While G is up to her forehead in flour trying to perfect the Easter Bread recipe, I am sitting back and taking the easy route - my mission is to try out the Gumdrop Bread Recipe from the same cookbook. Yes - gumdrop bread -- candy and bread - sounds intriguing and raises some questions - like why gumdrops? Was it to use up the remaining stale gumdrops that sit around forever at the bottom of the candy dish? Or to add some color to the Holiday table? Hard to tell -- after some research on my part - it seems like this was a popular bread made in the late 1940's, maybe for the kid's table at family gatherings. Who knows but it sounded fun and easy enough to make. So here goes --

REVIEW: Thumbs Down!!!!
Not a good tasting bread -- the flavor is strange -- and the fact that the gumdrops did not melt or change in color or texture after being in the oven for 1 hour is a bit disconcerning. But it was fun to make - sort of a science experiment.
