March Madness Day 22: Slow Cooker Chocolate Nutella Bread Pudding

Makes 4 to 5 servings

6-8 slices toasted French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes (6 cups)
1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 cups half and half
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup Nutella
6 Tbsp white sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp brown sugar

Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.  Combine bread and chocolate chips in slow cooker.  Whisk half and half, yolks, Nutella, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl and then pour over bread in the slow cooker.  Press on bread to submerge in liquid.  Sprinkle brown sugar over the top.  Cover and cook for about 3 hours on LOW, until the center is set.

Review:
(This is a simplified version of this recipe.)  Chocolate chips and nutella.  Need I say more?  It’s good (if you like bread pudding).  Try it.  4 stars.
