Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

At the end of the week I always have a few bananas laying around.  I have a few weird food rules and I do not like bananas that have any spots on the outside and I really only enjoy them if they are "just ripe: so this actually happens pretty frequently. 

Normally I make banana cake or plain banana bread. This weekend  I thought I would try a Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. IT is delicious! The bread is moist, and the addition of the chocolate and the chocolate chips makes it a little decadent and seem more like a dessert as opposed to a quick bread.
