Dee's Delicious Pina Colada Bread Pudding image

I grew up eating bread pudding that I never liked. It always had way too much bread and never enough custard in my opinion. My parents way of not wasting stale bread. YUK! This recipe doesn't use stale bread, but rather stale criossants. It is a nice custardy bread pudding with pineapple, coconut, & rum. ** This is a variation...
