I made this just this week in response to a request from my daughter after watching Paula make it on her show. This is seriously good chocolate heaven, folks!! I used 8 oz. of the newish Nestle Chocolatier Dark Chocolate chunks, whole....no grating, and it was perfect. Will be making again for Christmas brunch. I also just whisked all of the wet ingredients and flavorings together in one bowl before pouring over the bread cubes, and I can't imagine that it affected the outcome at all, other than saving dishes. If you even "kinda" like chocolate, you need to try this!
