Sinful Chocolate Delights + A Cajun Slow Song

Here's a divinely delicious bread pudding that I love to make on Valentine's Day and wanted to share with ya'll. Delectable chocolate, topped with a sinful, chocolate bourbon sauce and maybe a little whipped cream. Just heavenly, cher, and guaranteed to please. And what could be better to accompany this luscious treat than a  Chocolate-Cherry Martini! Cheers and Happy Valentine's Day!

Chocolate Bread Pudding w/ Chocolate Bourbon Sauce

1 loaf French bread, torn into pieces
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 large eggs
1 cup hot water

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Place bread pieces in a large bowl. In heavy saucepan over low heat,  add the chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Whisk together the milk, eggs, water, pecans, and melted chocolate chips. Pour over bread and mix well.

Let stand for 2 minutes and spoon bread into a buttered 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes. Serve with Chocolate Bourbon Glaze. (recipe below) Enjoy!

 A Cajun Slow Song

People often ask me if Cajuns ever dance slow, so here's a little song played by Joel Sonnier and the Jambalaya Cajun Band that is about as slow as it gets in Cajun country. Dedicated to my one and only love, this one's for you, cher!



Merci beaucoup for stopping by, ya'll!
