Blue Ribbon Recipe

Need a simple, yet decadent dessert? Try this bread pudding. It's simply divine! Typically bread pudding is made with stale bread. This recipe is made with biscuits and we may never make bread pudding another way again. The biscuits soak up all the chocolate flavor. Drizzled on top is a buttery and sweet caramel sauce that's the perfect complement to all the chocolate.
