Chocolate chips in bread maker?

Chocolate chips in bread maker?

Q : I am planning on following a recipe for a simple brioche out of my Panasonic recipe book but really want to add chocolate chips.

Is there any way I can make sure the chocolate chips don't melt?

What I you do is follow the recipe, but before you add the water I would mix the dry ingedents first add the water, then mix it up, before you knead it by hand would be when you want to add the chocolate chips.
