Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

  • 4 cups pound cake chunks

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup white sugar, divided

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup chopped Halloween candy

Directions

  1. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish. Place pound cake chunks in the prepared baking dish and set aside.

  2. Beat eggs and 3/4 cup sugar together in a bowl until frothy. Add milk, heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and salt. Continue beating 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in chopped candy, breaking up any clumps that may form. Pour egg mixture over pound cake in the baking pan; press cake into the mixture to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and set, about 1 hour. Let bread pudding cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
