This bread lives up to its name, it's quick to assemble and almost as sweet as cake. You'll need four mini loaf pans for this recipe, 5 3/4 x 3 x 2-inch.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray mini loaf pans with flour-based baking spray or grease and flour the pans.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup chocolate chips at 100% power at 30 second intervals until smooth; set aside. Cream the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and melted chocolate. Mix to combine. Add the applesauce and mix again. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and mix to combine; fold in the remaining chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter into the four prepared pans (do not fill beyond 3/4 full). Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick tester comes out clean. Turn the loaves out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Mix together the powdered sugar and milk. The mixture should be thick. Spoon the glaze over the cooled loaves.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals until it can be stirred smooth. Spread the chocolate on the back of a large baking sheet. Refrigerate for 5 minutes, or until set. Using a spatula scrape the chocolate forward. If it breaks, wait 2-3 minutes and test again. When the chocolate begins to curl in front of the spatula, continue to scrape the chocolate from the pan into curls. Gently transfer the curls to the tops of the bread loaves.
When the glaze is set, transfer the loaves to gusseted bread bags and tie with festive ribbon. Give to delighted friends and family.
