Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce

This recipe for Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding came about thanks to a snowstorm.   One day, back when my husband worked in food service, a snow storm hit the area. Because of that storm, most of that day’s cinnamon rolls went unsold because very few customers came in for breakfast.

In food service, nothing goes to waste if at all possible, so the next morning, Jack made bread pudding using the day-old cinnamon rolls.  This bread pudding became such a hit with his customers he was begged to prepare it from that day forward as a regular menu offering – which of course, he did.
