Notes

Note:
I use Hershey's Special Dark cocoa when I make this. We love the texture and flavor it gives the bread. Regular dutched cocoa will give you a product much closer to Starbuck's original.
This recipe will make 6 mini-loaves. Just put about 1/2 cup batter into each pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes!
