Chocolate Bread Pudding

10 cold biscuits, broken into pieces (I use cold leftover homemade biscuits. Can use whatever bread you like or about five or six cups of bread pieces)
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons cocoa
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnut pieces

In a large bowl pour hot water over biscuit pieces and toss with a spoon.  Let set for about 10 minutes.  Mix the rest of the ingredients, except chocolate chips and nuts, together in a smaller bowl with a whisk. Pour over biscuits.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Spray a 2 quart casserole dish and fill with mixture.  Spread nuts over the top.  Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 50 – 55 minutes.  Makes about 8 servings. Serve with hot fudge topping below.  Can add ice cream and topping to serve.

Hot Fudge Sauce

3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
