Chocolate Peppermint Loaf Bread

November 7, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Howdy Partners,

I told you I’d be back with another peppermint recipe!!  I am officially addicted to peppermint.  It’s horrible!!  No it’s not, who am I fooling?  I love peppermint!!  And I love peppermint with chocolate even more!!!

This bread is amazing!!  It’s sweet, chocolaty and has little surprises of mint chocolate chips in it!!  It’s like eating a big chocolate brownie, just a tad healthier!!   During baking, the smell of my house was like Christmas, it smelled like a big mug of hot chocolate with a slight aroma of candy canes.  Oh man, I couldn’t wait for the bread to be done.  My Husbands friend came over and I told him if he waited 10 minutes, I’d give him some bread.  He did, I gave it to him while it was still hot and soft.  He smelled it and was like OMG!  He said I shouldn’t eat this.  I told him go ahead.  It’s not to bad for you.  I don’t like to tell people something is healthy, otherwise they won’t want to eat it!  Strange I know!


About 15 minutes after my Husbands friend left our house, my Husband and I were walking to the store and my Hubby got a text message from his friend.  His friend said “tell Jen the bread is excellent ”  Yah!!!  I told my Husband he just left our house, the bread was still hot!  lol, I guess he couldn’t wait! This bread is really delicious.  I can see heating it up in the microwave and putting a dollop of vanilla ice cream on it and maybe some peppermint whip cream.  This bread would make such a great dessert!!

My Husband took the bread to work, and I asked him what he thought, and he loved the chocolate chips in it.  He said they were little bites of pudding.  I was a little unsure if the bread would be chewy, but he said it wasn’t.  He said he loved it.  I asked if he shared him mini loaf, he said nope!  I told him I have one more mini loaf left and I was going to take it to work, he said, NO!  It’s mine!  I guess he really did like it.  One thing about my Husband is he is brutally honest about something that he does’t like and I always share his opinion with you, so when I say he liked it, he really did like it!!

Well that’s it for me to go!  It’s getting late and I still have to pack lunch!  I hate packing lunch, normally it’s a salad and I that means cutting veggies!!  Maybe I should have a PBandJ sandwich?  I haven’t had one of those in a while.

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    That looks delicious! I am addicted to Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peppermint loaf cake, (a new mix) and now thanks to you I can make a healthier version 🙂 Do you think vanilla Greek yogurt would be okay to use instead of plain? Also, could I substitute white whole wheat flour for the whole wheat pastry flour? I have both those items on hand now 🙂 I saved some mint chocolate chips from Xmas last year..Thank you!

      If you sub vanilla yogurt I think it would taste wonderful. I don’t see any issues with subbing the flour either. I saw TJ’s loaf cake, but was to afraid to try it! I heard it tastes amazing!

        Thank you! Yes, the Trader Joe’s mix is fantastic and addictive 🙂 I made a loaf for a friend, and he said he finished half of it in one day!

        Do you have a recipe for Peppermint Mocha coffee? I will have to go back and look through your recipes. Thanks !

    Hi Jennifer!
    Is the calories for 15 slices based off each mini loaf having 15 slices, or one big loaf having 15 slices?
    Can’t wait to make this!

      Good morning! Its 15 slices for the whole recipe. If you make mini loafs, it is 5 slices per loaf or if you make a big loaf, its 15 slices. If you make it let me know what you think of it.

    Looks fantastic!! Are your nutritional values calculated using whole eggs or egg substitute? How much difference does that make? I’ve never used the egg substitute, so I don’t have any idea of how it compares to eggs.
    Can’t wait to try this one.

      I used egg substitute which is 25 calorie per serving, which is one egg. The brand I used is Reddi Egg. which I purchased at Trader Joe’s. I use it all the time in my cooking and no one notices the difference. Matter in fact my picky step-daughter loves cheesy egg omelets but we were out of eggs, so I told her to use the egg substitute and believe me she didn’t want to, and after she tried the first bite, she said it tastes the same as an egg. I was skeptical at first, but I love egg substitute. If you try the bread, let me know what you think!

    So, is that 1/3 cup each dark chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips, or a total of 1/3 of MIXED dark chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips?

      Hi Brenda! I got the Tollhouse mix of dark chocolate chip with mints in it, so a 1/3 cup total. 🙂

    Looks wonderful–I’m going to make this tonight. But one question: a *tablespoon* of vanilla? That’s a LOT of vanilla for one loaf.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach

Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
