Caramel Bread Pudding

I made this dessert for a dinner party I hosted a couple of weeks back.  I love love love bread pudding and this one was a must try!! I got the recipe the magazine Fine Cooking and it turned out really good.  Just one note....watch the caramel making process.  At first mine turned dark amber and and started to harden, thus I had to redo it.  I literally took my eyes off it for 15 seconds and ruined the first batch, but the second one was successful. With a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and some caramel sauce and this was a delicious dessert.
