In Louisiana, it has been difficult to conceive of starting off the day without the smell of freshly brewed coffee and baked bread right out of the oven. Then a question came about on what to do with the leftover stale bread. The answer soon became a dessert called bread pudding or “poor man’s pudding”. Bruce’s Bread Pudding Mix is great by itself or accompanied with a bourbon sauce to make it a delightful Southern treat. In 1928, Bruce Foods was founded in New Iberia,LA where it is still headquartered today.
