Not your Grandma's bread pudding! Totally awesome and decadent! I used King's Hawaiian bread and didn't dry it out in advance. The sauce is also delicious. I used Ryan's Irish cream, much more economical than Bailey's considering it's being used in a recipe. I'm giving this 5 stars, but they're not showing up on my review... fyi.

This is delicious!! I didn't actually make my own, but, I enjoyed a slice from the creator of this recipe. It's very, very good, and i'm not a big fan of bread-pudding. MMmmm good!
