Chocolate Bread Pudding

Bread pudding dates back centuries.  It was created originally to make something delicious out of stale bread so as not to waste food.  Today bread pudding is still a popular dish but we use fresh ingredients, such as gourmet breads and things like nuts & chocolate to make this a dessert to remember!
