Because I'm too cheap to spend an extra .50 cents...

Let me put down my fork and tell you about the Chocolate Chip Whipped Cream bread I made today. It tastes really good, but I'm not pleased with my sinking chocolate chips. I did toss them with flour before adding them to the batter, but apparently, they still did a nose dive to the bottom.

The recipe called for mini chocolate chips, but I noticed at the grocery store, these chips were .50 more than the regular chocolate chips. Tightwad that I am, I couldn't bring myself to pay the extra .50 cents for the same amount of chocolate.

I used my stone 9 x 5 bread pan, but when I make this again, I'll use my silicon pan. I greased it, but the bread still stuck a little. I think it was all the chocolate chips at the bottom.

It still tastes super yum-o. I will have to wrap it up and hide it from myself or there won't be any left for DH to try.

Chocolate Chip Whipped Cream Loaf

1 1/2 C flour
1 C sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 C heavy whipping cream
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
1/2 C mini chocolate chips ( or regular chips if you want all your chocolate at the bottom!)

Preheat oven to 350 F
-Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan
-Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt
-Toss the chocolate chips into the flour mixture and set aside
-Beat cream on high until soft peaks form
-add eggs, vanilla
-Stir in the flour mixture

Bake for 55 minutes or until your knife comes out clean.

Sounds good. And I can totally see myself getting the bigger chips instead of the minis to save 50 cents too.

I sweet treat and fun..
One pack of really good candy canes...
White chocolate

The fun part is whacking the candy into tiny pieces.

Melt the white chocolate stir in candy spread on wax paper cool in fridge

I tried semi sweet and milk chocolate..it isn't as good (I think).

Dawn, you can always cut a piece a waxed paper to line your baking pan and the bread will not stick to the bottom. I do this when I may layer cakes.:)

The recipe DOES look good! mmmmmmmmmmmm

note about the chips: You can always put them in a chopper/processor before adding them to your mix:)
