If beef stew seems a little ... well, mundane ... this dessert is anything but. The slow cooker adds a depth and richness to this delicious twist on a classic bread pudding. Use a standard size crock pot. Serves 5-6.
½ cup milk chocolate chips
3 eggs, beaten
3 ½ cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
3-4 cups cubed cinnamon bread
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup raisins
? Combine all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips), gently stirring until the bread cubes are thoroughly moistened.
? Place mixture in a greased slow cooker. Sprinkle your chocolate chips on top of the mixture. Cook on high for 3 hours, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve hot or cold. Enjoy!
Quick Tip:
Most bread puddings require older, dried bread. If you purchase cinammon bread, it’s usually very moist. To “dry out” your bread, break it into pieces, place it on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Watch it carefully!
