I made this for Thanksgving, and everyone LOVED it! As suggested by another reviewer, I made my own hard sauce by combining a stick of softened butter, 1 1/2c powdered sugar and 2 tbsp. brandy (I used cognac as it's what I had on hand and beat until fluffy - make sure to take the time to do this - it's completely worth it. I didn't have any maple extract, so I added maple syrup. I cubed the bread the day before, and it was a snap to put together and bake the next day.

I made this for my family 2 years ago and it's been a hit ever since. I could not find the pumpkin solid pack however, I did find the pumpkin pie mix and just ended up going with it and omitting the 2 tsp. of spice this called for. Tasting it before adding the eggs will give you an idea if you want to add it or not. I also had a hard time finding the hard sauce since it sell's out so fast during the holiday season. I made my own version of powdered sugar and milk and maple extract drizzle like I do for my cookies and that worked out fine. The sauce is not a biggie. Everyone in my family loves Bread Pudding so this is a new favorite that's now requested every Fall holiday.
