Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Bread

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!

If this bread doesn’t say, “I love you” – I don’t know what does! I’m borderline obsessed with these paper pans. I found these aqua heart ones at World Market and couldn’t leave without them. I love this design too, so classy.

Let it be known – mini bundts are the wave of the future. What cupcakes were to the last few years, mini bundts will be to 2014 and beyond. I mean, does it get more darling?
