Instructions
  1. In a microwave, melt chocolate with the water; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla, then chocolate mixture.
  2. Combine the flour, latte mix, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream.
  3. Transfer to 3 greased 5-3/4x3x2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. For frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, latte mix, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Frost tops of loaves.
Recipe Notes
Health Tip: Skip the frosting and dust the top of these loaves with confectioners’ sugar to cut calories by almost 20 per cent.
