I didn't want it to be too sweet so I omitted the sugar. It was very good that way. We ate it as breakfast this morning (it was made yesterday evening). Maybe more Frangelico would be better. I couldn't detect the taste of it. I used plain croissant and chocolate chips. I used 15% thick cream. Thanks Bluemoon. Made for Please Review My Recipe.

I can't believe how easy a recipe this is compared to the incredible taste this bread pudding provides! I made as directed, only increasing the amount of Frangelico by just a bit. I did add the chocolate chips as I was unble to find chocolate croissants. As good as this recipe is on it's own, I intensified the flavor by serving Kittencal's Delicious Butter-Pecan Sauce recipe #78647 and sent this dessert absolutely over-the-top!! What an awesome combination : ) I highly recommend this for any occassion. Bluemoon Downunder, I thank you!!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
