Remove 1/2 cup of the batter to medium bowl; stir in 1/2 cup chocolate syrup to make chocolate fudge batter.
Spread half of the peanut butter batter evenly in loaf pans (one-fourth of batter in each pan).
Spoon chocolate fudge batter onto centre of peanut butter batter in pans.
Spoon and spread remaining peanut butter batter evenly over pans.

Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre of each loaf comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes in pans.
