Didn't like it

User: JoAnn from Lebanon, MO User Rating:
Sorry, but I did not like this at all. I did not like the pudding, it had too much apple in it, I did not really like the appearance of it nor the overall taste. It did not taste like the bread pudding I am use to. Next time I will go the longer route and make it homemade all the way. Not much difference in time.
Good Pudding, weird sauce

I made this pudding last nite, after seeing Sandra make it. The pudding tastes good. I agree with other reviewers that the sauce has a chemical like taste. I don't know if it is the dreamwhip or the ginger ale the gives the weird flavor. It doesn't taste too made if you only put a nickle size amount on the pudding. If you put too much on it would be horrible. I think a vanilla flavored topping would taste better.
delicious

EXCELLENT!!!

This was wonderful! It has great taste and texture. My husband absolutely LOVED it! The only changes I made were to add 1/4 cup sugar (we like bread pudding on the sweeter side) and added 1 tsp cinnamon because we love the spice. I didn't make the topping. I just added some cinnamon to whipped cream. However, my husband didn't even use any because he liked the pudding so much by itself! For those who had it come out mushy you probably didn't cook it long enough; that didn't have anything to do with the recipe. This is excellent!
would not make again

This turned out quite soggy and tasted fake - also there was way too much rum flavor - i suggest using half the rum flavor - or non and substitute with half vanilla flavor.

We loved this recipe. I think that adding the apple pie filling is a great addition from typical bread pudding. The cinnamon roll oatmeal also adds a great flavor. In my Sandra Lee cookbook this recipe is in the "Slow Cooker" chapter, so I initially cooked it in the crock pot, but had to transfer it to a baking dish and finish it off in the oven because it was sticking to the sides in the crock pot. It turned out great though, and I will definitely make it again. Becky, Cincinnati, Ohio

I decided to make this recipe to bring to Thanksgiving with my in-laws, and though it's easy to make, it turned out horribly. The taste and consistency were so bad, I found myself throwing it out and in tears because I had nothing to take to Thanksgiving. I followed the directions to the letter (only subbing real whipped cream for the dreamwhip), and I'm usually great with desserts, but this was a disaster. Save yourself the time and heartbreak.
Less Rum Recipe on Website not correct

I made this recipe twice. The first time the rum just overpowered the bread pudding the second time came out perfectly. Here are the measurements I used instead of ones in recipe. 1/2 tsp rum (real rum) not extract. 1/4 Cup lite raisons 1/8 cup dark brown sugar 2 cups 1/2 and 1/2 Lastly for the sauce you need two packages of topping mix or it does come out too watery. If you only have one package then use 1/4 cup ginger ale. As a side note this recipe also comes out well if you put in some rum soaked dried apricots. (only soak in rum if you like lots of rum flavor). Otherwise hydrate in water, ginger ale or milk. before cutting up and putting into recipe.
Sauce recipe is wrong!

I have not made this recipe yet, but it was on Sandra's show just today, and I noticed a misprint with the ginger ale sauce on the website (which may explain so many complaints about the sauce, I don't know). On the show Sandra used TWO packets of Dream Whip, yet the recipe on the website only calls for one. C'mon, get it together Food Network!
so easy, so yummy

I substituted egg beaters for the eggs, used skim milk and light pie filling and it still turned out fabulous! I will use less rum extract next time. Definitely a keeper.
Delicious!

After reading the previous reviews, I was a little hesitant - but I'm glad I tried it. My family all asked for seconds, and I got some for myself. I didn't use the rum extract (vanilla instead) and after hearing the problems with the icing, I bought whipped cream instead. I'm sure it would be even better with vanilla ice cream, I will definatly make this again. Worth trying!
So good! The best topping!

My family loved this bread pudding! It's so easy with the cinnamon bread and the ginger ale topping is delicious! I made twice the amount of topping for the pudding, and although we had a little to throw away, we all loved being able to eat as much of it as we wanted! Love this!
Very disappointing recipe

I have been making bread pudding for years but thought I would try a different recipe. This wasn't good and I wouldn't make it again. Most of it will be thrown out. I wish I had a dog to feed it to.

User: MARY from Sebring, FL User Rating:
The recipe, although easy, didn't have enough flavor. Needed more spices. The sauce recipe calls for just one package of Dream Whip which is not enough. I had to add both packages from the box in order to thicken the sauce. Also, took longer than 40 min. and I have an oven thermometer which is accurate and was at 350. I thought all of these recipes were checked first in the Food Network Kitchen. Mary-Sebring
Good comfort food

This was an easy bread pudding that was neither too sweet nor too heavy. The sauce was definately different, though I wouldn't say that it was better than a good scoop of vanilla ice cream would have been with it.
Yummy, but skip the sauce

I made this with a few modifications to make it kind of healthy :). For example, I used whole wheat cinnamon-raisin bread, lower sugar apple cinnamon oatmeal packets , fat-free half and half, and splenda brown sugar. You won't miss a single calorie, because it was very very good! The ginger ale/dream whip sauce was a disappointment. I refrigerated the ginger ale and my beaters, but I could never get it to thicken :(. Oh well, the recipe was great even without the sauce!
More please!

My mother stopped using Dream Whip in 1967 after my brother was born with 6 fingers on his left hand and my sister with a small vestigal tail. It's nasty, scary artificial stuff.

The bread pudding itself was great. But I had trouble getting the sauce to peak - or do anything for that matter. But I couldn't find "Dream Whip" so I just used cool whip - and that was great!

I loved this so much, I made it twice in two days. The bread pudding itself is a wonderful texture. The only addition I made was 1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice. You could of course use apple pie spice, but the pumpkin was already in my cabinet :) I made a different sauce also. Mine was 2 cups cream, 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup caramel sundae topping. Thicken with a little cornstarch if needed. Delicious!!
Won't make again

Personally I did not care for the ginger ale sauce. It came out quite watery. There are no robust flavors that come through. If you are like me, you may want to make a regular homemade version.

I made this bread pudding this morning, but made several alterations. Use half and half instead of milk, use 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp rum extract, dark brown sugar instead of light, and add a tsp of apple pie spice or cinnamon. I left the sauce out and just used plain cool whip as topping. It came out great!

My family and friends loved the bread pudding. I used cinnamon oatmeal instead of apple and I used vanilla instead of rum flavoring. I also made real whipped cream flavored with splenda and cinnamon instead of the sauce. It cooked up perfectly and tasted great. I don't know why others complained of the texture. The texture of mine was just like bread pudding should be. Make sure you use the right size pan, maybe. It is a keeper for us. Thanks!

Even with lower reviews, I had to taste this after watching her make it on the show. We LOVED it! We did add about a TBL more of cinnamon because it's one of our favorite spices. We loved it warm, but also adored it chilled the next day. We didn't make the sauce, only because we forgot to get a couple ingredients. Just sprinkled cinnamon and sugar over our cool whip topping. Again, nice comfort food.
Just OK

I thought this bread pudding SOUNDED great but it ended up just ok. The bread seemed to be really dry so we had to use extra whip cream on top. I just used Cool Whip but added some vanilla and cinnamon to it, which was very good. I will say though the dish was better as a leftover than when first out of the oven. Not a bad dish but not great either.
Delish! and easy!

Everything about this recipe appealed to me. I have never used rum extract so I bought some and 1 1/2 tsp. is WAY too much I think...it overpowers the taste and it's even hard to tastel the cinnamon. I think 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. rum extract witht the balance vanilla extract would be plenty. I would even be tempted to use only vanilla extract. I did not make the sauce, I prefer whipped cream on my bread pudding, so I can't comment on it.
