Dulce de Leche Mexican Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding Recipe for a South of the Border Dessert Fiesta
I’m pretty sure there is a rule somewhere that requires a food blogger to make bread pudding at least once when autumn leaves begin to fall.
Mexican chocolate with its unique flavor is perfect in bread pudding with dulce de leche. So warm and comforting.
This is one of the best sweet bread puddings I have ever eaten. And trust me, southwest food fans, I have sacrificed so much for all of you for years and years of consuming hundreds of bread puddings so that I could bring you the very best taste and texture.
And so, my friends, here it is. Sweet. Flavorful. Creamy. And just in case it’s not decadent enough, drizzled with extra dulce de leche.
My, Oh My. What’s not to love?
