Brownie Bread Pudding is a decadent dessert that features moist bread soaked in a chocolate custard, studded with chunks of semisweet chocolate. The result is a gooey, chocolatey pudding topped with toasted walnuts for crunch. It's a cross between a fudgy brownie and a classic bread pudding, and it's perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth. This version is simple to make, and can be enjoyed for dessert or breakfast.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, toss the breadcrumbs and chocolate chunks together until evenly combined.
3.	In a small pot, heat the milk and butter until steam starts to rise, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
4.	Whisk the egg, sugar, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Gradually mix in the hot milk mixture, stirring constantly.
5.	Pour the mixture over the bread and chocolate, making sure all the bread is soaked.
6.	Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top if using.
7.	Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
8.	Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
