Did you run up the credit card bill?
Make Hubs this decadent, sinfully rich Chocolate Bread Pudding!! You know what they say, ‘Ask forgiveness not permission!’

Layers of bread, custard and chocolate make for the perfect comfort food. Not overly sweet, Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding has more of a cake-like texture than a moist, pudding-like consistancy. I formulated this recipe just for the Hubs since I may, or may not, have ran the credit card up…
Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding
- This is a great way to use day old bread. Crusty and dry bread will soak up the wonderful custard better.
- I suggest using a dark chocolate for this recipe, but any chocolate will do. I used a dark bar, but you can also you chocolate chips.
- Allow at least 10 minutes for the bread to sit and soak in the custard.
- If you don’t like rum, a warm caramel sauce would also be tasty with this Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding.
