Eggnog Donut Bread Pudding
Do you know what could make donut bread pudding any better? Eggnog! I've always been a huge fan of eggnog. I think it's definitely a flavor that you can either love or hate.
Every year we faithfully buy some eggnog. Normally everyone has a tiny glass. Not this girl. I like to get my fill of it. I go for seconds and thirds. This year I saw some southern comfort eggnog that I have my eye on. Sometime before Christmas eve, some of that liqueur goodness will be coming home with me.

If I wasn't feeding this delicious eggnog donut bread pudding to children, you can bet your buns I would have put a healthy dose of alcohol in this. You know, to keep your warm and cozy. However, kiddies were involved. I'm okay with that, this recipe came out fantastic!
