Gumdrop Bread on Gumdrop Day

Were you aware that February 15 is the national holiday for the gumdrop? Me either until I was looking through some food trivia facts and stumbled onto the fact about gumdrops. Well to celebrate this day I thought it would be fun to honor the gumdrop with a recipe based around the gumdrom so here is a great recipe for gumdrop bread from Betty Crocker

3 teaspoons baking powder
