Recipe - Toasted Walnut Fudge Bread

1 cup Coarsely chopped walnuts
3 ounce Semisweet chocolate; melted
and cooled
1 cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
5 Eggs
2 One fourth cup Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Buttermilk
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350øF. Grease two 9x5 loaf pans. Toast walnuts on a baking
sheet for 3 to 5 minutes or until fragrant. Cool. Melt chocolate by
microwaving on medium for 25second intervals, stirring in between, until
smooth. Cool. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in
cooled chocolate. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in buttermilk together. Add flour and buttermilk alternately to
chocolate mixture. Stir in walnuts. Divide batter between the 2 prepared
pans. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife or toothpick inserted in
the center comes out clean. Cool bread in pans for 10 minutes, then remove
from pans and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or toast with butter, it's
like eating a warm brownie.
