Mini bread puddings in a muffin pan. With whiskey sauce.
I feel like the first thing we need to talk about today is that sauce. I'm going to say the name of it, but I want you to be sitting down first. Ok, are you ready?
Brown sugar whiskey caramel sauce. I know. Just roll me out of here when I'm done bathing in it.
The mini bread puddings underneath the sauce are just as incredible. They have a slightly crusty top, but are incredibly moist inside. When they come out of the oven, they're super puffy and golden brown. Though, they do deflate after a few minutes, they're still just as delicious.
I couldn't decide how many of these I could eat--two or three? So, I made six. That's three for you, three for me. Or, we could do two for you, two for me and two for the dog?
Actually, I don't recommend that. Save the extras for breakfast the next day. Pudding for breakfast is just plain healthy if you ask me. And only if you ask me and not a nutritionist.
The buttery little pecans on top of these mini bread puddings are the best part (after the sauce, of course).
I love peppermint, eggnog, and all of the usual holiday flavors this time of year, but I have to say that buttered pecan is the quintessential holiday aroma for me. The smell, the taste, the guessing game of burning a few nuts to get that extra toasty flavor? Fun, right?
Check my how to video above for tips & tricks on toasting nuts!
I thought I'd let you know that you can feel free to double, triple or even quadruple this recipe if you're serving a crowd. But please mind the egg ratios: don't get lazy and add a whole egg instead of the extra egg yolk, ok? Scale up responsibly, friends!

Love these! Last time I made bread pudding it was sitting around begging me to eat it for days! This would be the perfect amount + they look so delicious!

bread pudding is the BEST, and that sauce - Oh My GOd
Sarah | Broma Bakery says
I want three! I want three! Some flavors are just meant to be together, like bourbon and buttered pecan. And caramel. Oh, just everything. They're absolutely perfect.

Orrrrr five for me, one for you....JK That would be cruel. But seriously, these look out of this world.
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
I used to hate bread pudding growing up but have developed such a love for it after making it at home with fresh ingredients! I would easily bathe in that sauce any day so sign me up for that bandwagon!
Willow @ Will Cook For Friends says
Oh, these sound WAY too good. I agree, buttery toasted pecans are a must for the holidays. (And that sauce -- that sauce! -- *swoon*.) I'm not sure the two extras would make it till breakfast the next day at our house. :)
Sarah | The Sugar Hit says
Bread pudding is my spirit animal. This looks amazing. And the pecans? Yes.
Heather || Heather's Dish says
For some reason I can't stop laughing at the "saucy on the bottom" part. It feels like there should be some kind of dirty joke in there but since the baby stole my brain I can't come up with it.
Either way, feed me. All the sauce, all the bread please!

I love bread pudding and always feel so guilty when I make a full recipe.....I just can't leave it alone. :) This way I can make a small batch and indulge myself. Ready to try this one right away. Merry Christmas!!
