I needed a quick recipe and pulled this one up from my recipe files. To my surprise it was fantastic. I urge everyone to try it.
I'm a sugar and sweets lover and it's the kind of snacks I like. Easy to fix not that much dishwashing (just one pan) and keeps well. Try it I'm almost sure you'll like it.
These are easy to make and surprisingly yummy. When they first came out of the oven I thought they were only kind of chewy. Ten minutes later I could see why they were considered "chew" bread. If you love brown sugar you'll love these.
Very easy to make. They taste good. Excellent recipe to make when you need something quick.
i've got a bit of a sweet tooth and i was a little disappointed that these weren't sweeter. more of a bread less of a cookie bar. Very easy though and pretty good.
Bread is definitely chewy. I goofed when measuring brown sugar which comes in a 2 lb bag. Instead of using 1 pound (2 cups) I used 1 cup - really made a difference. Next time I'll use 2 cups from the 2 lb bag. NOTE: rather than cook sugar and eggs in heavy saucepan I used double boiler - no chance of burning mix if you don't stir all the time. P.S. bread is filling.
My husband and I just moved South from Ohio and I stumbled across chew bread at a local cafe/ bakery... having never heard of it before I decided to try it out and enjoyed it so much that I searched for this recipe. It was somewhat messy and a little bit too sweet but its a new Southern treat for us to enjoy.
These were easy and delicious. I made them for our Christmas party at work and my family loved them. I was shocked to see that I had some left to bring to the party.
Have been making this recipe as is for 20 plus years. It is over 100 years old. Someone always wants the recipe.
