In reply to Tracey. It's still a little chilly in my apartment when it gets down to below freezing, because I set it at around 70, but it still doesn't have to kick on much to stay there. Makes up for the killer electricity bills I have during the summer heat.

What a great idea to use the candy bars in the bread! And I bet the caramel apple milky way bars made these even better!

Oh I SO miss the days of apartment living where we didn’t have to turn our heat on much either thanks to the neighbors and living on the 5th floor. It’s routinely 10+ degrees colder in my house these days because I’m too cheap to crank up the heat. Brrr!! And I totally bake to heat things up occasionally :) Anyway, love your take on this bread – it sounds so amazingly decadent!

I still haven’t tried those caramel apple milky ways Erin! You are tempting me to run out the door to the nearest target and buy a huge bag of them. I love the idea of candy bars in a quick bread! I want and would eat this for breakfast, snack, and dessert. no question!

In reply to Hope Cox. Aww you are too kind! Funny thing is, I almost didn't even post this bread recipe. And as for having the time to write so many posts, I do a lot of cooking and baking on the weekends. Especially the recipes that require more time than I have to spare on a weekday. Plus I honestly don't have much of a life outside of graduate school. I work in the lab from about 7:30am-5pm, go to the gym right after for an hour, come home to cook (pictures), eat, and clean anything needing attention. Relax for an hour-ish, sleep and repeat.

In reply to Elaine @ Cooking to Perfection.

Yes, I agree, Elaine! Apple butter is a lovely addition to cakes, quick breads and muffins. I’ve made lots of apple butter this year and have used it to replace fat (butter or oil) in recipes. The moistness and flavor are much more delicious than fat sometimes. One of my favorite things my mom used to make when I was little was applesauce cakes because of the moistness. I haven’t tried to make it myself but I want to soon!

My recipe for apple butter is here @ http://ohmyfoodness.wordpress.com/2012/07/17/apple-recipes/
It’s adapted from allrecipes.com

Haha, Erin, I think this is your best post yet. I definitely laughed about you tricking us to read your post! ;-P

I also smiled because I too use the same method of heating my house…using the oven. I need to put a curtain on the kitchen window, though because it doesn’t stay warm for long as the window is so drafty this time of year.

Aaand I also took my basil plant inside! It began wilting sadly and so I felt obliged to let it warm up in my very well insulated sunroom. I am peeking at it now through a window to the sunroom and it looks happy with the sun shining gracefully on it.

Before I sign off, I must ask: how do you have time to write so many posts? It sometimes takes me DAYS to write a post (I am also a newbie food blogger…). Plus, with school, housework, gardening, being a wife….and mostly because of bad lighting in my kitchen I don’t have the time or motivation to take pictures and document every single thing I do. Ah, and I experiment a lot which is sometimes hard to record….
