Pumpkin Bread Pudding
This Pumpkin Bread Pudding is rich and delicious. It is made with croissants which creates a dish that melts in your mouth in delicious flaky layers. It has a wonderful pumpkin fall flavor and is topped with a delicious caramel sauce.
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE recipes on the blog is the BEST EVER Croissant Bread Pudding. It is a crowd pleaser and and absolute stunning recipe. Everyone who tries it is RAVES about it. I decided it was time for a fall remix on the recipe and this new recipe is a HUGE HIT!
After eating croissant bread pudding I can’t imagine using any other bread. The croissant brings flaky layers and an absolute delicious texture to the recipe. With pumpkin in the milk/egg mixture, it brings fall to life in each and every bite. The Brown Sugar Syrup is the perfect finishing touch and really ties the recipe together.

After reading some of the comments on the original recipe it appears that quite a few of your readers are confusing croissants and crescent rolls.
