Sweet Potato Bread

Today was the first big snow of the year and it wreaked havoc on the roads.  I was planning on going into the city for my last midwife appointment but we stayed home instead.  Zoe and I decided to do some baking today and we made this delicious loaf.  I added some white chocolate and skor bits and I think it made it even better.  This loaf is also surprisingly light.  Mmmm....I am going to go and have another slice.
