Directions
Beat all ingredients except gumdrops and nut in a large mixer bowl on low speed for 15 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in gumdrops and nuts.
Pour into a 9x5 inch loaf pan that has been greased on the bottom only. Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Loosen sides of loaf from the pan. Remove bread from the pan and cool completely on wire rack.
For best results:
Wrap and refrigerate at least 24 hours before slicing. Refrigerate no longer than 1 week.
Note:
The bread can be also made in a bread machine.
