  • 3 cup Milk
  • 4 ounce Semisweet baking chocolate
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 5 cup Old-fashioned white bread,

    Microwave on High for 9 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. 5
    Stir in the bread cubes, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and the remaining 1 cup of milk. Ensure the bread is evenly coated.
  6. 6
    Lightly beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then stir them into the bread and chocolate mixture.

    Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb some of the liquid.

    Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
