~1/3 cup chocolate chips (to mix in)
1 1/3 cups flour

1 cup plus 2 tbsp boiling water

Cream together butter and brown sugar.  Add and mix in eggs and vanilla.  Fold in the melted chocolate, stir in the chocolate chips.  Mix the flour and baking soda and alternate adding spoonful of flour with a spoonful of water until all flour and water is added.  Pour into parchment lined 9x5 loaf pan.  Bake 375 30 mins, then turn down to 325 for 15 mins.  Cool completely on wire rack.
