PEANUT BUTTER SURPRISE LOAVES

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4teaspoon salt
2 eggs
30 (one-inch) chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candies, unwrapped

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease bottoms only of 3 small aluminum-foil loaf pans (5 3/4x3 1/4x2 inches) with shortening.

Mix together all ingredients except candies; beat with spoon 30 seconds. Divide batter evenly among pans.

Place 5 candies randomly on batter in each pan, pushing candies halfway into batter. Coarsely chop remaining 15 candies; sprinkle over batter in each pan.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pans, about 2 hours. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

Makes 3 small loaves, 8 slices each
