I used cinnamon raisin bread - it was a huge hit!

Really tasty, I got a lot of good reviews when I made this! Only concern: the top was a bit dry. I think next time I will increase slightly the liquids in this.

Easy to do but I found it a little lacking on taste. It does need some jam or berries added in my opinion. With a little tweeking this could be a great recipe!!

I made this for Christmas breakfast for my parents and my family. I figured the kids would LOVE it since they will eat cream cheese right out of the wrapper; however, they were not that excited about it. The adults really liked it though. Next time I make it, I think I might add some fruit preserves to the middle layer with the cream cheese. See if that gets the kiddies attention...
