Chocolate Chip Challah Bread Pudding

As promised I’m sharing with you this amazing Bread Pudding using the leftover Challah bread that I’d baked in my previous post.For those of you who haven’t entered my Tribes-A-Dozen Challah Bread mixes Giveaway there’s still time to enter!!

Bread Pudding has to be the most amazing dessert ever.Period.Its absolutely effortless and in my opinion the best dessert for a crowd.I had guests over during the kids’ spring break and I made this for them.Needless to say, they went for seconds and thirds.I also have to add here that using Challah made this dessert richer and delicious.

The layers of delicious custard all soaked up into the bread is the most comforting end to any meal and I just cannot get enough of it!The chocolate chips added some chocolate magic into the dish.To go along with it I made an instant Vanilla Bourbon Sauce that took this dessert to even greater heights.Enjoy.
