Notes
- Use a good quality sweet bread as your base. I found a soft brioche bread, that I cubed for today’s casserole. Cinnamon Swirl (Raisin) bread would also make a great option, as would a Hawaiian bread.
- I topped the casserole with frozen mixed berries. No need to thaw them. You can also use 2 cups of fresh berries, and variety.
- It’s easiest to use your hands when combining the sugared walnut mixture. You want to make sure there are no loose crumbs as it all comes together to coat the walnuts completely.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar instead of maple syrup. The sugar makes a beautiful presentation as well!
- Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator. Warm in microwave.
