Cinnamon Bread

Like cinnamon rolls? Then this bread is a no-brainer! Tastes super yummy, makes your house smell fabulous, and can be eaten at for a few days (if it lasts that long!). I had to look at a few stores to find the cinnamon chips. They are by Hershey's, and I found them at Albertson's. Worth the hunt...let me tell ya!



Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup cinnamon chips
Cinnamon sugar mix, for topping

In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, stir together the milk, butter, and egg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth. Cover and let mixture rest at room temperature for 1 hour, then stir in the baking powder and cinnamon chips.

Set oven at 350.

Spoon the batter into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon sugar.

Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven, let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely. Wait until bread cools to slice.

Heaven in a pan

Actually, these are called Chocolate-peanut butter mallow bars. But that's a mouthful. And they really are heaven in a pan!! They are even better than brownies. Try them.



Ingredients:

1 pkg devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup cold milk, divided
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 7oz jar Jet-Puffed marshmallow creme
1/2 cup planters salted peanuts
4-6 squares Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Heat oven to 350. Mix dry cake mix, butter and 1/3 cup milk until blended. Press 2/3 onto bottom of a 9/13 pan. Bake 12-14 minutes until almost set. Cool for 3 min. Mix peanut butter and remaining milk. Spread onto cake. Top with spoonfuls of marshmallow creme and remaining cake mixture. Sprinkle with nuts and chocolate; pres gently into cake mixture to make a flat surface.
Bake 18 min. Cool before cutting into bars.
