1 (11-ounce) bag Kraft Caramel Bits or 1 (14-ounce) bag Kraft Traditional Caramels, divided*
1 quart milk (4 cups)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and shredded (1 cup)
6 to 7 cups 1-inch cubes stale bread**
1 / 2 cup heavy cream
Recipe
If using the traditional caramels, unwrap them. Divide them in half. Set one half aside and, working with the other half, use a scissors to cut each piece into eight sections. Place in a bowl. Or, if using bits, place 5 ounces (1 cup) bits in the bowl.
Add the milk, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, pie spice, raisins, walnuts and apples. Stir to combine. Add the bread and stir until all the bread is well coated with liquid. Let sit 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 1 1/4 hours until the top is golden.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining caramel bits or unwrapped traditional caramels with the heavy cream in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Serve bread pudding with caramel sauce. Pudding can be served warm, chilled or at room temperature. Sauce is best served warm. Makes 21 servings pudding; 1 cup sauce.

*Kraft Caramel Bits in an 11-ounce bag tend to be stocked in supermarkets beginning in October and running through December when they are in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. The rest of the year you can substitute a 14-ounce bag of Kraft Traditional Caramels found in the candy aisle of your supermarket.
**We used a 16-ounce loaf of Pepperidge Farm Original White Bread that we cut into cubes and let sit on the counter overnight to become stale.
