Chocolate Walnut Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

• 6 cups diced Baguette or sourdough bread cubes (or any hearty bread)
• 1 ¼ cup semisweet chocolate pieces
• 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 cups milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 8 oz jar of Fat Toad Farm Goat’s Milk Caramel Sauce 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Generously butter a 3 quart rectangular baking dish.  Spread bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with chocolate pieces and walnuts.
2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Pour evenly over bread mixture.  Mix thoroughly to coat bread pieces and press down gently with the back of a spoon.
3. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. To prevent overbrowning, cover loosely with foil for the last 5 – 10 minutes.
4. Scoop into bowls and serve with Fat Toad Farm Goat’s Milk  Caramel Sauce
