I never have any luck locating anything on google. But I have been searching all of the food sites, ( food network,kraft foods,etc ) and everyone has bread pudding with everything but what I am looking. I will try this recipe. Is there a taste difference between half & half and whole milk?

Definitely, the more cream in the milk the richer the pudding. For an extra special creamy texture and taste I sometimes substitute EGGNOG for the milk.

Low fat and skim will work but the texture will not be as rich.

Now I'm craving bread pudding - thanks:yum:

Is there a taste difference between half & half and whole milk?

Yes, half and half is MUCH richer tasting and considerably thicker in texture.
