Chocolate Bread Pudding

How do you make bread pudding even cozier? By adding HERSHEY’S COCOA! Our recipe for chocolate bread pudding comes from a vintage 1930’s Hershey’s cookbook and is full of golden raisins and pecans and topped with rich cream. It’s the perfect cold weather dessert.

Make this alongside some of our other bread pudding recipes, like our Capriotada Con Chocolate and Fireside Steamed Pudding.
