Wonderful recipe - will definetly make again. The pudding was perfect consistency - thick and rich. Altered the sauce recipe a bit - substituted dark rum for the bourbon and omitted the pecans. Called it "hot buttered rum sauce"

Delicious bread pudding! I didn't make the sauce, and I used only whole milk in the pudding. Turned out great, thanks for the recipe.

This is a very rich pudding. It has been a favorite of my family and friends for some time. The sauce is my favorite. I like making a big recipe so there are leftover for a couple of days.

I thought this was good, but mine did not turn out as fabulous as others. I used a bit less bread, as some talked about, but I felt the pudding was too squishy in the middle when served. It didn't have any texture, just sort of sponge-like. Next time I would prepare exactly as instructed. I also had a hard time getting all the bread and pudding to fit into a 9x13 pan, and would not try to make it all fit. Finally, I didn't feel the caramel sauce was worth the effort. Sorry, but it was no better than a jar of Dove caramel sauce, and next time I wouldn't bother with that. Overall a good recipe, and well received, but not super out of this world. Will try again though, for sure.

I have sad this same recipe for several years and recently lost it. I was excited to find it hear. It is always a favorite. The only negative is that is time consuming, but well worth it. It is great for special occassions and dinner parties.

I made this for a Cajun dinner party and it was a huge hit. Like others, I added some chocolate chips and pecans to the pudding. You do need to let the bread & custard mixture sit a while before baking, to let it really soak in. The caramel sauce was very good, but a little runny for my personal taste - I added some butter, salt, more cream and more bourbon to give it more ooomph, but next time, I'll just use another caramel sauce recipe that I like better. We just ate it at room temp and everyone loved it. Definitely will make again!

This was decadent and rich. I added chocolate chips--yum--but did think the sauce was (while cool to make) a bit too sweet. The combination of the super rich sauce and the super rich pudding was maybe just too much.

fantastic!

I made this to celebrate a coworker as she said it was her favorite dessert. I was told not to being it ever again because it was so addictive! Well worth the time!

I made this for my sister-in-law's birthday dinner in lieu of a cake. She loves bread pudding, and this one is a hit! Thank you for sharing it, Jaclyn
