Steps:
- Make the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Toss the croissants with the melted butter on a baking sheet. Arrange in a single layer and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Arrange about half of the croissants in the prepared baking dish. Top with about two-thirds of the milk chocolate, then add the remaining croissants. Pour the egg mixture over the croissants, pressing gently so the croissants are submerged.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, top with the remaining milk chocolate and bake until the bread pudding is puffed, golden brown and set, 15 to 20 more minutes. Let sit 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring the heavy cream, butter, sugar, corn syrup and vanilla to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the bittersweet chocolate and whisk until smooth. Serve the bread pudding with the chocolate sauce.

Steps:
- 1.Scatter the bread cubes in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Set aside. 2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine the cream, milk, and 1½ cups sugar. Cut the piece of vanilla bean in half lengthwise, and scrape the tiny beans into the cream mixture. (Discard the scraped bean pod or add it to granulated or powdered sugar to make vanilla sugar.) 3. Bring the cream mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the sugar dissolves, then whisking occasionally. 4. Add the chocolate chips and continue cooking until the chocolate is melted, about two minutes more, whisking frequently and being sure to scrape the pan bottom clean as you whisk. Remove from heat. 5. In a large mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until frothy. Very slowly add the chocolate mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly so the eggs don't curdle. Pour this custard mixture over the bread. Let the custard sit until cool enough for you to put your hands in it, about 10 minutes. 6. Once the custard is cool enough, toss the bread cubes with your hands, squeezing the cubes in the liquid to make sure all are well saturated. Cover and refrigerate overnight. About three hours before baking the pudding, remove the pan of pudding from the refrigerator, and evenly sprinkle the top with ¼ cup sugar. Let the pudding sit at room temperature for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300°F. 7. Once the pudding has sat 45 minutes, seal the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake the pudding until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean and the pudding looks solidified with no puddles of liquid on the surface, about two hours. Once done, it will also start developing a few small, shallow cracks on top and there will be an irresistible smell of chocolate emanating from the oven. 8. Remove the pudding from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature before serving.
SCRIPPS COLLEGE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING
I missed this bread pudding so much when I left college - famous in my dining hall. Scripps just posted the recipe much to my delight! So good my college friends actually request this for their birthday. I especially love this with challah. Note this originally had self saucing in the title, but that was a mistake. This pudding is absolutely delicious, but not self saucing! Enjoy :)

Steps:
- Place chopped bread, chocolates in bowl. In another bowl add eggs and mix well. Add 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla, 1 cup whipping cream and milk. Mix until well blended. Pour over bread mixture and let stand 1 hour to overnight. The longer you leave to soak before baking, the creamier the pudding will be.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour mixture into a well greased pan, pour remaining cream on top and then sprinkle with the 2 tbl sugar. Bake for 45 minutes or until custard is set and its lightly browned and bubbly.
Tips:
- Use stale bread for a richer, more flavorful bread pudding. Fresh bread will absorb too much of the custard, making the pudding soggy.
- Use a variety of chocolate chips for a more complex flavor. Semisweet, bittersweet, and dark chocolate chips all work well in this recipe.
- Add a splash of espresso or coffee to the custard for a mocha flavor.
- Top the bread pudding with whipped cream, ice cream, or a chocolate sauce before serving.
- Make sure to let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving, so that it has a chance to set.
Conclusion:
This double chocolate bread pudding is a rich, decadent, and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends, and it is also a great way to use up stale bread.
