8 tablespoons butter, divided
8 large croissants, halved
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup maple syrup

So Rich...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and French toast is my favorite breakfast item, so i had to try this recipe. While... the rum was a little much for me, the rest of the recipe was delicious. so sweet, and rich, and a pretty easy recipe to make. I would recommend this to any breakfast lover (but never a diabetic, its that sweet). Read more

Best French Toast!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This tastes sooo goood! I added 2 Tablespoons of butter to tone down the sweetness of the syrup as other reviewers have... mentioned. Next time I make this dish, I will also add a bit more butter or less brown sugar as I thought the syrup was still a little too sweet. Also, since I love bananas I will add more bananas next time too, but that is just a personal preference. Read more

This is soooo good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did make some changes with this. I left out the dark syrup and I also added some maple flavoring instead of the rum. I... finely chopped my pecans and only added 2 chopped bananas. The next time I will leave out the bananas altogether. I loved the pecan syrup. The french toast was awsome. This is the first time for me to make this and I will make it again and again. Thank you so much Paula once again. TennieRead more
