Chocolate Cherry Walnut Bread

If you get a sweet treat from me around Christmas time, that means I like you :) Did you get one of these popcorn mix last year? Or one of these bite-size holiday cookie mix the year before that?

What inspired me to make this year's Chocolate Cherry Walnut bread? Well, when I bought my marble pastry board from Sur la Table, I needed a little something to fulfill the order's free shipping minimum (Don't lie, I know you've done that before!) That's when I saw these paper loaf molds, and I knew right away I wanted them for making this year's holiday baking. Chocolate, cherry, and walnut just make sense together as a holiday bread. Don't you think?
