3/4 t vanilla extract

1/4 t almond extract

Spray a 13x9" baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.

Stir brown sugar, butter, peanut butter and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, til smooth and thickened. Pour peanut butter mixture into baking dish. Place bread slices over mixture, trimming to fit.

Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, vanilla and almond extracts in a medium bowl. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sounds awesome and really fattening. I wish you posted this last week before I went on my Hungry Girl plan (I created it by myself - Breakfast and Lunch are Hungry Girl recipes and dinner is a somewhat low fat recipe or really low fat depending on mood).
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 11:40am UTC
LOL!

The Hungry Girl plan sounds like a good one.
Beth J. Jan 10, 2012, 9:13pm UTC
That sounds delicious
Nora D. Jan 10, 2012, 9:15pm UTC
OMG, that sounds absolutely fabulous!!! Now, you're making me hungry.......generally, I don't regularly eat breakfast....I know I should but I sleep in late, then always am rushing around......I'm trying to change things around and, if nothing else, I'm going to make sure I have "pure" juice and maple sugar flavored instant oatmeal for breakfast.....I do feel better during the day if I take time to eat breakfast!!!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 11:40am UTC
I agree, I always feel better if I eat a little something for breakfast.
Heather M. Jan 10, 2012, 9:18pm UTC
This would probably be great using chocolate peanut butter.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 11:39am UTC
What a great idea!
Vj McMullan Jan 10, 2012, 9:22pm UTC

I had Cheerios and bananas, Donald had a ham and cheese sandwich in his hand walking out the door, they were about to take my favorite tree down.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 3:53pm UTC
Both sound good!

How come they have to take the tree down?
Donald M. Jan 11, 2012, 3:10pm UTC
I really don't like Peanut Butter,
Truth Always Jan 11, 2012, 3:15pm UTC
It sounds so good... with a big glass of cold milk... yummy... The strawberries up above in comment sounds good too...
ʚϊɞ Carol ʚϊɞ Jan 11, 2012, 3:19pm UTC
Saved this one to use real soon! Where is the caramel?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 3:54pm UTC
The brown sugar caramelizes.
ʚϊɞ Carol ʚϊɞ Jan 11, 2012, 3:57pm UTC
Well.. duh! ;)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 3:58pm UTC
LOL!
Ian L Jan 11, 2012, 4:33pm UTC
If this is "what's for breakfast" the only question I have is what's for desert?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 7:19pm UTC
Mom made a rhubarb cherry coffee cake :)
Ian L Jan 11, 2012, 7:27pm UTC
Well then, I guess I am going to have to have a word with your mother...

... after we discuss this over breakfast, of course. ;)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 12, 2012, 11:08am UTC
LOL!
Rose Hill Jan 11, 2012, 5:50pm UTC
Sounds interesting. I like anything caramel, sweet tooth, I admit. I'm not sure I can handle that for breakfast - diabetic coma comes to mind:)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 11, 2012, 7:19pm UTC
I paired it with a tall glass of milk :)
Matthew A. Jan 11, 2012, 7:20pm UTC
Tasty!
Connie C. Jan 12, 2012, 12:47am UTC
That would be too sweet for me for breakfast. I am more into things like fresh fruit, smoothies and such for breakfast.
looks good though
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 12, 2012, 11:08am UTC
I need to eat more fruit...
Heather Reid Jan 12, 2012, 1:21pm UTC
Now, THAT sounds yummy!!! I had a bowl of cheerios and a "cutie" mandarin.
Lillith (it's a secret!) Jan 15, 2012, 2:46pm UTC
sounds delicious! :)
Karen G. Jan 17, 2012, 10:39am UTC
gonna make this today, but my sugar got burnt
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jan 17, 2012, 12:12pm UTC
Oh no!
