Salted Caramel Croissant Bread Pudding


             Bread Pudding is one of those things in life that I can never pass on...Chances
         are that if I go to a restaurant and it's on the menu. I'm totally ordering it. I guess it's
              just the CARB lover in me. I'll take it any way I can get it. This particular bread
                      pudding speaks to me...caramel, salted, croissants...need I say more?

                                                   Salted Caramel Croissant Bread Pudding

                               6 day old croissants
                               1 cup hot water
                               1 1/2 cups brown sugar
                               4 eggs, beaten
                               1 cup of milk
                               1 cup of half and half
                               1/2 cup of sugar
                               1 teaspoon vanilla
                               1 teaspoon cinnamon
                               1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

                      1) Grease a 2 qt baking dish
                      2) Combine hot water and brown sugar, pour over croissants
                      3) Combine remaining ingredients and pour over croissants
                      4) Bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes.
                      5) Serve with vanilla ice cream

                      Note - Before baking I sprinkle with a little brown sugar and salt.

    Okay, this looks so delicious. That's it I'm making it this weekend for our church Halloween night. I was thinking of something and this is it!!!!! Don't you think that would be perfect on a chilly night, warm bread pudding-salted caramel no less. Thank you my dear for your efforts, they are always appreciated. Love,
