Preparation
Step 1
Place bread cubes in an 11 x 7 x 2 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with semisweet chips and 2 tbsp pecans. In a large saucepan combine 1 cup milk, brown sugar, cocoa, caramels, butter and chili powder. Cook and stir over medium low heat until caramels are melted. Add remaining milk, heat through.
Stir a small amount of mixture into eggs; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over bread cubes; let stand for 10 minutes or until bread is softened.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Drizzle with caramel topping and sprinkle with remaining pecans; bake 2-3 minutes longer or until caramel topping is heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes.
In a microwave, melt milk chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Drizzle over bread pudding. Refrigerate leftovers.
