    This was easy and yummy. It comes out like chocolate bread pudding. Oh so good. I drizzled some melted chocolate across the top because my husband likes everything to have frosting. It came out good but not necessary.

    This was excellent served with fresh strawberries. Now I know why Europeans like a little chocolate in their breakfasts! Was great as dessert and leftovers for breakfast. Comfort food at its best!

    Made this for a dinner for a large group of family friends, and everyone loved it. Served it with vanilla ice cream, and the cold ice cream was a nice contrast to the hot bread. The only problem was that the middle of many pieces didn't soak up the custard and remained white, but it actually didn't affect the flavor or texture. Next time I'll be more careful to make sure every piece is soaked well with the custard.

    My 8-year old son made this with me and proclaimed it a winner! Very easy and good flavor. I also only let it set in the frig for about 45 minutes or so and then baked it off. I also used egg substitute since my husband is allergic. Worked very well. So many variations are possible! Thanks, Melissa!

    This chocolate french toast is unbelievably good and so easy to make! We had it for our valentines dinner. It will be one of my favorite recipes, I am sure.

    I made this for brunch using french bread (that's all I had on hand and it was delicious! I was afraid the flavor of the egg would overpower the chocolate, but it didn't. I was too impatient to wait the two hours before baking, and so I baked it after refrigerating it for 30 minutes. It turned out beautifully and my family loved it. I will be making this recipe again.

    My husband made this for me for Valentine's morning breakfast, and it is absolutely the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. He used vanilla frozen yogurt instead of vanilla and heavy cream (we didn't have any, and dark chocolate instead of regular. He also only let it set up for 30 minutes and it worked out fine. Simply heaven. This is going to be a holiday tradition from here on.

    I made this with a little skepticism but am soooo pleasantly surprised at its ease and the outcome. I substituted fat free half and half for the cream and non-fat vanilla ice cream for the dollop at the end and its the perfect quick and easy dessert. Outstanding and something the kids can make! : I'm wondering now about a little pepppermint ice cream on top during the holidays and thinking it'd be another holiday treasure and tradition as a dessert. Not certain it'd be ideal for a breakfast but as a brunch, spot on!
