I made a second one and reduced the oven temperature to 350 and baked it less time (25 minutes), and it was a little better.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"04\/07\/2017 11:30","GUID":"45c4dc099f424c4ab8bd54aa1395268a","MemberId":1441542,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"KristineChayes","SubmittedDate":"05\/01\/2016 14:23"},{"Comment":"
Terrible toooo... much cinnamon, usually I double cinnamon in recipes, wish I would have trusted my gut on this and used 3 tsp. instead. Also I wish I would have used mini chocolate chips and cut down to 1\/2 cup another thing I usually add extra of.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"02\/18\/2016 22:17","GUID":"2d9e6abf58194e3bbf7fa7d3bf022ace","MemberId":4065103,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"siram","SubmittedDate":"02\/18\/2016 22:17"},{"Comment":"

I just made Mom's chocolate bread with my granddaughter because it reminded me of babka. Yes, it's got a lot of chocolate. Yes, it's got a lot of cinnamon. That's what what we loved about this. You can always cut the amounts down but we loved it just the way it's written.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"07\/27\/2016 09:57","GUID":"4803007c39144974833fdae9e501b55c","MemberId":7202558,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"LindaS_WI","SubmittedDate":"02\/12\/2016 13:47"},{"Comment":"
This was terrible. My husband was the only one of the 4 of us who liked it enough to eat it but he complained that it was weird. I tossed half of it out. I did not add all for the cinnamon sugar mixture that the recipe called for because it was clearly too much. I used about 2\/3s of it and it was still way too much.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"02\/01\/2016 19:38","GUID":"e2088954a8d949cd82d1334996498dd8","MemberId":8723650,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"Linda4325","SubmittedDate":"02\/01\/2016 19:38"},{"Comment":"
The overwhelming chocolate and cinnamon taste in this bread was just too, too much for me and my chocoholic daughter. The taste of the crescent rolls themselves was completely absent due to the filling's dominate taste. IF (a big if) I were to make this again, I'd cut the filling in half so as to enjoy just a tiny bit of the bread texture and taste. Also be aware that it barely rises to fill a loaf pain. Just a so-so recipe in contrast to all the good bread recipes available.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"02\/01\/2016 13:43","GUID":"7e259099002e491f85ab2a01f1459bb8","MemberId":3481416,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"watsonl1","SubmittedDate":"02\/01\/2016 13:43"},{"Comment":"
Guess I did it wrong. Does the rectangle come out with triangles two across and 4 long? Not much to work with to roll up jelly roll style. Mine did not press and stay together and ended up falling apart and just lumped in the pan in a heap.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"01\/31\/2016 09:23","GUID":"cfd2ea2a8d0f49a7bc34afc57fe426d1","MemberId":5847621,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"sugarlily","SubmittedDate":"01\/31\/2016 09:23"},{"Comment":"
