*soften butter & mix well with sugar and honey until pale and fluffy
*add eggs one at a time beating well after each 
*stir through mashed banana
*sift in flour and baking soda
*stir together adding chocolate chips (go on do it)
*pour into a greased and base lined loaf tin
*bake for one hour or until a skewer comes out of the middle clean


pull out and leave on wire rack to cool
