I love rich chocolate desserts for special occasions. If you need other ideas, try Flourless Chocolate Cake or Brownie Pudding!
It’s been gross and rainy here in Texas and I’m so over it. I had fully switched over to my spring wardrobe and now I’m back in jackets. Not okay.
But that does mean I have an excuse to eat comfort food and what’s better than buttery croissants baked in a sweet custard with chocolate chips?!

Can You Make Croissant Bread Pudding Ahead
You can make this Chocolate Chip Croissant Bread Pudding the night before. Make sure it’s cool and then cover it tightly and pop it in the fridge overnight.
When you’re ready to bake it, just follow the baking instructions but it may need a few extra minutes. Check to make sure the custard is set by gently shaking the dish. If it’s still liquid, it needs more time.
