Triple-Chocolate Quick Bread

I am 4 days past my due-date and today, I needed some serious chocolate. I found this recipe, and lets just say... it did the job. (Not the baby part, but it at least made me feel better about waiting for the baby. :)

Triple-Chocolate Quick Bread
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cip packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

In microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup chocolate chips (about 40 seconds and stir); set aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and cooled chocolate; mix well. Add applesauce and vanilla; set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the remaing chocolate chips.

Spoon into four greased mini loaf pans (I think it would probably fill about 2 of the regular). Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks.

Chocolate Glaze:
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 T butter
2-3 T half-and-half cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Melt chocolate chips and butter in a small saucepan; stir in cream. Remove from heat; stir in powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Drizzle over warm breads. Cool completely.
Amberlee says she "prefers" the batter... and can you blaim her?
