"I love crockpot cooking & bread pudding, so finding this recipe so long ago that I cannot recall the source seemed like fate to me. It was scribbled on a piece of paper, but didn't include times. So I estimated the prep time since the crock pot cook time was already included in the directions. Sadly, I'll probably never be able to make it here in Iceland for lack of the pina colada drink mix I've never seen here. This clearly works best for an adult special occasion or dinner party. Enjoy!"

Very good bread pudding! I used some Challah rolls for the bread, and I used golden raisins. I did mess up and initially forgot to add the eggs to the liquid mix, and didn't realize it until after I poured the last of the liquid over the assembled pudding. I beat the eggs separately, poured them over everything, stirred it and hoped for the best. It worked fine, but since I used a more delicate bread than called for in the recipe, I really didn't have much in the way of bread chunks left after stirring the eggs in. Didn't affect the taste of it, so no big deal for us. I actually brought my slow cooker to work and made this on my desk last night, haha (made the office area smell delicious!). I cut mine into 8 wedges, but I'm pretty sure you could get away with slicing it for 9 or 10 servings if you needed to, since the 8 wedges were pretty hearty servings. Loved the coconut drizzle on this, too, and was contemplating trying it with some leftover cherry juice on top as well (bet it would be yummy!). Thanks for posting, twissis!
