Ultimate dessert

Day old bread

Another southern recipe is bread pudding.  It is very easy to make and very decadent.  Basically it has everything caloric you can think of in it: cream, chocolate, sugar, bread, alcohol, more chocolate and more cream for the topping!  I made mine sans the whipped cream this time.  This recipe is actually Emeril LaGasse's and you can find it here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/chocolate-bread-pudding-with-spiced-cream-recipe/index.html
