My kids love my Cinnamon Sugar Bread. The cinnamon swirl featured inside was magnificent, yet it couldn’t compare to the crunchy topping that completed this breakfast treat!

After devouring the loaf, which tastes like a churro for breakfast, I thought adding a chocolate twist might be incredible. And it is!

After making this recipe, I felt a wave of nostalgia. I vividly recall living in downtown Denver and walking to Starbucks every morning for a Venti Mocha Latte and, occasionally, Chocolate Cinnamon Bread.

Although it’s been nearly two decades since I last had this treat, one bite of the delicious bread instantly brought me back to those fond memories.
