Made this in about 5 minutes following Thanksgiving dinner. So easy and so delicious! I used Bailey's and it gave it a wonderful flavor. I couldn't stop eating it....not a healthy snack!!

I used stale english muffin bread and substituted icecream for cream, as I did not have any cream. Used a glass cooking dish and cooked for 70 minutes. No other changes. I was afraid of all the almond, as I am not a big fan, but it totally worked! The top came out nice and crispy, the buttom nice and gooey. Everyone just loved it. I served it warm over vanilla bean ice cream. A BIG hit and will be making this again, noting my changes. I think when bread puddings do not turn out - people are not using the correct bread, and should try it using a heavy type bread, as heavy breads do not get mushy.

If you love bread pudding and you love chocolate, this one's for you! I've made this several times and it is a favorite wherever I take it. I did use only 1 tsp. of almond extract because it is so strong (but great flavor and added a little extra vanilla. I also do not like coffee (we're tea drinkers so instead of coffee liqueur I added a little hershey's chocolate syrup. I've always loved old fashioned bread pudding, but this is better! Thanks, Paula!

If you like bread pudding and you like chocolate, you'll love this! I didn't try using the almond extract because everyone else scared me away from it and I didn't have any anyway, but this is delicious. It's even better with the cream sauce which my wife thought was great, but I just eat it plain straight out of the fridge. Great as is! Try this for either a dinner party or for a dessert that you can munch on for days because it makes a lot. Easy to make too.

Love bread puddings and love chocolate. Even love the white chocolate bread pudding at Commander's Palace in New Orleans.

This was just an awful mess; threw it out after trying it. Way too much bread for the other amounts (and I didn't even put in as much as was called for. There was no pudding in this bread pudding.

The bread pudding was sooooo good! I listened to the other reviews and used only 1 tsp. of almond extract, plus that is all we had left. The coffee liquor really brings out the taste! I love the texture with the chocolate chips on top, gives a nice crunch with the soft mushy pudding.

Paula, this was wonderful! My husbands loves this and asks for it often. In fact, we are going to a brunch this morning and he said "pleeease", so I better get started. I did add some chopped pecan pieces to the top before cooking and the consensus was that is the way to go. The cream sauce is also a must! Thanks again Paula for sharing this unique version of bread pudding that will stay in our family and that we can share with friends.

i didn't use the almond. it was chocolate over-load, a bit too much, i think.
other than that, if you're a die-hard chocolate lover, you should try it... without the almond extract.

We did not enjoy this recipe. The texture was not pleasant, and even though I only used 1 teaspoon of almond extract, it still was overpowering and had a fake taste. Oh, well, you win some and you loose some! :
