Oh, this was fabulous! I used a mix of potato and white hot dog buns, because I was tired of them falling on my head every time I opened the bread cabinet (just happened to have 7 cups plus 3 buns extra, which went back into the cabinet). I didn't have any white chocolate chips on hand, but I did have a hunk of Callebaut white chocolate in the pantry, so I went upscale and chopped 12 oz of that. Kinda made me giggle, too -- hot dog buns and gourmet white chocolate, go figure! Tasted great, though! I added the full amount of the spices because I never think cinnamon and nutmeg are optional lol! My finished pudding was a bit squishy in the center, but I think that's just because I used such soft bread. I tried a piece while still warm from the oven (good, but really squishy), then cold the next day (chewy), then slightly warmed the next day. They all tasted good, but I think my favorite was the next day, slightly warmed. I enjoyed the dried blueberries more than I was expecting, too(I used the full 1 cup). I thought they would be kinda hard in the soft pudding, but they were nice and slightly chewy. My only complaint is that the berries weren't as well-distributed as I would've liked, but that might not have been an issue if I had used sturdier bread. I would definitely make this again. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 09
