Dulce de Leche Chocolate Bread Pudding

I cannot even describe how amazing this dessert is. I don't care if you don't like bread pudding- trust me- you'll like this. It is super simple but it does require you to be around for a couple hours.

Dulce de Leche (SO EASY)


1 can sweetened condensed milk

1. poke 2 holes in the top of the can and take off the paper wrap.
2. Put in a pot that has enough water in it to reach 3/4 the way up the can.
3. Turn on to a low simmer. Let simmer for about 4 hours.
4. Check every hour to make sure the water level stays up high.
5. Let cool, pour out of can and stir.

BREAD PUDDING

6 croissants
2 T butter
5 eggs
3 cups half and half
1 cup dulce de leche
1/2 t salt
1 cup chocolate chips

1. break croissants in to 1-inch peices. Toss with melted butter and bake until they are slightly toasted.
2. Mix together all the other ingredients. Add in the croissants. Let the bread soak up the milk mixture for 20 minutes.
3. Pour into baking dish and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, until it is solidified.

Be aware, you house is going to smell AMAZING for the rest of the day.

I had your DELICIOUS Krispy Kreme donut bread pudding, and I've heard you talk about many other types. What are your tips for modifying this recipe for different types of bread? Do you have a standard basic recipe that you start with?
