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon and cook them ahead of time then add to the bread batter...awesome!
The bread freezes well also...we eat it all through the year.
Mmmmmmmmmm I love the idea of the glazed nuts. I will do that for sure on my next batch... By looking at my zucchini crop that will be very soon hehee
