French Toast (the kind that will kill you)

1 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup plus 2T light corn syrup
10 slices French bread (I prefer Italian bread)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups milk or half and half
1 T vanilla extract
1/4 t salt
3 T sugar
1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/4 c butter or margarine melted

Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until mixture is bubbly. Pour syrup mixture evenly into a lightly greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Arrange bread slices over syrup.
Combine eggs and next 3 ingredients, stir well. Gradually pour mixture over bread slices. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
Combine 3 T sugar and cinnamon, stir well. Sprinkle evenly over soaked bread. Drizzle 1/4 c melted butter over bread. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
