Its a good time for some chocolate

Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding
Cooking Light Magazine
11 WW points for the entire pan


Preheat oven to 350°.

Arrange 1 3/4 cups (1/2-inch) cubed Hawaiian sweet bread (Buy it in the Deli section of grocery store)in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes or until toasted.

Remove bread from oven;

Combine 2/3 cup 1% skim milk with 2 tablespoons Splenda/sugar blend (I use a little less) and 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa; 1 tablespoon Kahlúa (coffee-flavored liqueur or substitute very strong coffee) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup Egg Beater in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk.

Add bread, tossing gently to coat. Do not over mix. It will turn to mush fast.

Cover and chill 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Pre-Heat oven to 325.

Put bread mixture in pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with 1 ounce semisweet chocolate (or just use a bag of large chocolate chunks), coarsely chopped.

Place in a larger baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch.

Bake at 325° for 35 minutes or until set.

I think it is even better when cooled.

Now we're talking! I love me a yummy snack for low points.

Now, a couple questions...
- this cubed Hawiian sweet bread - is it an American thing, or do you think I could find it here?
- sugar/splenda blend - is it half and half?
- and the water - it goes in the larger pan, right? Not directly on your bread/chocolate mixture?

Thanks for the recipe. :)

Hawaiian bread can be found in Deli... its a sweet bread. Often used to hallow out and put dip in the middle. You may want to ask at the store.... but if they dont have it- try french bread and add a little extra sugar.

The sugar/splenda blend is in the sugar aisle and it is a blend of both. It is not exactly 50/50 because Spelnda is sweeter than sugar. You can make your own by playing with the portions. Try adding a little Splenda to replace sugar until you find what you like.

Yes, the water goes in the larger pan not on top of the bread pudding. Its like a warm water bath for the pan of bread pudding.

Have you ever heard of bread pussing in Canada? It is VERY popular here and has endless ways to make it.
