 This is a great recipe. Its more like a deep chocolate pudding than a bread


 pudding. The bread crumbs dissolve and melt into the eggs and chocolate as


 it bakes, and forms a smooth custard that's rich but not heavy. Preheat


 oven to 325 degrees, with rack in center. Butter a 1 1/2 quart shallow


 baking dish. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, butter and chocolate.


 Bring to boil over med-low heat, and stir occasionally, until butter and


 chocolate melt. Meanwhile in a lg. bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla,


 cinnamon, and salt. Add bread crumbs and stir in the hot milk mixture. Pour


 into prepared baking dish. Bake until the pudding is set and kind of


 wobbly, but not liquid in the center, about 45-60 minutes; don't overbake.


 Let cool on wire rack. Serve the silk pudding slightly warm or cold, with


 whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you want. Serves 6 From: TJTJ71C

 Martha's note: Be sure to use unsalted butter. Salted changes taste


 considerably.
