**can be muffins  ***I prefer many choclate chips

I make a bunch of mini loaves and freeze them.  I usually have about 8 mini loaves of various types of sweet breads in my freezer.  I pull them out for PTA meetings, if a friend is feeling blue, thank you's, unexpected guests,  and visiting with friends.
