Instructions
- Add eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, cocoa powder, and one Instant packet of hot cocoa to a large mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
- Add the challah bread pieces to the bowl in a few batches. Gently stir to ensure the bread is coated and has absorbed the mixture.
- Add bread to the prepared baking dish and top it with chocolate chips, repeating this with the remaining bread. Pour any remaining chocolate mixture over the bread.
- Add butter and brown sugar to a small saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring continuously for about 5-7 minutes. When the mixture is smooth and shiny, pour it over the bread. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Allow the casserole to stay at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before transferring to the oven.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Start checking at 25 minutes.
- Once it bakes, serve immediately, preferably with maple syrup and fresh fruits!
Notes
