Winter Desserts from the Pantry

These sweet treats make the most of your pantry ingredients. Turn a bag of rice or day-old bread into a decadent dessert.

Stale bread is your best bet to absorb the eggs, milk and sugar in a bread pudding.

Pour a rich mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa and cinnamon over stale bread, then top with chocolate chips. The dessert will bake until it's firm on the outside but gooey and moist on the inside.

Long-grain rice isn't just for savory dishes; use it to make an easy rice pudding.
