Scrummy Very Rich Easy Bread Pudding

It was cold one night, and I didn't feel so great...so here it is...pure comfort food. Enjoy, leave out the brandy if you want...just on bad days it's nice knowing it's there :)

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 4  cups  roughly chopped  day-old white bread
• 3  large eggs, whisked
• 1  cup milk
• 1  cup heavy cream
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup  roughly chopped  chocolate candy bar
• 1⁄2 cup cranberries
• 2  tablespoons brandy
•  butter
•  extra sugar
•  ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Cranberries and brandy in a bowl to soak.
2. Use the bit of butter to grease a small casserole dish; I use a 10-inch round casserole, but you get the drift.
3. Chop up bread into bite size pieces, uniformity just doesn't matter.
4. Chop up chocolate, and just leave it sitting on the chopping block with the bread.
5. Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, salt.
6. Dump in bread, chocolate, cranberry/brandy and stir it all up.
7. Dump into greased pan.
8. Flatten out the top, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
9. Bake at 350°F for 30 minute.
10. --So to summarize -- chop chop stir dump shove in oven -- not so bad huh? Enjoy! It is very nice with homemade whipped cream.
