Whenever I feel that my husband is a bit stressed, I always make this sweet caramel French toast for breakfast the next day just to boost his energy level. But this is also good for snacks. I once served this to friends who visited in the afternoon. They’re in love with this! It’s perfect with a cup of tea or a cup of coffee.

Quick Tip: This recipe suggests using a mini slow cooker. However, you can also use a regular slow cooker and press the bread into the bottom, just note that cooking time may decrease slightly due to the additional air flow in the slow cooker.
