These were good! After dipping the toasted cubes into the butter mix, I then put them back in the toaster oven to crisp them up a bit. Made for PAC Spring 2009.

Super yummy! Made these with day old bread that I had made in my bread machine. Toasted them in my oven...took a little longer than called for (about 15-20 min) to get them good and hard. I guess it depends on the type of bread you use. Very good and easy! Great way to use up bread machine made bread...

Wow! I loved these croutons! We enjoyed these on grilled chicken salad. I used about 8 slices of bread and still had plenty of the butter mixture. Thanks so much!
