I remember my mom making this, when I was a little girl, however, I haven't got her recipe. I just like to "wing-it" and make it my way with what I have. Today, I used some fresh eggs that a friend gave us recently; they were blue eggs which I think come from Arauncana chickens.

How To Make chocolate bread pudding-bakintime

    PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES. ASSEMBLE PUDDING BY LAYERING BREAD, THEN POUR MIXTURE OVER AND PAT DOWN AND LET REST A FEW MINUTES TO SOAK UP THE CHOCOLATE.
  • 2
    DOT THE TOP WITH SMALL PIECES OF THE BUTTER AND SPRINKLE SUGAR OVER THE TOP. BAKE PUDDING FOR 45 MINUTES UNCOVERED.
  • 3
    REMOVE AND LET COOL ABOUT TEN MINUTES, BEFORE SERVING IF YOU LIKE IT VERY WARM. TOP IT WITH EITHER WHIPPED CREAM, VANILLA ICE CREAM OR A SAUCE OF YOUR CHOICE. I THOUGHT OF KAHLUA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE WITH ICE CREAM! I ATE MINE PLAIN AND LOVED IT.
