This is one of my all time faves (being a chocoholic it would be!) Hope someone else can enjoy it too!! Lori :o)

1 pound loaf:
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 Tbsp marg. or butter
2 cups bread flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1.5 pound loaf:
1 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 Tbsp margarine or butter
3 cups bread flour
3 Tbsp brown sugar
4 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp active dry yeast
2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Select loaf size and add ingredients to machine according to machine directions.

Just a few things that I've found work better for me:

I used the mini chips if you can find them and they tend to spread out better in the dough and I put them in the beginning rather than wait until the last knead cycle otherwise they tend to sit at the bottom of the bread.

You can also add cinnamon to the bread (1/4 tsp for the 1 lb. and 1/2 tsp for the 1 1/2 lb.) and they call it Mexican double chocolate bread. Anyway you do it comes out mouth watering.
