Chocolate Chip Brioche with Georgia Pecans Bread Pudding Recipe

Chocolate Chip Brioche with Georgia Pecans Bread Pudding Recipe

Bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts. However, I usually only eat it in restaurants because I could never find a recipe that I particularly liked. Then we picked up some Brioche Pasquier chocolate chip brioche,  and this Chocolate Chip Brioche Bread Pudding Recipe was born. It is amazing! If you can't find a brioche with chips, just some to the mix..it will still be great.
