jQuery escaping quotes

I'm trying to escape quotes in the text I need to change.

The problem is that if I have quotes in #stuff (" or ' in CHANGE1 or CHANGE2) it keeps failing my whole request. Otherwise if I escape it with escapeQuotes() it won't find " in my original text.

(function($) {
  $.fn.escapeQuotes = function() {
    return this.html().replace(/"/g, '"');
  }
})(jQuery);

$("#stuff").each(function() {
    $(this).html($(this).html().replace("CHANGE1", "CHANGE2")).escapeQuotes(); 
});

Let's say I have this in #stuff:

    <div id="stuff">
I'm trying to escape this. ALSO I'D LIKE TO ESCAPE THIS: ".
</div>
