Bread Pudding of any kind is my husband's favorite dessert. This is one that he loves and it is so easy to make. This is also great with a melted chocolate topping. I simply melt a package chocolate chip pieces in the microwave and drizzle over the bread pudding when it comes out of the oven. It is great either way!
