Chunky Monkey Bananas Foster Bread Pudding With Chocolate Sauce

• For the pudding
• 5 cups 1 inch crusty bread cubes, enough to cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan (day old if you're thinking ahead)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 4 bananas
• 1 cup (8oz) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 stick butter
• For the Sauce
• 1 cup (8oz) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 3/4 cup heavy cream

1. Grease the inside of a 9x13 baking dish, and arrange the bread in the bottom. Nestle the bananas in with the bread, and sprinkle the walnuts and chocolate over the top
2. Beat the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and rum together. Pour over the top of the bread and bananas. Push down any bread that sticks up to make sure everything is coated. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the brown sugar. Mix until a thick paste is formed, and drizzle the brown sugar mixture over the top of the pudding.
4. Heat your oven to 350. Bake for 50 minutes, or until custard is set.
5. For the Chocolate Sauce, simply melt the chocolate over low heat in a small saucepan. Whisk in the cream until smooth.
6. Spoon out the pudding with a side of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and serve!
