Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread Pudding is irresistibly decadent and indulgent! Made with a baguette and Reese’s candies – this bread pudding is sure to be a new favorite in your home!
 I think you all know by now that Reese’s are my favorite candy. I really don’t think life gets much better than peanut butter and chocolate together – I mean, can it?? No, I didn’t think so. I’ve used Reese’s in so many fun ways and I really need to start sharing more of these recipes ’cause I’m sure you all love Reese’s as much as me  🙂  Fudge, cookies, cheesecakes, we love it all!
I was trying to think of an inventive way to sneak some Reese’s into our Easter meal since my entire family is all about Reese’s. Sure, we’ll have the Reese’s Eggs out and we’ll all enjoy one… maybe five of those but I wanted to make something special that everyone would enjoy and would be fun for Easter. Enter my crazy idea of Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread Pudding – and by crazy I mean – CRAZY GOOD!
Bread pudding is one of those things that you either love or hate and if you hate it, I’m guessing you’ve had a bad version. One surefire way to make a totally amazing bread pudding is by using the right bread. Bread pudding can be made using almost any type of bread but I love working with baguettes. They’re already crusty and have all kinds of nooks and crannies for all that yummy flavor to seep into.
I used a Ecce Panis European baguette from Walmart for this recipe and it was fabulous {picked up two extra for Easter lunch…plus a couple Neo-Tuscan Boules for spinach dips…plus some Bake at Home French Dinner Rolls…Yeah. We like bread around here.} Reese’s Chocolate Bread Pudding was a total hit at our Easter feast and I know your family will love it too. Here – I saved a bite just for you!
To really boost the flavor of this pudding I used both Reese’s minis and Reese’s peanut butter chips. Soooo good! I love how totally rich this dish is and it’s just perfect for a crowd!
