Recipe for my Chocolate Brioche Bread and Butter Pudding

I've loved bread and butter pudding since i was a little girl, most likely because it contains most of my favourite foods; butter, bread, cream and sugar!!

I quickly whipped this up earlier in the week to use up left over brioche not that we needed it.

This is one of my go to deserts especially in the winter months when you need something that feels comforting!
