Chocolate Chip Almond Bread

It's been a few months, but I finally did it. I actually made a new recipe, took pictures, and posted it. I tweaked a recipe I found online because I literally couldn't find a recipe for what I wanted, which never happens.

I wanted almond bread with chocolate chips in it, not chocolate almond bread. So I found a recipe for chocolate chip bread, added almond extract.

I also added an almond glaze and topped it with honey roasted slivered almonds. I did not make these almonds myself but purchased them at Trader Joe's. They were so delicious!

It saves up to three days or you can freeze it and eat it later. 

I sliced up this particular loaf and wrapped the individual slices to include in Christmas presents. The chocolate chips really went well with the almonds!
