Bread Pudding

  • 4 cups soft bread cubes (4 to 5 slices bread)
  • 1/2 cup coarsely broken peanut brittle
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

Hot Buttered Rum Sauce

  • 1/4 cup rum or 3 tablespoons water plus 2 teaspoons rum extract
  • Whipped cream, if desired

Steps

    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix all sauce ingredients. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Serve warm bread pudding with warm sauce and whipped cream. Store sauce covered in refrigerator up to 1 week. Sauce may separate during storage; stir before serving.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    •Warm their hearts with this homey dessert. Instead of making the rum sauce, drizzle purchased chocolate syrup over warm pudding, and sprinkle with extra crushed peanut brittle. •Pour on the decadence! This wonderful rum sauce is also delicious served on ice cream or drizzled over pound cake. Stir in toasted pecans or chopped toffee bits for a crunchy topping.
