Cranberry Chocolate Orange Loaves created by Rachchow

I like to make these in mini loaf pans--wrap them up in some cellophane with ribbon and they make a perfect Christmas gift! Moist and addictive.

Very tasty! But I would cut the sugar by at least 1/2cup next time - a bit too sweet for my taste. I used pecans instead of walnuts, 1/2 five alive juice (ran out of orang juice, but it gave it a nice flavour) and whole wheat flour. Took a bit longer to cook - had to leave it in for an additional 15 mins.
