They turned out very dark. I think I added too much cocoa, but they look good and smell awesome.

when i first started swirling, one of my biggest problems was not adding too much of the swirling color. now i kind of have it down (sometimes) ... for a 4.5 pound log I use a generous ladle full of batter for swirling ... sometimes i had just a little more if i want more of a marbled effect .. less if i want big chunks .. give it time .. play around ... you'll find your groove

Dark or not, I think they look fine...and I'll bet the smell awesome. The fragrance combination sounds yummy! Good job!
