CHOCOLATE CHIP COFFEE RING

Chocolate Chip Coffee Ring image

Meet the Cook: When I was a girl, my mother served this only once a year - for Christmas-morning brunch. But it could easily be served as dessert besides or as a snack packed in a lunch. It travels very well. Sometimes when I bake this just for my husband and me, I'll prepare two bread pans' worth and freeze one. -Laura Hertel, Columbia, Missouri
