English-Style Chocolate Bread
Comments:	What is better in the afternoon than to relax drinking a good cup of tea and having a slice of bread specially when it is a slice of this English-style chocolate bread! For a change, instead of adding dark chocolate chips, try adding milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or a mixture of the three. Dried cranberries can also be added instead of raisins.
