*NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY*

• This dessert is perfect for excess Croissants you may have, Keep them in the fridge/freezer, bring back to room temperature and use as stated in recipe.
• You may add more Sultanas, Flaked Almonds and Pistachios, to your liking.
•  I Use The Tin Foil onto a Baking Sheet, to help catch any spills that may occur from the gently bubbling liquid while in the oven, “No Need to cry over Spilled Milk ;-)”
