    Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Sauce

    Slow Cooker Bread Pudding drizzled with Salted Caramel Sauce in white bowl on polka dot napkinI was super tired the other night and took the rare occasion to plant myself on the couch while the kids were outside playing. Rare that I get to sit on the couch, that is.... not so rare that I'm super tired. Anyway, I was flipping through the channels and found a Bobby Flay Throwdown on the Cooking Channel. The subject? Bread Pudding. Bread Pudding? I'd never given it much thought and I'm pretty sure I'd never had it before. But they were making bread pudding with chocolate. And a bread pudding with bacon?! I started dreaming of all the possibilities.

    Slow Cooker Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Sauce in white bowl on polka dot napkin with fork in backgroundI thought about fruit, chocolate, and whipped cream but then it finally occurred to me! Keep it simple. We all need a simple, quick dessert that we can throw in the slow cooker any night of the week for company or just for a treat. And this was so simple to make! Just a few quick ingredients tossed together and let the crockpot do it's thing while you go do something more fun!

    Top side view of Slow Cooker Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Sauce in white bowl on polka dot napkinAnd the other reason to keep it simple? So that this amazing Salted Caramel Sauce can be the star of the show! I've searched and tried a few different Salted Caramel Sauce recipes, but this one by Brown Eyed Baker came out perfect! I just made half a recipe because I don't trust myself with anything salted caramel but if you want to be generous with each serving I'd make the whole recipe. It sounds complicated but the instructions were perfect and it didn't end up taking long at all.

    I should have made the whole thing. You know, so other people could have had some. Because I went in for a bite and ended up licking the jar clean. Oops 🙂

    Slow Cooker Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel SauceI should also mention that bread pudding is usually made with slightly stale bread but since mine was fresh and I didn't want to wait I toasted it for about 3 minutes in the oven. I'm going to be making this one again soon!

      I usually make Copy cat Famous Dave's Bread Pudding. I never have leftovers to bring home. I decided to make this because our weather is in the ninety's and I could cook it on the patio. My family didn't care for it and I threw over half away.

      I haven't made bread and butter pudding since I was in school! It's a very British dish and a way to use up left overs during war times.

      I've never tried it in a slow cooker but it sounds so much easier. I'll have do one with lemon curd spread over the bread and orange peel and dried fruit between the layers just like my mum did when I was growing up.

      I'm so excited! I might have to do one today. I've also never made one with gluten free bread so that will be interesting. 🙂

      I can't find the "salted caramel sauce". Will you help, please? Looks sinful.

      I substituted a quarter cup of Baileys for some of the milk. It was very popular with my gourmet lunch club and is now my signature dessert.

      Really, I know you don't have control over advertisers on your site, but had to laugh at trying Swanson Chicken broth in this recipe! I'm going to save this, minus the chicken broth, it sounds delish!
