Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Whiskey Sauce

Everyone’s a little bit Irish on St. Patty’s Day, right? I am proud to be part Irish, but if I wasn’t, I’d fib just a little if it meant I could enjoy more of this Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Whiskey Sauce. St. Patty’s Day isn’t all about corned beef and Irish whiskey, but I’m always grateful for any excuse to make this dessert.
