Overnight berry breakfast bake
Last week, I got a killer cold and am just coming out of it so sorry about the silence. Hopefully that will be my last one of the winter season, haha. I made this overnight berry breakfast bake from a bountiful kitchen and everyone loved it! I love the caramel syrup over the top and the crispy top of the baked croissant. I only had half of the karo syrup so i halved the syrup recipe and it was more than enough for us.
