Differences {Recipe: Triple Chocolate Malt Bread}

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
Jump to Recipe -

Triple chocolate malt bread is a chocolate lovers dream, with three types of chocolate in one tasty dessert loaf.

I dropped my kids off at school today, got in the car and practically cheered. I love having my kids home, but for the past three days there has been nothing but bickering and meanness coming out of their mouths towards each other.

It’s funny how when you have kids, you have the first one and you think you have it all figured out, then you have another one and you realize, “hey… God sent me someone different!” I have four kids, as many of you know, and they are all about as different as can be. Jacob is my shy, goofy, smart, loving one. Kelly is my little mama… she is a nurturing, caring, sweet martyr. Ella beats to her own drum… she is so funny, spirited, snuggly and warmhearted. Leah is still growing into who she is going to be, but right now I would describe her as inquisitive, charming and spunky. 4 kids blended together in one family, all with completely different personalities. It’s no wonder they bicker so much. However, you know what? They have an equal number of days where they get along splendidly… best friends that can’t be separated. They want to sit by each other at dinner, sleep in the same bed, do everything together. Best buds.

Sometimes when you blend together certain ingredients, you would think it wouldn’t be good because the flavors are so different. Then you take a taste and discover that yes… as different as those ingredients are, they certainly blend well together.

This recipe for Triple Chocolate Malt Bread is kind of that way. Chocolate, malt, cinnamon…flavors that are certainly bold enough to stand on their own but blended together they create a beautiful medley of flavors that is so different, subtle and so unexpected you go back in for another bite just so your mouth can explore some more.

    I love your analogy, Kristen. And the bread looks just beautiful. I’m intrigued by the flavor combination.

    Mmm, I love all of these flavors separately so I’m sure I would love them together even more!

    I bet this is as delightful as your family!

    This sounds like the perfect bread to take on a road trip.

    Beautiful! And a beautiful commentary too! 🙂 I really like chocolate and malt together in baked goods, so I’d love to give this one a shot.
    love,

    Oh my gosh, Kristen, your bread looks delicious. Wish I could just reach through the screen and cut me a slice. Sweet story about your children….and a very universal one. Was just talking about that exact subject with my sister this morning.

    kristen – you had me at malt. as a child I would eat it out of the jar, with a spoon! Love your analogy! And your kids sound pretty spectacular!

    Gorgeous bread… and I love getting to know your kids better! 🙂

    Love it – and yes there’s something in the air because mine were also at each other all weekend! LL

    Aww I love this post. My siblings and I are different and now that we’ve all grown up and moved out we’re all very good friends.

    That bread looks amazing

  12. Jen @ My Kitchen Addiction says

    Yum! This bread looks incredible… I love anything “triple chocolate.”

    Superb presentation… and bread !

    such a great analogy Kristen – bread and kids! yes, each ingredient is different but when all blended together, makes something fabulous. love how you describe Leah as ‘spunky!’ i’m all for spunky kids – was one of those spunky kids too!

  15. Shaina says

    January 24, 2011 at 4:34 pm

    I love how different the four of my kids are too, and it never ceases to amaze me how they can be so incredibly different and the same at the same time. That bread looks divine. I love chocolate malt, so I’m definitely adding it to my recipe book.

  16. Crystal's Cozy Kitchen says

    January 24, 2011 at 5:36 pm

    That bread sounds delightful! Too bad if I made it I’d be WAY too tempted to eat the whole loaf – not good for the weight loss…

  17. Bethany @Bridezilla Bakes says

    January 24, 2011 at 5:40 pm

    Love that flavor combination — chocolate and cinnamon is the BEST and I would love to add malt to that heavenly mix!

    I love your insights about your kids!

  18. Nancy@acommunaltable says

    January 24, 2011 at 6:04 pm

    I think every child is different for a reason – God wants parents to experience the “full range” of parenting!!! The bread sounds delicious and different!!

    Mmmm…anything with chocolate usually catches my eye, but mention triple chocolate and I’m sold. Great looking recipe and pictures!

    January 24, 2011 at 6:26 pm

    I love how this uses cinnamon applesauce!

  21. Sues says

    I’ve been wanting to get some malt powder, JUST so I can do things like this 🙂 Looks delicious!!

    I always love coming to your site and reading your posts!
    Isn’t it so interesting that kids from the same DNA are all so different! I’m scared to have #2….not that I’m pregnant or anything. Just getting to know a new little person and balance everything else is intimidating to me. And you have 4! You are wonder woman.

  23. emiglia says

    January 25, 2011 at 4:13 am

    Sounds like me and my siblings growing up! We were four as well; half the time, we couldn’t stand being in the same room as one another, but we always loved each other, and in the end, I realize now that I’m out in the real world that I’ll never have friends as good as my siblings.

    That chocolate drizzle really does it for me. Delicious-looking bread!

    Wish my little guy had 3 little buddies to hang out with, though I might have been driven crazy by now if that had happened 😉

    Well Kristin, from the moment I saw the name of this recipe there was no doubt in my mind that there would be big chances of eating the whole loaf in one sitting. The flavors sound perfect. How you handle 4 kids bickering is beyond me, when my two get at each other it is nerve wracking to say the least. When they are sweet with each other all is right in the world 🙂 xo

  26. TidyMom says

    January 25, 2011 at 6:05 am

    My family would flip if I made this for them!! Thanks for sharing Kristen!

    Love this post on your children. I know how it is with just one, some days are much better than others! 🙂

    Isn’t it funny how you can have kids from the same parents and they have such different personalities? I often look at my 2 boys and am amazed at how completely different they are!

  29. Cookin' Canuck says

    January 25, 2011 at 10:24 am

    Wow, what a treat this bread is! I am certain I wouldn’t be able to stop at just one slice. I am always amazed at how different my two boys are. They love each other, but they definitely have their bickering moments.

  30. Donalyn says

    January 25, 2011 at 11:37 am

    Hey Kristin – this looks so good & I’ll be giving it a try for sure. I just wanted to stop by and tell you how glad I am to have a contribution from you on Dessertstalking again. Welcome back! -Donalyn

    This chocolate bread looks amazing. A chocoholic’s dream.

    So true about the different personalities of kids. My husband and I wonder how our genes could have combined in completely different ways to create our two boys. What one is, the other is the opposite. This bread looks delicious..I love the combination of flavors.

  33. Cookbook Queen says

    January 25, 2011 at 4:11 pm

    I am assuming that you will be bringing several loaves of this to Blissdom, hmmmm???? 😉

    Looks so yummy!!!

    We LUV malt in this house. This bread is making my mouth water. Might need to give it a try! : )

    Those pics are just breathtaking! I wish I could have started my morning off with a slice of that delicious-looking bread.

  36. Wenderly says

    January 28, 2011 at 12:13 pm

    My kids are like ying & yang…totally different, I’m amazed that it was possible to come from the same parents! But it makes things interesting and fun to say the least. Just like this dessert!
