Chocolate Cinnamon Babka - Brioche dough is braided with a swirl of chocolate and cinnamon and baked to perfection to make two perfect loaves.

Chocolate and bread has become something I've recently been drawn to. Only recently?! Yes, I know it's odd considering I love all things carbs and all things chocolate. But chocolate croissants and Nutella on bread weren't really my thing because the bread wasn't sweet, too. I needed the whole bite to be wrapped in sweetness.

But once this Chocolate Cinnamon Babka entered my life, I found exactly what I've been looking for. The dough is rich and sweet (thanks to a cinnamon syrup we brush it with after baking) and the chocolate cinnamon filling is perfectly rich and spicy. It's the best slice of chocolatey bread I've ever had!
