Has any one got a good fruit cake recipe made from one of the boxed bread mixes ... like date/nut bread. etc.?

I had a really good one using dried fruit instead of the glaceed fruit. Different and very good with coffee or tea. All my recipes were lost in my last move. Any help will be appreciated.Has any one got a good fruit cake recipe made from one of the boxed bread mixes ... like date/nut bread. etc.?

I do this every year, and give away the loaves. Get a mix for regular white bread, and after mixing it up, dump in:


maraschino cherries


m%26amp;ms


chocolate kisses (yes, the big ones)


raisins


dried dates (not chopped up)


Almost anything else I think of.





When you slice the bread there is always a fun surprise!
