Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
Combine flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda in medium bowl. Beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter and sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Fold in 1/4 cup pecans. Pour into prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake for 20 minutes. Top with 1/4 cup morsels and remaining pecans; continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4
Microwave remaining 1/2 cup morsels in small, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted; let cool. Beat cooled morsels, remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and honey in small mixer bowl until fluffy. Makes about 1 cup.
Step 5
Serve bread with chocolate honey butter.
If you do not have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute sour milk made with NESTLÉ CARNATION Evaporated Milk (Regular, Lowfat or Fat Free). Measure 1/2 cup NESTLÉ CARNATION Evaporated Milk into glass measuring cup. Add 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice; stir. Let stand for 5 minutes before using.
