    And just this morning I was looking at a bunch of overripe bananas on my counter! :) This sounds delicious!

    LOL I was looking at your list of categories in the left sidebar, and it took me a second to realize that "Crock Pot Curriculum" wasn't all one name. How tired am I?!

    I've had banana bread on the brain these past few days and yours just looks really tasty, especially since it has chocolate in it. I have a sweet treat linky party on my blog every weekend and I'd like to invite you to stop by then and link your bread up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com
