Re: (...)
The Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding went over with a bang! You couldn't eat a very big piece since it was sooooo sweet and rich. My recommendation would be that the donuts themselves would be plenty of sweetness without the sweetened condensed milk. Next time I might add a third egg and let it go at that. The Butter Rum Sauce was just icing on the cake so to speak...it would have been great without it. The recipe calls for two 4.5 oz cans of fruit cocktail...I couldn't find those at 3 different stores, they come in 15 oz cans and I used one of those. It wasn't too wet with the extra syrup and fruit. If I use the Butter Rum Sauce at all next time, I will only make half a recipe...all together, I'd say it was just too much sugar.

Sounds like a teenager's video game party delight! Butter rum flavoring, or really rum, I guess that's an important question when dealing with the youngsters.
Fun trying out something new on a receptive audience, isn't it? Thanks for the review.

Yes, thanks Billy. I've been waiting for your review because I was thinking of making that for a family party this weekend, but was also thinking of using less sugar to make it.

I used Myers's Rum for this because of it's strong flavor. The recipe said "rum to taste" and every recipe I looked at called for 2 or 3 tablespoons. Even with that much it was barely detectable, perhaps rum flavoring would be better.

"perhaps rum flavoring would be better. " - better than the real stuff??????? Naw, couldn't be, that would be sacrelege (sp?).

Well, probably! But it might increase the rum flavor
