Chocolate Banana Bread

I've tried chocolate banana bread before and I remember I didn't really care for it. I found this recipe and had to try again. This was so yummy. I made 4 little loaves and then I freeze them and just eat one at a time. If I don't do that I will eat the whole loaf myself in about 1 day. My husband won't eat banana bread so I always end up eating it myself. My son loved this bread!
Ingredients

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups mashed bananas (about 3)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1. Heat oven to 350. Spray bottom of 8x4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. Beat sugar, eggs, and oil in large bowl at medium speed until combined. Beat in banana and vanilla at low speed. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; beat into banana mixture at low speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

3 Spoon batter into pan. Bake 60-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack.

This looks really good. I'm going to try that soon.
So I was looking at your blog directions on how to make a bow (which I'm about to do) but also saw that you were going to post how to make a curly ribbon bow but I can't find where you posted it. I'm probably just dumb. If you didn't post it I understand, it's busy with two kids, but if you did, will you comment on here to tell me where it is?
Thanks! I love checking your blog!
