    Delish!. Made it with mini croissants and probably used closer to 5 1/2 cups of them instead of the 3 1/2 based on many of the comments. And I would do so again. Plenty moist and it would have been too "wet" for me otherwise. And because it makes such a large pan, once it was cold in fridge I cut it into serving size portions and wrapped them in two to freeze. Thanks for allowing me to not "waste". Though my waist may not thank you.

    Tasted amazing. The liquid it calls for is way more than needed... I was able to almost make a double batch out of the liquids, so if you do make the whole thing, have extra croissants ready. Also, to make it look more chocolatey, I stirred in a handful of chocolate chunks and placed a few on the top (this way, there is no mistaking what it is. Had several people ask for the recipe.

    I have never been a fan of bread pudding but this is AMAZING. I added more chocolate and less sugar and it came out perfect.

    I will say that it doesn't look great though, and I'm not sure how to improve the presentation. I brought it to a potluck and someone thought it was a mushroom casserole! LOL

    this was one of the best bread puddings i have had very rich and perfect texture. i used 3 large croissants--cubed they measured about 4 and 1/2 cups. i used about 7 ounces of chocolate melted with the cream and another 1 or 2 ounces that i chopped and sprinkled on the croissants before pouring the custard over.
    this was baked in a 9x13 oval ceramic casserole. it was great!

    I made this for the first time and it is just amazing. You could cut the liquid if you wanted (it is quite custardy but I loved it the way it was. Instead of folding the chopped chocolate into the custard, I tossed it with the croissants. This way there are intense bursts of chocolate throughout. YUM!

    I had small croissants which I didn't use for days so I decided to try this. I didn't think 4oz chocolate was enough so I added more. When it was baking I turned off the timer but forgot it in the oven. When I realized it I pulled it out thinking I would have to apologize to my guests. I don't think you can hurt this recipe. It was stunning, guests asked for my recipe and, of course, I was happy to share.

    It was even great cold the next a.m. for breakfast.
